Why not make Walker captain next year and start him at 9 with Clark on the bench? Maybe controversial but he does appear to have leadership qualities and is a local lad. Could do far worse. Clark coming off the bench with Kasiano, Harrison and Mikaele would have a field day.

I would go with that.

Clark`s contract with Wire finishes at the end of 2023, and I can`t see him being offered another contract on his current rate by us.

I wouldn`t be surprised if Clark moved elsewhere at that stage.

Danny has a kicking game that he need to develop further, but he is young and should be at Wire for a long time hopefully.

I'd be happy with him as Captain, but i just don't think Powell would choose him to be honest. I have a feeling it might go to Williams or Vaughn. But honestly have no idea who he will choose?

I wouldn't care if he sent me a picture of his nudger and cooked me a burger so long as we win the GF with him.

and yet I'd say that Joel Monaghan's time at the Wire was fairly uneventful off the field?

My problem would be that we'd sign a Paul, see a Robert for a bit and end up with a Norman

We only need Vaughan to be good for next year then he can misbehave and pack his bags etc in 2024 if he likes. We need to quickly re-establish ourselves in the top half and get some confidence for 2023 and beyond and this should set us up nicely as we rebuild.

Barba helped transform Saints, even though it ended badly. Monaghan was great for us, even if Sandow fluffed it. I'll take one good year from Vaughan over three damp squibs from Austin. Maybe we need a bit of a bad boy to spice things up.

If he actually has signed (not seen proof yet) I expect he'll walk out after one year when he tries his first barbecue in the rain and wind and single-figure temperatures.

Or Chico Harpo and Groucho.

and we are not exactly shaking it off with Primrose either

Does Aunty Rico know what you've been getting up to with Primrose?
