| Clark reinvented himself during his first season with us. He went from a wirey back up dummy half to a strong, aggressive defender capable of doing 80 minutes at the top level. He actually copped a lot of stick when he first signed. but this transition was underway and realistically, necessary, if he wanted to be a starting hooker for a team with any sort of ambition.
I agree, a kicking game or a Monaghan-style slight of hand/creativity would be amazing, but some of that can’t be coached into a player.
Clark (when not held together by tape) is a “play off” hooker. Intense defender, works markers hard and supports down the middle. Hodgson, McShane, Leeming, while they do have something up their sleeve, it can ofter result in a cheap turnover and completely turn the tide of momentum.
Roby was the best, probably still is in the frame, but Clark is next for me, followed closely by McIllorum. At the top level, you attack through defence. They hit and hurt, take the tempo away and start winning momentum. I wouldn’t swap him for anyone, unless Mick Monaghan has been looking after himself.

| If we start rotating Clark with Danny Walker then he will stay in top form for years to come. He plays so many minutes usually he is bound to burn out.
Had his surgeries to fix his injuries, currently on holiday and will actually have a full off season, i think it will do him the world of good.

As confident as I am that you'll be on here posting stuff on this board during the pre-season, never mind 2022.
