I think he may have got 2 year deal because at the time I believe that Castleford were also after him and to retain him we had to offer a 2 year deal. Cas at the time I think we’re offering him a 3 year deal.

Clubb was ok when he first came but has been poor for several seasons and personally like yourselfI wouldn’t have extended his contract even for a year that I believe he was originally offered.

You can only blame the management for that, the player is going to take the best deal he can get.

If the rumours are true and we are getting shut of Clark, Clubb and Burgess retiring on top of Navarette who is a confirmed departure it leaves us carrying very little deadwood and I imagine a large amount of cap space. Maybe we could make a play for Luke Thompson or Watts.

There is one common denominator here, the person who recruited the four players you have named. You are putting your faith in him correcting his errors and then making a sound judgement regarding future recruitment, that might be a leap of faith.

Clubb has been an excellent signing imo but his best days are gone and if he gets a good offer from a lesser club like Leeds then he goes with my best wishes

Exactly, Gareth, but do you mean Leigh or are you just being sacastic?

There should none of the nastiness about Clubb as we have seen on the website, as he has not only been a good signing but a good loyal servant of the club.

Like yourself, I wish him and indeed his family all the best in the future

I don’t see any nastiness? Just fans pointing out that his offering in recent times is crap.
You might feel crap is a harsh word. It’s layman terms for “he’s a nice fella but nowhere near good enough for a top 4 SL team”, in my opinion.

Thanks for the good times TC. Good luck elsewhere

I’d be very surprised if Leeds were daft enough to think Clubb is worth signing. It would be great for us to get him off the cap so I really hope there’s something in this but I really can’t see Leeds going there!

If the club are trimming the squad as a cost saving exercise then I think Clubb should stay for the season to add support to our younger players. If his rumoured departure is part of a recruitment for a top class prop then he should make way. It's certainly looking that way.

I'd agree with that

No, i definatly meant Leeds

If Leeds or any other SL outfit offer Clubb a two year deal then I's be surprised if he didn't take it.

I’ve got more chance than Clubb in getting a 2 year deal with Leeds
He will be with us next season
