He is a wing, leave him there.
Don't agree with the lack of pace, I just think he has been coached badly. He was good enough for England at Centre, so get him back training like one. All this swapping around is bad for a young players development.

Agreed. Not only has he been switched from centre to backrow, he's been switched from right to left this year.
Put him at right centre so that he knows what is expected of him from one game to the next. Clubb 3, Howell 4 worked well at the end of 2008.

yes.....and if we get injuries/suspensions, play the 34 average second/back row forwards we have in the pack.

Why?
Seriously, have you seen the number of back/second row forwards we have on our books? Clubb won his cap as a centre and just because Mac feels he may make a loose forward or second row isn't a reason to mess with a lad who one a cap at centre.
He has also owned Gleeson & Matt King and kept Senior very very very quiet and they are three of the most experienced centres in SL.
Centre for me......we have a need for props, not second/back rowers.

Clubb has come in, but clearly wants to play in the second-row. His pace, or lack of has been clear for all to see when coming in as a centre or on the wing.
'"
I agree that Clubb may have more potential as an attacking second-row, but I disagree that he has a lack of pace for a centre, he's plenty quick enough for centre. The problem he has as a second-row is that BM seems to have a thing for grafting second-row forwards with limited attacking potential.

I want my centres to do more than just keep the oppo quiet.

so do most people, but given our flanks have been turnstiles for the latter part of this season, I would like to shore up that area, THEN worry about creativity.......

I think it is less of a rumour and more that the chairman told one of our supporters this is the case.
Brian has mentioned in an interview we're bringing 2x props and an outside back. We know one of the props is Wilkes and the other is likely to be Matt James from Bradford.
It's fairly obvious we won't be any stronger next season.

We can always pray that other sides fall back even further than us? Wakey, Salford, Bradford...

Sadly both Wakefield and Bradford have some proven, solid NRL players already signed and Salford have just received a big cash windfall from the Myler sale.

No one will ever manage to find two more injury prone, ineffective second rowers than the two injury prone, ineffective second rowers we found.
