Josh Perry only now due back in March

Well, I did say earlier on in the thread that he was going to miss the first 6 to 8 weeks of the season, which in my reckoning is March! He'll then only be able to do 15 minute stints.

Well our season starts February 12th so with some luck he might only miss 3 or 4 fixtures (Quins home March 11th is round 5), but we are far better taking it steady and having him right from the outset of his career rather than rushing especially after how last season panned out.

I heard from someone that clough was going to be used as a prop this year anyway.
I predict a big season from clough this year

He was effectively used as a prop last year, and he did a good job there, much better than alledged props like bryn!

Check out his stas compared to, say, Andy Coley who had a good year for the pies: http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics_player.php?hs1=2010&hp1=1810&hs2=2010&hp2=420&stat=tries&season=2010 Very similar stats across the board, but with Cloughy making slightly more metres per carry and busting a lot more tackles. Discipline wise Cloughly is much better though, with far better stats for missed tackles, penalties, errors and red/yellow cards. That's in his first real season as a makeshift prop - I think he'll be a real stand out for us at prop in 2011, especially with more front line props in the shape of Perry and LMS coming in (then again, I thought he was great in 2010 too).

Cloughy ...

I think Paul Clough's brilliant.
If you've still got the Hudds play of game available, go back and watch it. Crabtree comes on and every time he got the ball, Clough took him down.

In the same game he came up with that beutiful inside ball to Wello for one on our tries in the second half (or was that the Cas game?).

Frodsham in reserve I guess.

On loan at Widnes, rather than dual registration, I think.
