Crikey!

I hope this isn’t true.
Wasn’t very good when he was here last time. That’s why he got moved on.

Maybe he's been assured that we are operating as a meritocracy and he thinks he can push Walker? BTW 'One Trick Mick' had a decent autumnal career with us at interchange.

We've been well served by Clarke so it's hardly like losing Sculthorpe and if we can retune and add a bit more quality elsewhere that's not a bad strategy.

To this day, I'm still fuming about the mighty Rochdale stealing the best of our young talent in Danny, from our club.

He is a decent option as a 2nd hooker... As people have said, you have to think about balancing the books.

Clark off the wage bill.. improved contract for Walker... 2nd tier wages for an experienced hooker who knows the club well.

The total parts of the hooker transfers/contracts, probably frees up considerable cap space that can be spent in other areas.

Feels like clever business from the club.

Are we forgetting how he actually plays?

Here’s my pennies worth….on Clark, Sorry thread.

I’d love to see DC here next season as much as anyone.
He was head and shoulders the solidifying of the middle unit v KR when he came on. Clark was hugely better than Walker, who also had a fair game.

Clark is 31 next season, and has two good seasons in him before he gathers speed down the cliff.

I often say ‘better to loose a player a season too early than a season too late’….However in this scenario, Wire bosses obviously got his extension contract period wrong, going a season to short.
Consequently, as his contract is now almost up, as a thank you and blessing to DC, it’s better too lose him 2 seasons too early, than offer him a matching 3 year deal as Saints have been rumoured to have done, and find we’ve had him on contract a season too long.

Well i quite agree. I still think Clark is the best hooker we have. I'm a little surprised that the majority of folk on here are reasonably happy to see him move on and are pleased that Walker will be full time replacement. I like Walker, but for me he isn't the best hooker at the club as many are saying lately. I think we're pinning our hopes on Walker too much tbh. I still think Clark has another 1-2 seasons left in him and works well rotating with Walker.

you know whats damning about this comment? it got liked by a 'Bing Bot'

that tells you something about AI, and it's frightening

Problem with that,if rumours are to be believed, is Clark wanted 3 years. To be fair for most of his time we have flogged him to death.
Question for Saints is who is going to come on to relieve him? At present looks like Lussick and they don’t seem to rate him (the coaches I mean).

Not too fussed if Dwyer is to leave us after this season. In his first game he was excellent, but then in the Leeds away game they really targeted him in defence and he was pretty poor. When you watch his game closely he goes the wrong way a lot of the time, his passing can be wayward, he scoots when he shouldn't and generally messes things up

It's fair to say that on a straight Dwyer--for-Clark basis I'm not that enthused about this.

I can see the argument for freeing up some cap space though; I'll need to see a few quality centres and second rowers signed up before I express my delight.

He's crap. We have a good young hooker in the reserves Aiden Doolan he should be given a chance.
