it didn't help Clarke that Warrington tried to pull out just before he was due to sign. hardly made him feel welcome

Daryl Clark would be an interesting fit for Leeds as it would give the opposition even more headaches. They already are all trying to work out a way to stop Cutherbertson and our offloading game by putting more men into the tackle so Clark could have a field day exploiting this with dummy runs. They then would have to mark him thereby giving our forwards back the chance to make the offloads once more. It could be a win win signing well worth a fee.

Even more importantly, he is as good defensively as any other hooker out there, which tightens that middle of the field.

Yep, if we could get him back to the 2014 version of Clark then it'd be a great fit to how we are currently playing.

Clarke would be a great fuit. he knows most of our squad. Did he move across to Lancashire or is he still based in W Yorks? Get the 2014 version of clarke back and he would be a major asset

This thing about 2014 version. I am not sure Clarke is any different, it is the team he plays for that has not given him the foundation that is all.

His defence is as good as any hooker for minutes played. He makes more average gain than any other hooker in super league. He has more tackle busts than any other hooker in super league. And he has only one less clean break than Roby for example, yet Roby plays 80 minute matches.

Don't get that. If wire wanted to pull out and Clarke hadn't signed how come he ended up there?

I still can't see us getting a big name like Clarke or Farah. GH said we only have the cash left that was due to pay Aiton, if that was no longer good enough for Aiton then I doubt it would be for a big name ?.

Assuming GH was being honest about us replacing JP,KS and KL already (assuming it's Galloway and Garbutt) then who is Sinnys replacement ? The rumoured Brierly ? Sutcliffe stepping up ?.

By what B.Mac said in his interview I got the impression Garbutt/Galloway replaced Peacock/Leuluai and Sutcliffe steps up to replace Sinfield. What this doesnt explain is that the 3 leavers salaries combined would be far more than the incumbents.

GH also said we weren't signing briscoe!

I wouldn't be so sure of that statement.

I would say Garbutt and Galloway combined would be on far more than Peacock and Leuluai combined. Of course, I still think we were already plenty under the cap anyway, and Hetherington makes no mention about the losing of BJB, Bailey, and Kirke either with regards salary cap.

Mate of mine from NZ has heard that Farah could end up with the Warriors, but I would doubt it myself.

can't remember full story but Leeds tried to nip in then. remember he signed about 18 months before he left cas

Let's hope we get him then. Still don't see it

Not a chance in hell. They've signed Isaac Luke for next season. Although if Luke to NZ falls through I'll gladly take him instead.
