Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "Nothing wrong with that, but let's not delude ourselves that, to Clark, Wire are merely a stepping stone in his career, so in 2 or 3 years when he inevitably jumps ship to a more prosperous environment, we shouldn't slag him off for doing so.
Personally, I'm just a little concerned about signing players who have more personal ambitions than any ambition for the club they are joining - As I said before, it appears Wire could be any side in the world to Clark, we just happen to be the ones paying the most for his services.
I agree this is probably the case for 99% of players who will sign for any club, but it would have been nice if Clark gave the impression he might actually be looking forward to playing Wire and not simply doing so to further his own career, or save Cas's board's finances.'"
Spot on, Dita's.
For me, these quotes have a worrying similarity to a certain player we had a couple of decades ago.
He started like a house on fire, and his career escalated rapidly.
I still remember reading an article about him in one of the Sunday papers (on the back of another superb performance in a Wire jersey), saying he's going to go to Rugby Union. Within 6 months, his performances (for us) had dropped a little, he fell out with the new coaching regime, and within weeks of that, he's gone to Leeds. 2 years later, he got his ambition, and played Union.
In that article, there was little mention of Warrington, only about him and his career. Step forward Iestyn Harris.
Now, from what we hear, Clarke's making the same noises, unless these interviews/articles are being HEAVILLY edited, and we're only seeing or hearing what we want to see or hear.
Let Clarke establish himself first in his new team, before we (or him) start getting a bit too far ahead of ourselves. Let's not forget, quality hookers (presumably) are 10 a penny in Oz. Over here, they stand out as the exception (Roby, Clarke...but not Cackybumbum)
