Good signing, has Gilmour qualities of working hard etc but can tackle without getting concussed every time.
Also doubles up as a centre, why not?
Putting any chance of Lyon returning very firmly out of the question. HOPEFULLY!

Mannering would be an awesome signing

By 2010 I expect Clough to be as good, if not better, so there's no need for Mannering.

That's a very big call.

Mannering is a good player.

Dont rate him as a centre though.

It is. But not beyond the realms of possibility.

I too have big expectations of Paul Clough. I'd even go so far as to label him the next <insert great player of Monkey's choice>, but that would obviously jinx him.

"English moneybags, St Helens"

And Fien to Hudds?
Good signing, but would he block the progress of the youngsters, or help develop the likes of Robinson and Moore?
