Never drop a man in form.

I agree. Burrow to miss out then. Sinny at 6, McGuire at 7 and Clarkson at 13... Simples.

What's Ablett's form been like the last three weeks?

Re: Clarkson : Sat Aug 21, 2010 12:06 am  

Consistent. The lad has not missed a tackle or dropped a ball.

Ablett has been brilliant all season and is our best 2nd row forward. Burrows not even our best 7 anymore.

There is no way you should drop your proven number 7 even if his form is patchy at the moment. What if McGuire goes down injured after 5 minutes like Burrow did against Bradford in 2003. McGuire was left out and we were left with Sinny and Dunnemann trying to run through the biggest Bradford team in history.

Very good discipline wise as well although his hit ups have been a little disappointing.

Some (not me) would say he still outworked Ian Kirke.

Re: Clarkson : Sat Aug 21, 2010 6:53 am  

I will put money on kirke will play

This will be a test of McClennan's man management abilities someone has to miss out - I would Ablett for Kirke and go with that.

If Clarkson does miss out it will be a travesty and will cast doubt over McClennan's ability to make the really tough decisions.

If you were picking a side based on last night's performance then Burrow would miss out - can't see that though?
