With tackling machine Sam Powell missing someone's got to make up his numbers.

You're right although I'm concerned Lam will use this as rationale to bring back Tony Clubb. |

I get the feeling Clark not being played is a management call as much as anything. I think they need him out to get another overseas player in for next season and it seems like they’re doing their best to push his nose out. The lad isn’t perfect but he can punch a hole here and there and he shouhh oh d be getting games at the minute.

| Quote: Egg Chasing "I still want to see Smith behind a pack.
In the first half we made less than 30 yards in a set. Hastings kicked. Coote took the ball further upfield than we finished.
No half can play behind that pack. Similarly, a 9 can't run from dummy half when you never win a ruck.
Scully was spot on and even Phil Clarke has been for months. Mustn't have sky at Casa Lenegan.'"
100% this. |

And any adverse comments by Sculthorpe about Wigan might have more to do with him having a chip on his shoulder about his son being not being signed from the Academy rather than the game itself.
Barry McDermott is another as a result of being got rid of by the club.'"
Ah, thanks for explaining this, it makes perfect sense now. Wigan are actually beating everyone out of sight, they are playing scintillating rugby! Sculthorpe has no clue what he’s on about (the guy’s no idea….) nor has Baz!
Here’s to another couple of years of success under Lam, the coach of the year 2020….
No, wait??…… |

I went to the Dragons v Roosters game on Sunday. Ellis is a big boy, not much smaller then Wareah Hargreaves. From what I saw he won’t make huge metres with the ball but can’t be any worse than what we have. Does a lot more minutes than Clubb so that’s a good start. |

Looking at his stats, he had the worst meters made & post contact meters for the St George pack. Having said that, it was the 1st game I've seen him start so he must be progressing.
With guys like this, you can only sit back and see how it plays out. |

That must be a joke?
26 tackles is barely ground breaking.
Are the forwards also to blame for when Smith kicks it out on the full or throws a pass to the floor?

It's about 4 or 5 games worth for Tony Clubb
