Yep. Hodgson and Clark without a doubt.

Got to disagree with that one. iMO Clarke doesn't seem to have come on much since he left Cas in the times I've seen him against Salford. In fact I'd say he's gone backwards (or maybe he just hasn't performed against us). Roby is an outstanding player tho and even tho he's getting on a bit I'd rather face Clarke than Roby.
Roby up there with the greatest British hookers I've seen in my 30 years watching the game.

| I cant believe people rate Clark above Roby to be honest. Roby has been, and still is the best 9 in this country by an absoulute distance for me.

Not too sure what Roby brings of the bench? He has been a great player over the years but now coming toward the back end of his career and for me his best asset now is that he plays to a good level for 80 minutes and not much gets past him. Hodgson can probably even do that better than Roby now, Clarke brings some flare of the bench and something a little bit different.

| Another point, Clarke seems to show up in big games and on an international level he seems to raise his game.

Ditto.
Personally I rate Houghton above Clarke now. Thought Clarke would have took Robys mantal, but had never really pushed on.

That's an awful shout. Clark has been unreal this season and better than his MOS winning season. He's a phenomenal player.

Watts is a penalty machine every year.

| Quote: Lord Tony Smith "You do know Tom Burgess is twice the player George is, don't you? Widdop over George Williams as well.'"
I'll bow to your greater knowledge if you've seen more of them than me this year. George has certainly done more in an England shirt. Widdop has been injured nearly all year hasn't he? Roby over Clarke for experience as much as anything given I'm recommending no Lockers, and now we'll have no S.Burgess either. Picked Hill because I think he knows how to intimidate without getting sent off, and again, experience when we'll be missing other experienced players.
