I agree with the "size" issue - especially in the modern game at Origin or Test level. Regular big centres such as Matt King and Israel Folau have been used on the wing in Origin and Tests.
Test football requires the right players playing a simple game plan at lightning speed. We saw from the 2008 World Cup that the right players doesn't mean packing the side with players from the top 2 teams in the League.
I'm a Quins season ticket holder and Tony Clubb has had a poor season. But if its size we need out wide at Test level, he's the man for the job.
Just to echo, Clubb had a great game, as the saying goes you can only play whats in front of you, and Clubb did that very well.
As for young players being stuck in the pack, yes totally agree.
Huddersfield are almost criminally guilty of it with a couple of their players. If they have pace and size, work on their speed and handling and get them in the centres (like Crabtree started in!)

Completely agree, but he was,nt the only player with inflated reputations.
