I have not seen anything from him to show that he is good enough! Defence is shocking especially under high ball!!

Re: James Claire : Fri Mar 08, 2013 10:09 pm  

A last minute replacement somewhat caught in the headlights under the targeted high kicks tonight. A tough start to what will hopefully be an exemplary Cas career.

Clare could easily be made the scapegoat today, but where were the rest of the team to help out the rookie after the first mistake? Or after the second? The lads win as a team and they damn well lose as a team too. Let's not make the stupid mistake of picking on the newbie.

No not at all I am not going by just this game, I am saying the games I have seen him play IMO I don't think he is upto super league standard yet!!

Why didn't Millward play Dixon at centre and play Clare on the wing?

I stand corrected..was told at work Clare was at centre.

Re: James Clare : Fri Mar 08, 2013 11:19 pm  

harsh to blame your wing man, he was left exposed by his centres and holdswoths' kicks were simply superb! suprised you never used the same tactics instead of using the safe option all night!

Re: James Clare : Fri Mar 08, 2013 11:50 pm  

Although he's only a youngster, he has to back himself to take those kicks tonight. Running under them and then pulling out at the last minute is suicidal and was deservedly punished with 2 tries. The knock on wont have helped his confidence either.
Am I right in thinking he was taken off at 24-0?

Re: James Clare : Sat Mar 09, 2013 2:07 pm  

Yeah they took him off, Jordan Thompson went to centre and carney on the wing

I don't think clare is a bad player ..........he is a long term project imo. What is worrying is that someone at the club rates him above , greg eden ,matthew dawson and ben blackmore.
more examples of bad business or just lack of understanding ? both seem all too prevalent at management level at cas.
