If Clarke had of been fit I would have preferred him to be in the side instead of Higham on Sunday. It was only when Higham went off that the team started to improve.

I've not been there when Clarke has been given his instruction as to what to do on the field so won't generally criticise him because for all I know he could've just been doing as he's been told. Saying that I have seen enough from him in games to suggest that there is more to his game than what people claim he is capable of on here.

You've hit the nail on the head Andy Wire. Of course he does what's he's told. Pick the ball up and let your prop run onto it. It was the Warrington style.

well a good pick off smith then as higham was one ov the only players to stand out







.p.s smith also said he should have pickt higham before moore this time round ,just the arm injury gave moore the shout ,but by god how bad was moore ,

ya reet pal

Yes - I would say that because it would quite clearly wind you up & also because you quite clearly have little understanding of the role & direction Clarke brings to the team when he plays. But mainly because it would wind you up.

Not true though is it?

So you guys haven't heard the rumours that JC is heading out on loan to a championship side to get fit then?

Dunno - who would be ahead of him? Roby, no not hit form since ridiculously getting MOS a few years back; Diskin, possibly; Hudson, about the same as Clarke these days; Moore, no chance; Purdham, not a hooker. Erm, struggling now...

Makes sense - he's been out over 6 months, let him play his way back to match fitness with a part-time outfit like Widnes while training full time with Wire.

Roby is a better player. So is Lunt at Huddersfield, for me. So is Diskin.

Roby & Lunt are different types of hooker, both more suited to an impact off the bench (possibly why Roby has been less of a player for Saints since assuming starting roles); and Lunt not yet international standard though will be undoubtedly. Diskin as I said, possibly but would be a question mark over his big game temperment...
