John Davidson reporting Clark for Saints too. He’s one of our biggest earners and Danny Walker appears to now be number 9.

A couple of the Redvee mob not to happy about the Clark signing, Saddened is getting saddened by the day

Sad to see him go but i think (for us anyway) he's past his best. Danny at 9 with hopefully a back up hooker would be fine by me.
Next year hopefully bring in a strike centre, or Wrench and King at centre. Doubt it with King but you never know.
Clark leaving will give us a good chunk of money to strengthen elsewhere so has a Silver lining.

Happy with McGuire and Doolan to support Walker as we badly need to use the money to strengthen centre and back row. We really do need a strong running second row and use Currie on the bench if he is retained.
As well as Wrench, a class centre to give Ashton more space is a must.
Tanginoa and Whitbread please plus Aussie centre.

I have seen it a few times on different threads that we have already signed a centre for next season, not sure who it was that said it but not seen anything on that for a good while now.

All three of the above are quota, we have Mikaele and potentially Mata’utia out of contract, to sign the above would need one of Dufty, Vaughan, McGuire, Kasiano or Drinkwater to leave…?

Yes didn’t factor that in although would like to see Riley Dean back next year to put pressure on Drinkwater. Rumour about Kruise Leeming signed now anyway.

As difficult as I find it, I think Clark leaving (assuming he isn’t willing to take the drop in salary and extended time at 13 rather than hooker which would be my preference) is the right call. Walker is ready to be our 9 long term, and I think he is capable to be a 9 for a Grand Final winning team. With an additional marquee potentially next year, we can’t keep Clark on significant money when w e need to be looking to spend elsewhere.

He’s been great, no complaints and while I hope he doesn’t have success at Saints, if he did I’d be pleased for him.

(Assuming this is all confirmed of course!)

Ok but Walker won’t win a Grand Final at 9 least ways not with us because Phil Clarke said we can’t win a Grand Final with Dufty at Fullback

Where as the Leeming rumour come from, did he not leave Leeds because he wanted the starting spot. Guess Walker would not be best pleased if Leeming as been guaranteed that.

Just a rumour at this point but he has not been picked for Gold Coast in their last two games….neither has Mikaele for that matter.
Am sure Danny Walker would be starting at 9.
