I agree with Simms comment, and a fit England would start ahead of him once fit as he played well in Aussie game until injured,

However I think Clark is struggling because his new team mates are not performing, , you can't question his ability, he was outstanding last season, he just needs the rest of the team to step up there game,,but he has to deliver soon

How can the Honeymoon period be over for these guys? In the interests of fairness surely both players should have their performances judged when the TEAM has shown some form and it's been patchy thus far.

Not making excuses or knocking Philbin and King because the young lads have been excellent, but, put these guys in a pack with the likes of England, Grix, Harrison and Evans to choose from then perhaps we could all be in a better position to judge

No matter how bad we are....This thread is poor...

Front page of tomorrow's League Express- "Daryl Clark to NRL?"

Any news of an exchange deal involving a half-back who can kick the ball? [hopeful face]

Cooper Cronk, nailed on.

thats next yrs news

Sorry, my Auntie's next door neighbour's brother-in-law's wife's husband's sister's grandmother went to Australia and met him in a pub. He held a door open for her, he was about 6 at the time, it was Christmas 1989. She thanked him for holding the door.

He started laughing and said 'you talk funny'.

'I'm from Warrington in England' she said

'Do they all sound like you there? I'd like to go there one day.' Replied Cooper.

So there you have it it's been nailed on for years.

And I've seen him in Stockton heath buying a house.

I saw him picking out a car at the Halliwell Jones dealership. He's signing on Boxing Day.

This NRL e is starting to do my head in, people are using this as a stick to beat him with, over something 'allegedly' said.

Well, do you really think any NRL team is going to want to sign him if he skulks around, not playing very well for the 4 years of his contract? get real.

he's not Neil Young stalling his contract out with Geffen Records (or Prince, if you want a more contemporary metaphor)

Seriously, he's a kid, who's got a lot of expectation on him, coming into a team that's struggling to find its direction in the halves, and at the moment is undermanned in the forwards and not playing very well. As Terry Newton(i think) said in his book, as a hooker, you wonder, are the forwards not playing well because he's not laying the platform, or are the forwards not laying the platform for him to play well.

Also never understood this nonsense about Clark and the NRL. If he wants to test himself in the NRL then bloody good luck to him. As stated above he's not gonna spend his time here arrising about if he wants a move.....instead he's got to kiss the badge at every opportunity and keep spouting on about how playing for Warrington was his ambition in life all along? If he had already signed an NRL contract (like Burgess) and was ambling about with his hands down his shorts then by all means have a pop...as it is, leave him be as he will come good and we're in for a treat when he does.

Clarke is a very good player. He's suffering from a lack of go forward at the moment. Hill is your only good forward currently, so all teams need to do is put three or four in on him to slow down the play the ball. Clark needs momentum to work properly at the moment as he's not developed the other aspects of his game as much as the world's leading hookers. Has he been doing any kicking at Wire?

Not much kicking saddened perhaps something he's working on, seems to be finding his feet just at the moment, I sense we are slowly trying to vary/add more to his game but it takes time he'll be fine.

is this honeymoon period still over?

Can you spell, agenda?
