| Quote: Winslade's Offload "Clark has had poor support from a very average pack this year. Asotasi played 5 minutes a half, Harrison lost his pre-season training and needs three operations, England has just not performed as hoped, Evans picked up a season ending injury, Simms has great heart but not the bulk to make yardage at prop, Westwood has been a rock but he is now 35 and showing his age, Woody disappeared before the season started, Currie has been very good in attack but is half back-half forward and lacks the grunt of e.g. a Bateman. So we have lacked go-forward for most of the season and Hill has been outstanding in carrying the the forward drive - playing in all 34 of our matches and giving 110%. With such a poor forward attack Clark has been living off crumbs. He needs a forward to break the line or get up a little faster in the tackle, anything to pull the defence a little out of shape and leave defenders a yard or so out of position so he can make a break. Think back to when we had Monas playing for us - how many times did he run directly at an (out of position) off side forward for a penalty ? For virtually all season the opposition defence have not only been set, they have had time for a cup of tea and a butty before we have played the ball. And when Dwyer has been on the pitch, Clark has also been playing minutes as well - as an extra forward.
Clark has taken time to settle. But I think next year will be a fair test of what he is capable of, providing of course we have sorted out the pack and can mix it with the likes of Saints and Wigan.'"
great post.. easy to see why our pack has been so under par this season really when its infront of you in black and white... We should be a totally different proposition next season. |

Kyle Amor is a very decent workhorse prop, Luke Thompson and Andre Savelio are both bigger than your average youth products, which has helped. Mose has won games for Saints and we'll miss him next season. He's a unique player in the world of RL, no one else is as destructive as he can be. Inconsistent, lazy and lacking in motivation? Yes, but unstoppable when he wanted to be.'"
Just out of interest, what games has he won for Saints? Most people must have missed them. |

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_74166.jpeg |

So I was right about Masoe then? I saw him up close in the Starbucks on the East Lancs once, he blocked out the sun! |

You could argue that he was a major player in the Grand Final last year. It was his ultra aggressive start that had Wigan rattled and forced the chest banging response from Old Ben. There have been plenty of games where he's come on and changed the momentum of the game. |

| Quote: BuckleyStreetWire "He's had a good season. Been our second best player. But we've not played well as a team and our ptbs can be painfully slow so his most dangerous play with quick scoots from dummy half have been far less impactive.
I think his defence has been exceptionally good and his passing has continued to improve, past what he's been able to produce in his career so far as he's had to do more of it with us (with the less scooting).
I think people just look out for his dummy half runs though and with them being fewer in number people just think "oh Clark's well gone off the boil", when he really hasn't.
He's had a good season for us. Probably our second best player.'"
Great post .......... A lot of rubbish has been spoken about Clark this season, but the above gives an insight into the true picture. In addition to BSW's words, Clark has been carrying an injury all season, he has been asked to play a more disciplined role with Wire (Cas allowed him a much freer role, often coming off the bench), and he has spent many minutes playing Second Row when Dwyer has been on. Clark remains the best English hooker not called Roby. |
