| THE HALL/MOON PARTNERSHIP....
I night throw a cat amongst the pigeons here but here goes...
I think that they dont gel
Moon is a fantastic centre and one of our stand out players for sure
The problem, i think, is that when moon draws in the defenders and then passes to Hall its often a back hand side pass at various levels/speeds and Hall never knows what pass he's gonna get, Hall is best at getting the ball in his hands and barging defenders out the way, for me, moon needs to be less flashy and give Hall the ball sooner and let him do his stuff cos alot of times moon holds on to it for too long and when Hall finally gets it he needs to cut inside and then the chance is gone
Id like to see how BJB and Moon work together and Jimmy and Hall, that would at least even out the quality at each side of the pitch, i think the opposition make sure the hall/moon side gets defended more stringent than the other

Singleton is the Anti Kirke. So aggressive in all contact. Baldwinson looked the part too. I'd like to see much more of both but, sadly, when the missing players are fit I suspect they will miss out on selection to the Big Friendly Giant.'"
Yep. I also get the feeling that Clarkson is becoming the mini-me version of Kirke.

| Moon has been with us long enough not to be New Moon now ... time to move him to 1, 6 or 7 ... then he could be Half Moon or Full Moon.

| I never understand the negativity towards Clarkson on here. He runs the ball in and doesn't check, he is a brilliant line runner and his defensive work is one of the best on the team. He may not knock guys back when he runs the ball up but to compare him to Kirke is crazy to me.

To be fair, Clarkson really has not progressed as you would have hoped and (IMO) last night he was shown once again to be a liability in defence as well as pretty average taking the ball in.
If he's not careful he'll be soon overlooked for some of the younger lads and then... well, he'll be shipped off to some mediocre club like Hull FC or Huddersfield

The Sky commentary team picked two defensive misreads from him in quick succession in the first half last night. I'm not convinced his defence is so good to be keeping more able attackers out of the team. He's never struck me as a workhorse like JJB, nor is he a punisher like Kylie. In the past he looked promising but (when I've seen him) doesn't seem to bring much to the table these days. An able body, nothing more.

The effort is clearly there though. The point I was making was more regarding the Kirke comparison. IK looks so half hearted the majority of the time and that's the annoyance to people. Clarkson never looks like that to me. He makes mistakes but he is relatively young still. Ok, he missed a couple last night but I never walk away from a ground thinking that he hasn't played full.
I'm not for one minute saying he should be guaranteed a place either, but he's no where near as bad as some make out.

| Whilst i agree Keinhorst was "off the pace" last night i don't think that's him finished and that right edge defence clearly lack communication as much as anything else the perfect example was Handburys 2 tries.
With regards to the pack IF the rumours about Baldwinson are true then i'll again state the money wasted re-signing kirke should have gone on retaining Baldwinson and Singleton imo.
Clarkson just looks lost at times to me he's not a battering ram forward as such and seems to be utilised that way.
Defensively our communication is off and in some ways given the absentees/youngsters and the regular way players change their places in the defensive line isn't helping.
What i do hope happens is that the youngsters continue to get gametime ,Burrow stays at 7 and GH tears Kirkes contract up in favour of better deals for some of the younger lads.
