OMG
Ian actually wants to debate instead of making silly childish jibes
Has someone hacked into his account
In answer to your question though, have a think about where Clarke will fit in next year when everyone is fully fit. IMO he doesn't and will only be back up at best.
As regards this year its a blessing that Higham got injured (sorry micky) so that Monaghan was shifted to his best position. Clarke is light years behind Monaghan and a fair way behing Higham too. Case closed.

| If I had the choice I would rotate Clarke with Monaghan and have Higham surplus to requirements. Clarke does an awful lot of work that is very important to the defensive shape of the team. Higham is more of a pale shadow of Monaghan in style. Ergo, Higham is the odd one out.

Its important to remember that the likes of Harrison, Riley, Cooper and McCarthy have also improved the strength of the squad not just the big name signings.
Personally I cant wait to see the squad for 2011, thats going to be mega.

Interesting. I've just read the following 2 messages on Blyth's Facebook:
Quote 1. Are you going Salford next year Matty?
2. In fact, send me a message, don't put it on here.'"
Hmmmm. Maybe a loan spell indeed for Blyth

| I like the look of the squad. Although there is a definate fear that a big player/big surprise could still leave at the end of the season. I think we are one more signing away from having a complete squad.

To be fair I very rarely make childish jibes at you. All I've EVER done is ask that you stop pretending to be a woman, come out as Panties, and stop being so aggressive. The Mods know who you are and HAVEN'T banned you. This means that if you behave yourself, and play nicely, then most people will leave you alone. However if you persist with this woman stuff than I'm afraid people will continue to rip the p155 out of you.
As for the Rugby stuff, very interested to see how they use Clarke next season. They must, surely, use Monas as hooker. Clarke could do a job as a back rower if needs be and we could have certainly done with him at the weekend.

Would be cruel to let Woody go when he has already been awarded his testimonial for 2010. Plus he added a lot of value this year. Was even SL player of the month at some point.

| I'm really stuggling to see how this all works out, so actually i think TS has gone for 2 teams!! or at least able replacements for every position in case of injuries....
Mathers (Bridge/Hicks)
Hicks (Bridge/King)
Atkins (Bridge/VAnderson)
King (Grix/Blythe)
Riley (Bridge/King)
Myler (Monas/VAnderson/Clarke)
Briers (Monas/Myler/Grix)
Moz (Cooper/Neal)
Monas (Clarke/Higham)
Carvell (Wood/Harrsion/Westwood)
LAnderson (VAnderson/McCarthy/Solomona)
Harrison (VAnderson/McCarthy/Solomona)
Westwood (Vanderson/Harrison/Grix)
Higham (Clarke)
Cooper (Neal/Harrison)
VAnderson (McCarthy)
Wood (Neal/Harrison)
I'll probably edit this after I've thought about it!!

I'd have one Harrison in the first 13, rather than one on the bench and one as back up. That's how good I think he is.

| Must say you do have a good squad for next season, competition for places will keep many so called "stars" on their toes.
IMO for Myler to be a class signing he needs the attitude he had at the start of the season - he was sensational. Then IMO he started believing the hype surrounding him and laid back and inevitably went poor.
Atkins a potentially great signing, he has all the skill to be a great player and I think Tony Smith will get it out of him.
Solomona a big risk but at a small cost so I can see the sense in his signing.
I can tell you that there are many people green with envy around the RL World (for the record I am NOT one of them)

Nope - I'm not envious of Warrington (regardless of my tongue in cheek sig). The money you have is through a very rich owner and years of sensible financial handling.
You finally have a great coach to coach what on paper is undeniably a great team.

Next season really looks to be an exciting one due to the fact that teams look to be closing the gap on Saints and Leeds.
Wire look most likely to break them if they can take the back end of this years form into next season(bar the past few league games) and with Hull KR and Huddersfield looking just as strong if not stronger(especially Hudds with Gilmour, Drew and Fa'alongo) then this season thats at least 3 teams capable of getting close.
I also feel we're not a million miles off if we could get a quality prop in. In Tomkins we have a genuine star man and then the likes of Prescott, McIlorum, J Tomkins and Mossop are improving hugely as the weeks go by and they're backed by consistantly good players in Leuluai, Carmont, O'Loughlin etc.
Hull look alot stronger as do Bradford if they can hold onto Burgess and Wakefield have made a couple of shrewd moves aswell.
Bodes well for a cracking 2010 which i think superleague needs tbh. The past couple of years haven't been the best due to Leeds and Saints being miles away from the rest.
