No he wont Clubb is complete and utter garbage and shouldn't even be talked about playing for England let alone be in the squad.

He's not, his game has suffered from poor coaching, from being shunted between centre, wing and second-row and also from being exposed by weak defence inside and outside when playing centre this season. Once he had the potential to be a very good centre, now I think he still retains the potential to be a very good second-row, unfortunately we (Quins) need a centre so he can move to second-row, and the balls to play the sort of attacking game that would suit him.

If Clubb doesn't play then he shouldn't of been taken, why have a specialist centre if the better option is to shift others around from their favoured position

Ah Gareth Widdop, this generation's Kris Radlinski.

I’m assuming (but not sure why) that you are saying that as a derisory comment but that would be a result for England

Put Cudjoe as Centre?

According to Sky Sports it's either going to be Cudjoe or Clubb in the vacant Centre position.

I would be delighted if that were the case – it proves that McNamara is intent on picking players in their positions and playing the best team at his disposal rather than try and get the best 13 players on the pitch irrelevant of natural position

Given the limited options (Club being pants imo - Gleeson should have gone) I'd put Cudjoe at centre.

Re: widdop : Thu Oct 28, 2010 10:44 pm  

I said all along that Gleeson should have gone, but on what we've got, i'd go Clubb over Cudjoe at centre.

Re: widdop : Fri Oct 29, 2010 6:45 am  

For a centre, Clubb is a wrecking ball in attack. I have witnessed him smashing defences.

Re: widdop : Fri Oct 29, 2010 8:30 am  

Well Cudjoe is in at centre and Widdop had taken the position he should have had from the start of the tournament...left off.
