Well he isn't exactly helping himself by only playing 14 games a year.  He expects something to land on his plate. Should be heading off to the VPL etc to get more game time.

 

Fair point but Clapham is handicapped by lack of alternatives here. The eight team ASB Premiership has too short a season and he's only an on-off All White selection. I gather his main income is coming from a kids TV programme in Canterbury so he's not so free to spend the winter season in an Aussie state league team. That's always a bit of a road to nowhere as far as RH is concerned anyway - look at Jason Haynes and Brent Fisher at Green Gully. To catch RH's attention he has to be under his nose, week in and week out. I'm sure Clapham would play out of his skin for the Phoenix. I wish he was playing for City.

As for Krishna, I'd pick him over Tortori and I'd pick Tade over both of them.
