| Forget putting him in the backs unless you have an injury crisis at centre, I think you can use Clubb in one of two ways:
- Use him as a wide running second row, leveraging the fact that he spent a lot of his early career as a centre and has a decent turn of pace for someone who is over 16 stone.
- Do what Broncos have been doing recently which is playing him in a "13 as a extra prop" role, which reflects his willingness to do some hard graft, but also his ability to come into the attacking line like an extra back. He's not a "creative 13" as we're often acustomed to in the British game, but he's okay in the more physical 13 role the Aussies often prefer.
If he can stay clear of injuries I think he could surprise you as an impact player, he could fit into a high tempo gameplan quite well, get him hitting holes and he'll be charging off down the field given half a chance. And if you just need someone to come in and soak up some work in the middle he can do that.
The probelm at Broncos has been that he's been in an underpowered pack that always starts too far down field to create impact let alone give him opportunities to shine. But injuries aside he's done his best for us and that's involved being messed around to suit our needs, some fans are just annoyed with him because he said in an interview what everyone with half a brain thought was bleedingly obvious.

| I, like a lot of us, don't rate Clubb although Sarginson always did appear to have potential.
However, after recruiting Dudson, Flower, Green and Smith who we were told were average or less and have turned out to be excellent I'll reserve judgement on these two lads to see how they go in 2014.
The coaching staff do have the ability to develop a player's talent fully.
Wigan RLFC are a very good club to support.

| I thought Sarginson was pretty impressive in the 60 mins I saw if yesterday's Knights game. He was solid enough in defence and was a constant threat with the ball, coming close to breaking the line numerous times. I can fully understand his signing because he was a fantastic junior player and impressed when he came in to first team at London. The lad has lost his way a little but there's no better club to be at then Wigan to improve.

Sarginson has great footwork, a good turn of pace and is quite creative so he will make breaks. His downsides are he is weak in defence, he lacks a bit of physical presence and he can be greedy which means he'll make a great break and then spoil it by not passing to a support runner when he needs to. Like Clubb nobody is sure what his best position should be, but in some ways he is kind of the opposite, early on people thought he might become a loose forward in the long term, but he doesn't look to have the physical attributes (whereas Clubb was a centre whose physical attributes always made it look like he would end up in the pack). He's mostly played centre for us, but don't be surprised if he ends up covering Matt Bowen at fullback.

[quote="FlexWheeler":8f22o6ue]The extent of his coaching is ''BASH EM, JUST F*CKING BASH EM. HE'S LOW ON CONFIDENCE, BASH HIM''
He's a limited coach that won't last long term.[/quote:8f22o6ue]
....
[quote="rubber duckie":8f22o6ue]That would make Wigan strong favourites then. With Ratchford at FB and Patton with Cronk in the halves, I think we'll do very well without Sam.[/quote:8f22o6ue]: |

Luckily weak defence is something that can (and hopefully will) be solved. Other wise its quite simple, he won't play. Wane is massive on his defence.
On the same hand, Wane is a perfectionist about picking the right option with ball in hand. If he continues to make the wrong decisions he will be left out until he makes the right ones, so i have faith in them to sort this out.
Time will tell all anyway. He could play a number of positions, but all we can do is speculate about it for now.
