No doubt Clubb will start and I wouldn't be surprised to see Clark get dropped for Byrne

On The prop problem thread I mentioned that Clark was going to be left out Hudds away until Powells withdrawal

Dont be surprised if (when) your right this week

What's the crack about getting into Warrington? Is there pay on the gate or do you need a ticket?

Surprised to see Bateman back, wasn’t he meant to be behind Smithies, Hardaker and Manfredi returning ?

If he does play he has to play loose forward for me.

KPP playing too well to be dropped, some real strong running last week and is better than I thought he’d be defensively.

Bateman should help sure up the defensive up the middle against what I think is the best front row in SL.

I genuinely don't know one person who would have Clubb in the starting 17 when there are other options.

100% record the lad

He’s a winning machine. We shall not be beaten this entire season whilst Clubby is leading the charge

It’s a proper odd stat. We can’t have been missing his four carries and 13 tackles a game in that losing run but I can understand why Lam would keep him in. In fairness to Big Tony he didn’t have a bad game last week. He didn’t do big minutes but his time on the field was decent enough (8 carries for 68 metres and 20 tackles). It’s him sticking at that level that we need. It’s not ground breaking stuff but it’s workable.

With regard to Clubb I can only conclude that he must offer some sort of influence or presence on the pitch which has an affect on the team around him, and makes it worthwhile picking him above better performing players.

I didn't watch the game on Friday, but it was interesting to see the MEN's opinion on Clarke

I also don't get how Singleton starts every week. His stats are awful compared to Havard who not only makes 50% more metres than Singleton, he has the same tackle %, makes less errors and gives away less penalties.

I read the MEN report on the game a couple of weeks ago, and it was like we were watching different games!

Is Clubb playing any worse than the other big and experienced "big" front row signings, Bullock and Singleton?

If they played to the potential for which they were signed, Lam might not have to resort to playing Clubb!

Clubb is retiring at the end of the season after giving 100% for the club in a career of seven years which has included having had a major operation which is more than can be said for Bullock, Singleton and other prop forward signings during the same period.

Who will be the target for constant abuse by the same minority next season?

I am a firm believer in picking the players who are doing well. At the moment Clarke is having his best run with us and KPP has been outstanding. I would, however, pick Hastings in the halves and O'Neil in front of AB.
