I reckon Clubb needs to move into the front row TBH.

Needs to move on... icon_wink.gif
Can't see him getting a game in the front row with the props we have.

I agree with this, though I can't see him displacing any of the 5 main props. He seems fine being used simply as a battering ram and defending in the middle, but we need more clever dummy running in from our SRs for our attacking structures to be effective. He doesn't seem mobile enough to play as a wide running SR, which seems strange considering he's got international caps playing centre.

He does just look like a straight up and down ball carrier and to date a move to prop would be the best bet. He's making good ground with the ball but he's not been looking to move the ball at all and it's starving those around him of possession. It is early days though and I suppose it's only natural to play a little within yourself early in your career with a new club. He looks like a guy that is just trying to keep things simple and error free.

He like anyone needs time to settle.

We don't know the intructions Clubb has been sent out with.
He's only played a couple of games and although an experienced SL player is very new to the way things are done and the intesity that Wigan play at.
Could be that the coaching staff are trying to help him through this transition and as yet after less than six games he's not where they or he wants to be.

Even for this board this topic is comical. I'm not saying he will turn out to be success, but writing him off after a few games is pathetic. Apart from Eric Wane hasn't got many wrong.

Are people writing him off or saying that on showing so far he shouldnt play in the biggest match of the next 6 months?

When playing centre his mobility in defence was his biggest issues from what I saw. The best games I've seen Clubb play were at prop and he's rarely started at second row in the last few years. It might be that he will just need some time to adjust, although going off his previous performances and his body shape I'd be uncertain about his mobility when defended and his ability to fulfil a role that best suits the most athletic, all rounders within a team (just look at the likes of Farrell, Hansen, Hock, Joel Tomkins, Hoffman etc - tall, strong, quick, aggressive and very mobile).

Lauaki himself was fine when he played.

Clubb needs time to settle before any judgements on him can really be formed.
