Many, including myself, were underwhelmed when Clubb was signed. But, he puts a shift in for sure..

After seeing Clubb play for us, especially at prop, it's easy to see why Waney signed him on a 4 year deal.

Likewise I think prop is his best position.

I said on a thread on the VT this morning that Clubb is the biggest surprise signing I've seen at Wigan for a long time and probably since Carmont. I thought he'd be very ordinary but when playing prop the bloke is a beast. He is a mountain of a bloke who hits the ball like a train and his leg drive in contact is outstanding. He's carrying defenders with him and edging extra yards.



He will need to step up these next few weeks with Flower and Pettybourne out and play more minutes. Hopefully Crosby will be back in the team this week and I've got full confidence in Taylor, Clubb and Crosby to carry the team. After that the 4th choice prop spot will be between Sutton and Dudson and on Sunday's showing Dudson will be very lucky to get a game even with the problems we have.

Gotta agree about Clubb, couldn't understand why we wanted him but he's showing me why game after game, on the other hand two players who need a massive boot up the back side ASAP are Dudson and Hughes.

Hughes and Dudsons form is making the squad look thinner then it actually is because I've got no faith in them to step up at the moment in the absence of others. Both are physically ideal for their positions but a mixture of poor skill, poor discipline and attitude is holding them back.



They both need a big game soon or the time may have come to move them on at the end of the season.

Looking like Burrow will be out, big blow for Leeds, especially considering Aiton is out also.

I didn't think Leeds looked that sparkling today, but then again they didn't need to be as Saints were very poor again. Despite their 'big' players making it back for the game!

Like the Wigan vs Saints game last week the result, imo, was never in doubt.



I've been banging on about it for a while now and I'll continue to raise it week in week out that these Saints kids just aren't that special.



Makinson especially is ridiculously over rated. He's not in the class of Hall, Charnley or Briscoe and by the end of the year he'll be behind Burgess in the race for an England spot.



Others like Swift and Jones were shown their level by Briscoe and Watkins.



Saints better pray Lomax doesn't leave.

They were in that game and leeds were rocking with 15 to go but two mistakes by saints took all the pressure off



To say it was never in doubt is way off, but leeds experience paid dividends late on against the younger saints players

There was only one side winning that match today and it wasn't Saints.



They can have them rocking all they want but they aren't good enough to see it through. Let's not forget Leeds bommed a few chances as well.

Been an awful couple of weeks for Saints. The LLS, Challenge cup and grand final trophy awarded to them by Eddie and Stevo have all been taken back and put back up for grabs for the rest of the league!



Even Walsh has been forced to hand the man of steel award back as well.

Defence wins matches and Saints defence is not good enough.



I felt before we played them on Good Friday we were definitely in with a chance given their defensive record provided we didn't do as we had been doing up till then and end up 12 or 14 nil down in the first 20. We didn't and in the 2nd half shut them out but their defence continued as it has been doing all season and leaked points.



It's OK to concede 20 or 30 odd if you can score more but come up against a side that can defend and you have a problem if that is how things are going.



There is time yet for Saints to sort this out for the play offs so I would not write them off but if they can't fix the defence they won't win the GF either.
