Quote: the flying biscuit "I hope we haven't had our trousers pulled down by Darryl Clarke,
we paid Castleford £185k for him,then paid him very well by all accounts, if the above is true he will now be earning in excess of £175k per year and isn't even an International player. ( though the same can be said of our other Marquee player).
Clarke [iwas[/i top quality and has enough attributes to be a consistent top performer (despite having no kicking game) but he's not progressed at all since coming to us.
If he continues like this he will be one of the most disappointing signings we've made,
he shows glimpses of class in a game but doesn't do it game after game which is surely what Marquee players should be doing.
He didn't get a look in for the world cup (rightly so) and was streets behind 49 year old James Roby.
clearly hookers are thin on the ground as we cant replace Brad Dwyer so making sure we keep one of the few decent hookers around is good business, but is Clarke just riding the Wires Gravy train in a comfy chair....??'"
Clark has been brilliant for us. I think he has progressed. He’s just been let down by a poor pack (and I include Hill in that) last year.
