Quite happy with this if true......rather have him ( Or Hill/Currie) than some Aussie money mercenary coming over conning us !!!!!!!!

If true and I don't know if it is, I'm happy with it. Daryl as Marquee will be far better value and importance to our team than he who shall not be named.

Daryl is pure class.

Correct

I rate Darryl Clarke very highly but I just don't think his game is suited to the NRL. I think some NRL clubs would be interested in him but I just don't think that the jumping out of DH will be anywhere as effective as it is here. Don't get me wrong I think he would do a good job but a lot of the Hookers do 80 mins. If you watch Cameron Smith he never goes faster than a slow jog. That allows him to play the full 80 and allows the storm to have 4 forwards on the bench (a la saints over the last few years) or 3 and a utility threequarter.
NRL defences are generally better organised and on the rare occasions that there is a quick PTB then the defence is savvy enough to conceded 10 metres territory if they saw that Clarke was eyeing up a late retreating defender.
Still - all good for us.

It is a good point. NRL hookers are less dynamic and more focused on their passing game.

The difference is Cameron Smith could possibly kick a ball on a dollar from 30 metres, or make a bullet pass over 15 meters and hit a chicken wishbone.
I don't think Clark could.
