Would Clarke really be on that much at Warrington? Baring in mind was he not signed the year before he won the Man of steel as cas needed the money, but didn't leave until the year after.

Like I said anyone decent....Kevin Locke and Gareth Ellis are widely reported to have moved for 'mega books' .. Leeds up until the end of 2015 had a policy contrary to this and it is widely accepted that has contributed to the long unparralled team building success.

Once Leeds join the ranks of desperately trying to attract players with relative mega books (will it even be possible under the salary cap) as opposed to the better opportunities of being part of a trophy winning team (already there ) we can say goodbye to the winning team ethos of yesterday and see a similarity to the disjointed, fractious Leeds of the 1980's

The present sick man of SL would be lucky to attract such crap as Campese, Runciman and Brierley with the relative mega books.

Are we thinking Shakespeare, Dickens, Orwell, Rowling, Archer, James, Peacock?

Whoops! Fooked up there didn't I
