| He was no poorer than Briers & Monaghan (x2 actually).
I'm just not sure what he is anymore, I can't knock his effort & commitment to Warrington, and I love the fact you can throw him in at any position and he'll have a dig, but I don't see him as a specialist anything anymore. He looks ineffective at hooker, lighweight in the pack, he's not a halfback.
Briers looked lost today, I think because Monas looked lost, he sort of takes his lead from him now. It's the quality of ball he gets from Monas, the plays are set etc, he looked the same in the Catalans game.

Their is only one thing on this thread thats pathetic and thats your love in with Jon Clarke.
He's started 2 games this year and prior to him starting a game we've gone from being in great form without him to looking like a shadow of our former selves when he starts. When we were struggling away at Huddersfield and we needed some spark from the bench he came on and just made things a whole lot worse.
No it aint all Clarkes fault but you get the feeling that when he starts he drags us down down to his own level, you can't have him in any key position as he'll just slow things down, as a team we like to play fast flowing RL and his basic left and right passes can easily be read in the next county.
The game has moved on a lot since he was a capable player, he aint quick enough in anything he does to compliment our fast flowing style.

I'm a big fan of a fully fit Solomona thats on his game as he's probably one of the best "if not the best" in the world at what he does, i said a while back that he should be rested and also something should be done with his fitness and physique.
Its getting to a stage where his body size is moving towards Paleaaesina levels, players will probably start to run at him like we did with Paleaaesina and expose his lack of mobility.

| Solomona hasn't had a good game all season. Keep waiting for him to fire, beginning to think it might not happen.

And the same thing you have written for five years.
He does what he's always done. He moves the pack forward when he is hooker, he plays it simple when he's at 7.
He's not as good as Monaghan and he is struggling for form at present, but he could win us the GF and you wouldn't give him any credit cos he didn't scoot like Higham.

You can't have been watching Warrington much this year, he's been a standout player for the Wire this year!

I'll give any player credit that deserves it just like ive given Jon Clarke credit in the past but you choose to ignore that.
Like i said previously, the game has moved on a lot since the days that Jon Clarke's simple game was effective.

Sorry but Clarke doesn't take anything forward when he's at hooker, he passing and movement are so predictable, when he touches the ball it's like someone as turned slow motion on, he's been a great servant to the club, but he is nowhere near good enough now.
I can take a player having a bad game, but i can't remember the last time he had a half decent game.
I like Sol but it's frustrating watching him, he really needs to get back into shape as well.

| Yet some posters on here would rather have Clarke over Higham.

If standout means make lots of errors, then yes you are right.
Could have sworn our real standout performers had been Westwood, Monaghan and Hodgson.

| Settle down boys...
Solomona and Clarke have had a dreadful year. There is very little to be said other than that. If either get another contract it will be surprising. Solomona is the biggest waste of cap space in the league in my opinion. HE has provided nothing (0) positive in either attack or defence in the many times I haven't seen him this year.
Williams let in the decisive try by just going for a morning jog instead of a sprint to defend. It was bad, but he is still a great winger. He WILL improve.
I do hope this is the last time we lose and Clarke becomes the star on this board. He wasn't even the worst on the field today. Some people need to grow up. We lost AS A TEAM. When there is talk of players moving on, all the Clarke haters can suggest his name and suggest why. Not after we have lost. Talk about kicking you, me and him while down. We don't need it.
