Tony Clubb
What has happened to Tony Clubb is he injured again it appears he could get injured running on the pitch to do a 6 minute stint with 2 hit ups a game & we let Budgie go and kept Clubb it makes no scene to me .
I have no vendetta with Clubb but over the last 3 to 4 years he has been the worst productive forward we have so why do we keep him.

I think the reason is that we have very few "older" props at the club (pun intended )ddtftf wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 9:17 am What has happened to Tony Clubb is he injured again it appears he could get injured running on the pitch to do a 6 minute stint with 2 hit ups a game & we let Budgie go and kept Clubb it makes no scene to me .

We have some fantastic young talent, but until the age of say 22 they are still essentially kids.
RL is a contact sport and even in this age of overprotection, you sometimes need some big units on the field.
Re: Tony Clubb
The problem is he is never on the field to protect anyone so not a valid point

Re: Tony Clubb
I don't see how we can compare Joe Burgess with Tony Clubb? Like comparing Brett Dallas with Craig Smith!
I can't think of any prop we have who offers less than Clubb currently. I think a combination of age, injury and match fitness will make it incredibly difficult for him to establish himself again.

Re: Tony Clubb
An 'enigma signing' prop for me (in recent times) was Andy Powell. I remember him playing in the playoffs at Huddersfield and I thought for a late convert, he held his own quite well. Was never going to work out long-term though.pedro wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 12:14 pmthink he left the club a while agomedlocke wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 11:23 amLee HansenCheshireWarrior wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 11:18 am I don't see how we can compare Joe Burgess with Tony Clubb?

I also expected more from FPN!

Re: Tony Clubb
My point was that Budgie was a class winger and let go so now we are short in the wing area & letting Clubb go would raise some small amount towards a good prop with the money for Flower added
Re: Tony Clubb
Think club's no contract right, so you can't "let him go" at this stage unless you can find a way out of that. He's a depth player now I guess alongside Clarke. Useful backup. At some point this season, the forwards will have the injury crisis that the backs currently have I bet.
