I credit what Matterson has done in the years he has been here, but this is one little gripe that i have with him. Imho, and i know they play different positions, Clayton does nothing for me at all, i just cannot understand how he gets in the team week in and week out

It's mainly due to injuries and a small squad size. If we had a fully fit squad I don't think he'd make the starting 17. But because Sherwin has been injured players have be shifted around so we have a 2nd rower in Widder playing centre. That leaves a space which Clayton takes up.

You can't have a team of 25 world beaters and for the money he's on I don't see us finding a better squad player.

Surely size wise, we would be better off playing Clayton in the centres

Then again he doesn't have the pace of Widders

Why would I care to ask him? The only thing I care about is our position in the table... which I'm chuffed to bits about at the moment. Whatever happens behind closed doors at the club is of no concern to me...

Unless we're gonna sign a superior prop, why not keep Boyle and Higgins?!

A good solid player! Good work rates. A good signing for the club!!!

It also says you are getting snitch from wakey and jackson fron the giants so it looks like you've got the better deal.

Snitch is more of a second rower and jackson aint as good as boyle.
