Are we that far off?

Mate in 2013 those exact words were being said about Clydsdale :lol:

by who?

by who?

Don't care enough to go through the pages but I know for sure there was plenty of posts having wraps on him and considered him our long term solution. But if you are so sure then go a head, prove me wrong ;-)

I feel like Clydsdale is kind of like Scott Dureau. In that he has the tricks and tools, but doesn't use it often enough and is physically not up to NRL.

Wha? Hes been fine physically, he just looks to be a bit on a leash and has not been given many minutes due to the Gidley/Sione bullshit

I really dont get the critisism of the bloke. He will be a good FG hooker at worst for us in the years to come

 

[Allstar Knights]

Clydsdale can actually tackle for his size.

Clydsdale is fine physically, though Levi is a beast

The issue isn't about what cattle we lack.

The issue is always about attitude and composure. Things we've struggled with since Joey retired.

There is no coincidence that our two most experienced players are so mentally weak, they can't control a game nor build pressure even after a combined 400 plus games.

Mullen in particular is the greater disappointment as he has the better skill set but just doesn't improve.

I mostly meant with fitness and speed to dart out of dummy half.

There is many times where he is buggered before getting taken off.

Yup. Wondering how many here have watched Levi play.

Clydesdale can tackle and pass, yes. He is still probably the worst regular starting 9 in the NRL at present... no running game at all.

Levi can tackle and pass, has a short kicking game, and is Isaac Luke style lethal out of DH. Dude is a beast.

 

[Whats Doing]

Clydesdale has as much speed as his name.

The days of hooker who don't possess speed out of dummy half are gone.

I mentioned about 3-4 years ago about a hooker for Wynnam in QLD Cup who we should be seriously targetting as he was destroying them at that level.

Took at a little bit longer to make the NRL grade but is now one of the better hookers going around. Scored 3 tries tonight in a man of the match performance.

Granville back then would have cost peanuts.

The knights really need to have scouts everywhere.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Granville was playing lock for most of his time at Wynnum but I do agree, he was worth looking at and I was shocked the Broncos let him go

We had Bedsy and some good juniors back then so i can understand why the club didnt look at him given his inexperience
