We haven't signed Clarkson. He is on a one month trail.

The 28-year old has joined the rest of the first team squad with a hope of earning a first team contract with the Tigers.

You woudnt really have him on trial unless you believed you needed a player in that position and the said player was the sort of player you wanted . Why trial him if your not wanting him .

Yet he and our ex star player stitched us up and went to Wigan. As for Wells wasn’t a fan when he got the job still not convinced otherwise.

Exactly. If he goes like Alex Foster then win-win. If he goes like Ryan Bailey we will get rid then win-win
I just don't see the value with the forward pack we have the fact he's not going to come for peanuts he's never one to get people talking in the good sense were terribly light in the backs imagine if Eden's hammy goes again and shenny tweaks his back. I could even undeestand if he was an out and out prop but he's a backrower at best I hope I end up eating my words but I just don't see it.
Egodo/Gill(if there is a recall option) to wing, peanut to centre, turner to fullback.

I think Powell might be being smart here and giving himself options - if whoever he chooses to play at 7 doesn't go well, he can move McShane there with Milner to 9 and then with Donaldson we have another option at 13 to spell Massey.

I don't think we're in as bad shape as some people on here think. There's a lot of hypocrisy on this forum whereby if we ever lose a young player Powell is demonised as never giving them a chance, this year he brings no one in with the view that if we get injuries, we have a younger crop of players to step up and again Powell is demonised for being unprepared for the season.

Full back: Pete, Turner
Wingers: Eden, Clare, Minikin, Egodo, Gill, Carr
Centres: Shenton, Minikin, Egodo, Pete, Storey

How can it be fact when we havent seen minikin play centre yet ??

And you would rather have a 36yr old playing centre then a lad coming into him prime. The cracks were showing last year with webster. He could have done a job as a sub for 2nd but we already have 6 of these.

JY is better than Clare yes but then we wouldn't have peanut at FB if JY was still here, so would be even worse off than we are now[/quote]
We still have a quota spot option so why would we not have Matautia ? Can,t see why we let Jy go if we don't use his quota spot this season. Letting Webster and Jy go as certainly left us with out much cover in the three quarters.[/quote]
When we signed Mata’utia we had to get rid of jy because we also had QLT so if jy hadn't left we wouldn't of been able to sign Mata’utia im sure if powell wanted he could get him back from Bradford but like said powell had jy behind clare.[/quote]


Clare is better than JY[/quote]

What you been smoking ?[/quote]

The only thing JY has over Clare is he is a better finisher. All other qualities for example, in defence, under the high ball etc Clare is better.

In regards to what I have been smoking, would you like some?

Agree. Not blown away by this as a potential signing but with Holmes injured, Clarkson adds competition for second row slot whilst also freeing up foster for centre. Extra incentive for minikin to perform and therefore for Clare.
Competition for places drives performances. All has a knock on effect.

So you're saying that them 2 were in some sort of conspiracy towards the club, to get ZH a move to Wigan?

Can't think of too many teams that can boast forwards like that?!
I don’t know why you have put Maher on that list I think I could name quite a few amateur teams with better forwards than him total waste of money

If we employed Harrison I believe we’d have more cap to spend as then agents fees wouldn’t count as he’d be an agent for us and not the players.

Or to see that bringing in last season's top tackler at K.R. would be a sound move defensively.
