Good signing, has Gilmour qualities of working hard etc but can tackle without getting concussed every time.
Also doubles up as a centre, why not?
Putting any chance of Lyon returning very firmly out of the question. HOPEFULLY!

Mannering would be an awesome signing

By 2010 I expect Clough to be as good, if not better, so there's no need for Mannering.

That's a very big call.

Mannering is a good player.

Dont rate him as a centre though.

It is. But not beyond the realms of possibility.

I too have big expectations of Paul Clough. I'd even go so far as to label him the next <insert great player of Monkey's choice>, but that would obviously jinx him.

And Fien to Hudds?
Good signing, but would he block the progress of the youngsters, or help develop the likes of Robinson and Moore?
