I'm not against Clark as a player. He's been very good for you and a constant threat. But he doesn't look anywhere near his old self at the moment and the worry is we get his 'one too many'. If we do sign him he's going to be universally criticised anyway. Whoever we get after Cunningham and Roby is going to be a relative disappointment.

Better to release a player a season early than a season too late.
I’d have liked him to have earned a 10 year gig with us, but he’ll likely get one awarded from the RFL if he moves on.

I think if he does move on, it’ll be mostly over money and he’ll leave a a friend of the club, unlike more recent departures.

I still don’t believe the rumours that he has a deal with Saints, I would have thought we were still talking with him and Currie.

An RFL Testimonial only lasts for 3 months. He’d be a fool to leave now.

Powell has effectively told Clark he is no longer No 1 hooker judging by his selection decisions recently. At least that is how I see it. A shame that the bigger pack has come at the back end of Clark’s career.

Huh?, throughout a good chunk of Clark’s Castleford career, DP used him off the bench.
He now has the option to do the same again at Wire…
If Clark can stay fit that is.
If anything, Clark starting and Walker coming on, is a reversal on the way it was at Cas.

If the Saints link is true he may fancy a tilt at a SL title before he retires.

He’ll absolutely will win it before he would join Saints.

2 points. 1)he has been using him more as loose forward rather than spelling DW.
2) the master/apprentice role has gone from this duo.

Could be worse, Saints could be talking to George Burgess like we are.

we shouldn't even be talking to him at all, if we are

Tom Burgess...

Tom Burgess = yes

George Burgess = NO, NO, NO, NO!

I doubt (i) Souths would let him go and (ii) he'll want to leave Aus.
