Clarke is a different player with a big drive, fast ruck and retreating defenders. That's his one trick and he's good at it.

That was Roby’s one trick earlier on in his career. Unlike Clarke, he developed his all round game and became highly influential and one of the main drivers of his team’s performance. In my view, Clarke’s all round game just hasn’t developed, in a similar way that Micky Higham’s didn’t. They both suffer/suffered from tunnel vision around the ruck and are too reliant on a quick play the ball.

Clark isn't playing well because the whole team isn't playing well and he's not a 1 man team.
Same as Holmes is playing NOTHING like he has done consistantly at Castleford.
The whole team is disjointed and not playing well together and everyone is out of form.
Next year will be a different story and we're gonna be destroying teams, i genuinely believe that. If and a big IF we beat Toulose then i think we'll beat relegation but if we lose i think we're goosed.

If we lose to Toulouse, Powell and Sheridan will be shown the door.

It wouldn`t surprise me, if there was a miraculous change in form of our under achievers, with Marshall and Tyke in temporary charge.

They should be, if the can't pick up a single point since magic given who we have played in that time and after this week that would then include the bottom club (at home), then they aren't likely to pick up points in the remaining games either. It's not line with are inconsistent, we have been consistently bad under their charge.

Then we give Marshall a 3 year contract.

Maybe, in the long run, but not initially.

I'm teasing. But the club usually see a brief bit of form then award/extend a long contract. We did it with Price.

I understand that, I would win the Euro Millions if I could see into the future.

Yeah fair enough. He was extended Dec 2018 after we made both finals, giving him 3 full remaining years until end of 2021. Maybe a 1 year extension would have been better.

The 4 year extension for King was ridiculous then and now.

I said since HKR home game we won’t win again, and it’s down to Toulouse and Wakefield now, I still stick by that,I’m afraid our future is in the hands of the RL gods, all wire fans should prey twice a day from now till end of the season.

Genuinely interested as to why you think that. You have lost Cooper and gained Dudson/Vaughan. If the rumours are true Wardle is coming to Wigan and you will be getting King back, Ratchford and Williams aren't going to improve, Holmes and Currie will still be starters. Longstaff will probably get bombed out. Dufty i never rated and think he will go home early judging by his comments about going to super league last season. I just don't see where all this improvement to be 'destroying teams' is going to come from. Powell keeps whining about culture etc then signs Dufty and Vaughan. The man has lost the plot.
