The guy is good in defence, has an OK kicking game, but his passing from dummy half is just one dimensional. No creativity, no taking on the line whatsoever. We have two good hookers, we dont need three, sell him on, thank him for his time and invest in a solid loose forward.

rlBack in four to five weeksrl

Along with Carvell.

Leeds at home then maybe for Carvell?

With a bit of luck

Be great to have all 3 injuried players back for the last part of the season.

passing from dummy half .....?
i'm comparing Monas higham clarke and Vinne Andersons in my head at the minute....

how do you work out Highams passing from dummy half is better than Clarkes...? plus what abouts Clarkes vastly superior kicking skills?
as Magic piano mentioned earlier his ability to "organise " the defensive line is overlooked by the "oh great look at that run from dummy half" brigade...

Clarkes a fine player and will be back in the squad no problem...

incidently Fans Favourite Danny Farrar that was on the pitch on Sunday NEVER ran from Dummy half

Clarkes passes are obvious as hell to opposing defense, at least with Higham there is an ounce of creativity. With Higham you get options and away from the markers quickly, with Clarke you get a pass to a forward or a sh*t pass to a half back who then gets Boomed.

Do you watch the game with your eyes closed?

Think you should stick to union.

Unfortunately, sometimes, with Warrington, yes

I seem to recall Farrar running from dummy half towards the railway end and slipping out a pass between a defenders legs for Forster to stroll over.

Clarke might just add that little bit of leadership everyone moans we are lacking.

From observations, Jon Clarke seems to be one of those players whose rating has a direct correlation with the raters IQ. The lower the apparent IQ the lower someone's opinion of Clarke. Its an inverse relationship to an extent with Higham. You see this all the time. Danny Lima was the perfect example. Mike Wainwright another but in the opposite way.

Spot on.

Clarke has been one of our finest servants of the Super League era. Unfussy, adaptable and constantly working to cover up his weaknesses. A calming influence on the field and the sort of player every team needs. If we get him back soon he'll be a key experienced head at the business end of the season.

in my opinion i think he has a preety good kicking game. On the comment of his passing i think he should mix it up a bit more but scooting doesnt seem to be his game. although i do remember him scooting and scoring from 40/50 metres against catalan( i think). Another part of his game i like is his support play hes usually their on hand to finish off tries

Clarke is a superb squad player and will be back above VAnderson and Higham in the pecking order once all fit. He's far better than what he gets credit for.

He's not a hooker though in my opinion he is a loose fwd who can do a job at hooker and halves when required.

My IQ quota is 132 (at last test albeit a long while since) but I cannot see clark adding anything to this present team, unless Mr. Smith decides otherwise then I will bow to his judgement
