i think he comes up with a lot of good balls out of acting half that give our halves the time and space they need to set the moves up which result in the tries that we score out wide
bit of an unsung hero in my book on that score, the moves are finished out wide but they always start with a good pass out of dummy half and it always seems to me that when we score these tries it's clarke in at 9 |

I've said for a while that Clarke gets alot of unfair stick.
He is useful to have in the team, think he would have made a decent loose forward as when he runs at broken play he can draw defenders and give a nice pass, such as the one to Vinny on Sat.

I think Clarkes improved an awful lot over the past 3 or 4 years.
I never rated him at all, the amount of time it took him to distribute a ball had me spitting feathers but I definately feel he's a worthy player now.
I would have to agree that overall he's the better player

Good debate this, I think both players suit it each other very well. Clarkey the distributes the ball very cleverly, defends well and communicates with the forwards very well. While Higham, provides that good impact off the bench, makes great runs from dummy half and can exploit the holes in defence very well.
Probably one of the best Hooker combos in the league. I'd prefer not to compare them as both of them bring different qualities to the hooking position and to the side.

I don't think either of them are that great. It is also now probably the most important position in the game.

Completely agree. Look at the best teams in the league. Saints have Cunningham and Roby, and Leeds boast Buderus and Diskin. Our hookers don't compare, and like you say its becoming the most important positon in RL. |

| Quote: FireWire "Neither of them are the best hooker in the world, it says a lot about the standard of our game that either of them have played for Great Britain IMO.
However not sure a debate on who is the best is needed. Clarke is better at controlling the game, and defence, with Higham coming on later as he is more of an impact hooker. They're different type of hookers.
FWIW, I don't think Clarke should have been given a contract extension, as we are pretty much stuck with him until 2011. Someone like Diskin could come in and do a better job for us. I think McIlorum would be a good future signing if we can tempt him away from Wigan.'" what a pile of you talk diskin hahahahahahahah go away you pest |
