Chris Joynt mkII

Nothing like Chris Joynt.
Chris was a wide running 2nd row who was a great defensive player

Cloughy is a straight down the middle prop.

He shares more in common with Andy Platt in terms of plaaying style

Clough is streets ahead of Graham this year in terms of a possible player of the year vote.

Graham has been looking jaded lately and a pale shadow of the player of last season.

He's looked jaded recently because he's been superb for the 1st half of the year. He's well ahead in terms of yards made and carries.

Cloughy has been brilliant though, he's turning into a fine forward. I think in 2 years time he'll be a regular International.

The two words I said seeing the title of this thread.

He could be up for a club award. Maybe Saints player of the year? My vote would be for Jammer but Clough can not be far off.

JG has been Saints' 3rd best prop this year

TP, MF then JG.

Spends too much time pretending to be a halfback. Needs to get back to last years form or is in danger of turning into the so called worlds best prop that is at Wigan.

TP you could argue, but Maurie? Are you having a laugh pal?

Jammer's looking tired at the moment but he is still the most consistant prop in the league by some way, over 3000 mtrs so far, which is 500 more than his nearest competitor, England captain Jamie Peacock.

Myler is a shoe in for young player of the year. I think this is rather funny as the Pies will want to kill themselves when their young candidate again fails to pick up the gong.

Myler should and will get it and not Wigan fan will begrudge it him. He plays week in week out whereas Sam Tomkins doesn't and overall has just about outplayed him.

I'm more then happy for any spotlight to be kept off Tomkins for aslong as possible. Whilst all this with Myler is going on not much is getting said about Tomkins and thats no bad thing for him.

I also think it's rather sad that some 'fans' of which ever team aren't happy to see young talent coming through because of petty rivalries.

Wheeler, Eastmond, Ashurst etc are coming through at Saints and i hope they go on to become top draw players. Hopefully we can do the same and bring the likes of Sam, Mossop, Ainscough and Farrell through because our game needs as many good players as possible.

As for Clough he's maturing into a fine forward and i was suprised to see him miss out on England selection on form alone.
