Think Morgs has to stop starting with Clinton and Vella, we are too slow with these on the park at the same time and we'd be better with one experienced prop at a time so to take the pressure off the younger blokes when they are on the pitch at the same time as each other too.
Clintons second spell against 'quins was a terrific showing and if he can perform like that all the time he'll be making the selectors of the Exciles squad wish they'd picked him!!
Clinton is average, waste of a quota spot, reminds me of Peter Cusack at Hull, there are English props who would do as good a job as him.
Ok he had a good game (2nd spell) against the worst pack in SL IMO.
Wont get anywhere near the Exiles squad off the top of my head Lima, Perry, Puleta, O Meley, Vella, Mason, Moa and Cashmere are much better props than him.
Wouldn't be shocked if Rovers don't try and release him and use his quota spot on another player.
Rovers have 5 better props than him in Wheeldon, Lovegrove, Mason, Vella and Watts.
