Joel Clinton ?

The rumours thread in the NRL section notes that Clinton may be shown the door at the bronc's.

He's not exactly at the top of my list, but he would be the best experienced prop on the market if true and I would love to see him in Tiger town.

I'd have him - similiar to Skando imo, doesn't set the world on fire but he's honest.

Seriously, the guy plays f**k all minutes, runs out of puff in a heartbeat, runs at 100 miles an hour but never deviates 1cm and more often than not gets smashed.

I'd really hate to have him at the Tigers. We have much better already here...

He's terribly unfit, terribly over-priced, has no offence whatsoever. I personally rate Gibbs higher than him.

He can join a dole queue for all I care. Nothing player.

Jeez fellers... You're all a bunch o' ney-seyers and ne'er-do-wells on this one... I've never really watched Clinton that closely but I reckon he'd go alright as a Tiger. If the price was right, I'd have him in the front row coffers, squabbling for a bench spot with Payten and Skandalis.

If the price was two pies and a coke per game.

We've had enough of blokes who can't get the job done and Clinton fits into that category nicely.

If we're looking at Brisbane players and their surname isn't Hodges, we're mental.

Are you trying to funny? Because I can immediately think of two ways you might possibly be joking... and that's before I even look at his position and wonder who would be making way for him.

"Clinton" and "getting the job done" are not phrases I would often place in the same sentence together... But I think the problem is that he's been given the wrong job. Or at least, he's got the wrong profile... Thus, he comes at an inflated price. But if we could get him for a decent price as a second stringer, he'd be well worth it.

I'd be surprised if any team other than Canberra offered him a gig that even remotely resembles his current role at the Nags. (With the possible exceptions of the Rooters and the Sharks)...

I haven't watched him all that closely, but he does make pretty good metres when he runs. He hits the line hard. He might be predictable but so is Skando. Sometimes you need players just to take it straight up.

I'm never trying to be funny.

I'm only a fan yet I know exactly what Clinton is going to do every time he takes the ball up. Get smashed. He's a poor man's Martin Lang.

If he was almost free, he would be an acceptable buy for BRET.

Is it just me or is anyone else just pissed off that we'd even think about blokes who have shown they either aren't intersted, have had their time or have shown nothing?

I'd much rather us concentrate on bringing up our own juniors than signing pills like Daniela, Woolnough and Mitch Brown.
