I know that there are lies, damned lies and statistics, but looking at our props this season:

Clough - more tackles than Puletua and Perry
more meters made than Laffranchi, Puletua and Perry
higher average meters gained per carry than LMS, Laffranchi, Puletua and Perry
less errors made than LMS, Laffranchi, Puletua and Perry
less penalties conceded than LMS, Laffranchi, Puletua and Perry
less missed tackles than LMS, Laffranchi and Puletua
more carries than Puletua and Perry

You can say that some of these stats are down to him having less game time than the others (less penalties, less errors, etc), but this then also highlights some of the other stats that fly in the face of this (tackles, meters made, etc)

Very happy if this news is true.

Great news if its true...

Some on here have acknowledged Clough's impressive contribution for years. The others come across as the sort who would rather have feka breaking one tackle per game than the stats you quote.

Hope the rumours of a new contract are true, very good squad player.

I've always rated him highly and, although he's never quite fulfilled his promise of 3 or 4 years ago (mainly due to injury I think), Clough is still an important forward in our setup and it's great news if he has re-signed. I reckon he'd make the starting 17 of any team in the league and would be near impossible to replace in the current climate.
