Stats as i hope we know do not tell the whole story. He looks utterly pedestrian when carting the ball up, is easily dealt with which leads to a slow play the ball. There is more to being an effective forward than simply meters gained. He looks a championship player through and through to me, causes absolutely no problems for the opposition at all. To be an effective forward at this level you have to be able to either offload, 'get your nose through the tackle' for a fast play the ball, or have some distribution skills. Clough has none of these and is a waste of a play every time he gets the ball.

Regarding Mamo, he may not be getting everything right, but he is a breath of fresh air to me. He has bags of enthusiasm, and in his first match was trying to get on the end of everything we were creating, which is great. I hope he drags certain players level of enthusiasm upwards and not visa versa!!

I think the point being made is that Gaskell has made several breaks In The last couple of games and hasn't had the support.

Yes and I agree. the original post I was responding to mentioned having support for Derek and his offloading game and how it wasn't supported. With Derek and taai making offloads in collision mamo and brierley have the speed and elusiveness to create clear breaks.
With Gaskell now dipping the shoulder and getting though jake and brierley could also be there in support of him

so if gaskell is making clean breaks

brierley is backing up taking offloads

is brough not in the team?

Nope Brierley isnt !
Sounds like another good signing gone bad along with our strategy and style of play !
Aah well I fail to be surprised any more along with many of the "pay up and (try to) smile long term supporters of our team !

solved that!
