Neither is Solomona, yet he is hailed as a god everytime he comes on and is greeted with that dumb chopping motion with the hand.

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union. www.squadbuilder.co.uk:1883.jpg



Quote: Ian 77 Redux "I think Lefty G's point here is getting missed somewhat. It's not 'why single out Clarke' as much as it is 'why single ANYONE out but if we are, why it is ALWAYS Clarke'. I couldn't agree more with that. I suspect Clarke gets slammed because of the things he doesn't do - it's not his fault he isn't James Roby. The only person who could be criticised for that is James Roby. And he is nearly always James Roby - except on weekends when he dresses like a woman and calls himself Susan.*

*not really. AFAIK anyway...'"


Suzanne, actually.

Quote: lefty goldblatt "Clarke is ALWAYS the one, who certain people will go for. He's the easy target. It's like the fat kid in the playground for the bully.
When the thread started, I was wondering why there was Clarke bashing for this defeat, then EUREKA. IT'S CLARKE, HE'S AN EASY TARGET, AND SAVES THE "FANS" ACTUALLY LOOKING WHO DIDN'T PERFORM.

Quite simple, really.'"


Why do you think people focus on him? Is there not a grain of truth in the fact that he is not a top 4 SL player and it shows? One of Cullen's bizarre, crazy 4 year signings. Actually will he be the last of the PC signings unextended by Smith? (i.e we will soon have a squad of players whose contract was agreed by Smith?)

Tony Smith: "I thought the fans really made the difference on Sunday. At times I looked at the South Stand and thought WOW those guys are rocking in there, I like that.":35453.jpg



On current form and fitness (with regards to Solomona) I wouldn't bother negotiating either of them contracts for next year. Ratchford and Puletua to replace them please Mr Smith.

I could name a load of Huddersfield players who wouldnt get near a wigan, saints, wires shirt, and are never ever going to be called world class but they sit at the top of the league because they have players that "do a job."

Interesting that Joey Johns talking about Gareth Widdop last week said "He doesn't over complicate his game he does the simple stuff and lets the star names do their stuff".
I often think Clarke is asked to do exactly that "don't overcomplicate things ". Which is exactly what we didnt do when he wasn't on and we looked bleedin ridiculous.

Has anyone pointed out any errors he came up with or are we just going to go with the "he ain't no James Roby" line.??

I just think the job Clarke used to do for us (if indeed he did do that) has become redundant as we have become serious title contenders and moved on a level in class.

Anyway it's simple, if he was truly valued by Smith, as Johns speaks of Widdop, he would have been extended by now, but he hasn't been and is unlikely to be. We can read into that what we wish.
