I wouldn't particulary take him over Ade (whom I expect to be on his way out of saints reasonably soon). He's more pacey, I suppose, but no star.

Agreed, I hope the two more signings we're reportedly working on are of a really good calibre. Especially the back.

The Chris Hill one seems to have legs, in my mind. I know its been implied that Lafranchi is going to play prop to replace Graham, but I'm kind of thinking Royce always starts a prop at 13, so he, along with TP fill this role, so we'd have -
8. Perry
10. Hill
13. Puletua
14. LMS
15. Laffranchi
or such like.
I really don't know what interesting english backs are available if we've got another signing lined up.

| Karl Pryce and Gareth Carvell were the players we were looking at.

He would be an excellent signing. A proper centre, giving us two for the first time in years. Very solid defensively and a big barge over presence in the centres in attack.

Would he be a better option at centre than Soliola or Wheeler (ignoring Wheeler's injuries, which I admit is difficult to do)?
I don't think he would be.

Personally, I think he's crap. I'd rather have Wheeler in there, or even Meli.

I personally think he would. He's not a Saints-type player, very reminiscent of a vintage Bradford player, all brawn and no class. But he's a natural centre who can defend in that position. I don't think personally Soliola, who is a massive defensive liability, would be able to cope at centre. Wheeler as you mention is always injured and isn't naturally a centre and would have to develop into one over time. Meli is a quality centre IMO, but always has his lapses.
I'm not suggesting Clubb would be the best signing we've ever made, but he'd improve the depth of the squad and overall strength of the starting 13 IMO.

Hasn't Clubb topped the Super League missed tackle charts for the last few years running (a vague memory from the VT)?

Just checked ... I have done him a disservice. He was only top last season, with 92 missed tackles. Not exactly promising, though, even in a poor side.

I stand corrected. Twice in a day. Unbelievable scenes.
Maybe we're after him to keep LMS company as he can't understand any of the locals.
