| Quote ChrisA="ChrisA"I won't state that he's going to be a star. However I'm far more optimistic he will add value to our squad. He offers something that none of our other forwards do, which is proper size combined with aggression. If we can concentrate on his strengths and minimise his weaknesses he could be a very useful player and a real crowd pleaser.'"

Everyone is far more optimistic than Dave O!!! |

| Quote DaveO="DaveO"If that is his role he is going to have to fight Faz for that slot. Faz will have four more years to go on his contract as of next season as well.
Given both those two are on long term deals a horrible thought has just crossed my mind. For next season Wigan took up the option on Hansen's contract to extend it for a season so I hope the long term deals Clubb and Faz are on do not shut the door on H getting another deal. He was outstanding in the GF and will be a top player for several seasons yet. We need to keep Mr Koucash's mits off H!'"
You can never discount the possibility that H might be up for a move... Maybe the management already know of certain players intentions. Much as people here don't like it, i can see other players leaving before their contracts end if they get offered enough money, and if it appears to be a good deal for the club. This does not make us a "selling club" as some would have it, it makes us a solvent club that deals in the market. |

Overheard in Wigan town centre
1st old guy - "I see Wigan Warriors have bought Tony Clubb"
2nd old guy - " Tory Club eh, must be where they are putting that museum".

After some of the injuries that we suffered this season (2013) some of these signings seem sensible, lost of depth within the squad.
Can we farm players out and bring them back when we want from the scorpions and other championship clubs?
Does anyone know if we are sending any of the youngsters out on loan to other clubs?

| Quote Kelvin's Ferret="Kelvin's Ferret"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.'"
Speculation is great, and we all have opinions. Amongst the poorly informed posts this guy has actually seen him play regularly. Don't forget Chubb scored three in one game for England before his career stagnated.

Over the last 2 years most of the players signed have proved many wrong including me. Especially the Welsh props and the 6 and 7 combination we now have.
The club structure turns average players into good one and good ones into great ones. They will improve with us or a hungry 19 year old will take their spot. One small note though i will not judge them on their performances for the Broncos it must have been tough to motivate yourself day in day out knowing you were getting beaten. A change of clubs will be a culture shock for both.

Hopkins is already better and will become far better than A.Powell will ever be.

So did Henderson Gill...
I am totally willing to give Clubb a chance but people really should stop bringing up a game from 4 years ago when he played in a position he's not played in for nearly 2 seasons as an example of his class. |

I think like many i like to see big name signings. But I'm reminded of the story Jack Charlton tells about a conversation with Alf Ramsay. Jack said to Alf "Why me boss, there are better players than me out there", Alf replied "Yes Jack there are, but the best players don't make the best team".
