My point is if the only positive thing we can say about a 7 is his defence is awesome, then that sort of proves the point that he isn't a good 7.

IMO it is time for all at the club to accept that Monaghans best position is at hooker, and for him to start there with Higham adding impact from the bench. Briers/Bridge, Briers/VAnderson, even Briers/Gleeson or Clarke/Briers would make a better halfback pairing

Awesome, another bullet at Latchford Wolvesfan.

Please don't mention Clarke as playing alongside Briers. I had terrible flashbacks of the final Castleford game last season.

Clarke/Briers would probably work quite well if Briers had his creative head on. If the pack is dominant, then Clarke's kicks downfield/into the corner would be very effective.

Our halves didn;t talk to each other & barely looked at one another. One thing you teach kids from year dot is not to stand too flat & not to take the ball stood still.

Every pass between the 2 halves was direct at the man who then had to build the attack momentum again from a standing start. It wasn't going to happen. And the other thing was that when the backs attacked (especially Penny unfortunately) the wings were running lines 6-10m away from touch. We played a very compressed game.

I think the best thing Bridge can do to advance his chances of getting into the Warrington starting 13 is to develop an Australian accent.

Clarke has been good in the recent past but please don't make him kick. Higham could easily fill that role but we should really have at least 2 proper kickers at the club (Bridge if he plays?). Clarke isn't a great kicker, and this is not a critism because that should not be his role

How good is Hick's in-game kicking? To be honest I can't really ever remember seeing him doing tactical kicking.

Pretty difficult from the wing isn't it.

NO HE IS NOT.

Sorry Lefty but you are deluded.

I dont think I've ever seen Higham kick a ball, when you play alongside Sean long and paul sculthorpe at Saints and Trent barret at wigan it would be a very rare occurance that he needed to kick....

Clarke has in fact produced kicks of a quality better than monaghan but the thought of Clarke doing something better than another rugby player doesnt sit well with the majority on here so its no suprise that all and sundry are suggested as different options for kickers over Clarke

I agree...........

You are, he has played the majority of his career at half back and has been excellent at it. Your just making stuff up.
