Spot on. Nothing special, did his job.
Thought jesse was outstanding. Second row is by far his best position, caused London load of problems down the right.

I'd hazard a guess hoggy will get his starting spot back when he's fit

Bit like Alex Foster when he first joined the club?? I’ve high hopes for CC to be a regular in the 17 come seasons end....

Forgot about Oggy to be honest but yes you may be right even though I would still have Meeks and Jesse above him.

Jesse may possibly go back to playing prop/back row from the bench.

If we ever get back to a full compliment in the forwards DP has some major decisions to make:
Watts
Millington
Moors
Cook
Clark
Jesse
McMeekan
Oggy
Foster
Clarkson
Massey
Milner

12 players there to fit into 5 spots and 3/4 bench spots. All them 12 are all good enough to be in the 17 too. Amazing.

agree there swagger, got through a lot of work in defence to say he is way off match fit. couple of handling errors but can only improve with game time. could be a good find and if not we haven't lost much. must admit i like his calm attitude.

Clarkson stood up in defence but offered little in attack, that could be said for all our right side though. Clarkson will always be behind Meeks Jsl Holmes n Foster for a back row shirt but hes a safe/cheap option for back up as the injuries pile up.

Depends whose in and out of form at the time. I remember many on here being of the same mindset when we signed Foster and he turned out ok.

Clarkson will be better next time out after that last nite. He is a good solid pro and will give us good value throughout the year.
