With Burgess and Long now joining the Warrington circus , don’t you think you’re a bit overloaded with clowns ? You definitely need some highly skilled performers to balance things out

Not so much a calamity.
Wire had the nrl sniffing about Walker.
Walker is our future and something has to go.
I don’t really have a problem losing Clark for Walker, I would the other way.
Clark is better, but years are very much numbered.

I would wager very heavily, if Saints had Walker in their ranks, they would not be signing Clark.

Nah - plenty of room for you - come on down...

It is delicious to imagine how Burgess would deal with Dudson's 3 drives and 20 meter performance.

Nrl sniffing around walker?? That's a bit far fetched even by your standards RD!

He is however, one of the few decent hookers coming through the system. And the current England choice. I’d be gutted if we’d lost him to be developed at Saints, in order to keep a player who is very good but ageing, on a 3 year contract.

Hopefully he’ll flourish under Burgess, and be allowed to play to his strengths behind a decent pack.

I’d be surprised too, though the point stands. If we had kept Clark and allowed Walker to leave, it would be the opposite to what most want to happen, opportunities given to younger players. I don’t think keeping both was a realistic option, they both wanted to be first choice 9.

I don’t believe Saints would have signed Clark if they had Walker either.

Send him out on loan to Widnes I hope.

At the rate of 20 metres per 80 minutes, he'll have to leave now to get to there in time for the start of the 2024 season.

You sure that’s not a tad ambitious

Pity Sam Burgess couldn't have a word with them now.
