Ryan Clayton : Sat Feb 20, 2010 1:32 pm  

I am not usually one to slag players off, they put their bodies on the line every week for our entertainment. But what doead TM see in this guy? He never bursts a tackle and can't actually tackle. The amount of times he seemed to fall around flapping his arms around made my blood boil. Surely we would be better giving a run to the younger lads, rather than sticking with a third rate player. Nuff said.

Puts in more effort then half the so called good players though, if we're going to slag players off who flail their arms about to look like they're tackling lets throw in the other 2 Ryan's and Ferres.

Been scratching for my head for years on what any coach has ever seen in him.

Must admit for years I have wondered how the hell this guy has managed to get near Super League....never seen him do anything. I have seen better academy players in your system than this bloke......

Retain Ryan Clayton (after an afterthought)........release Ryan Boyle..........why, why, why,WHY WHY !!!!!!!

Re: Ryan Clayton : Sat Feb 20, 2010 10:52 pm  

Ask Ryan Boyle, he wanted more mony than we could afford, Ryan Clayton might not be the best forward in Superleague but he's honest and hardworking and the kind of player you need in a squad, lay off him he's a Cas player and gives 100%, a grafter! He gives versatility and unfortunately TM didn't see fit to play him in the backs when needed this week, come on let's get behind the guys.

No way he'd get in another other Super League side in top 8 neck of the woods. Not having ago at him, he's just not good enough.

Re: Ryan Clayton : Tue Feb 23, 2010 7:14 am  

There are alot of national league players that are hardworking and honest.Clayton might be hardworking and honest, but there is nothing in him to earn a Super League place. Our club has too many hardworkers and no Quality.

I agree with what others have said, he wouldn't get a contract at any other SL club. He was offered a cheap deal to stay with us and that was an after thought.

Re: Ryan Clayton : Tue Feb 23, 2010 7:23 pm  

The guy is a cheap number 18 who can play second row and centre and the only reason he is playing at the moment is down to injuries.

It's not as if their is a better option.
Bringing in a Championship player would just be swapping like for like and then we could all complain about another player who isn't skilful enough.

Dropping him and a first team player and spend the money on improving that position with a stronger player? The squad is to small as it is, yes he's just a solid hard working player but on the money he's on your not going to get any better.

I would get some of our up and cming youngsters in instead clayton. surely davies and holmes etc would do just as could a job and there development would be increased.
