Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere but I couldn't find it. Jon Clarke has been made Widnes captain for 2012. Well done - he'll do a good job for them.

He might as well get Scotty Moore connected via a rope or something. I can see those pair being good friends along with the referee. Instant penalty machine. Just add a game of rugby.

What are you on about?

Penalty stats:
Clarke:
2003 9 in 28 apps
2004 4 in 27 apps
2005 18 in 28 apps
2006 8 in 17 apps
2007 9 in 27 apps
2008 17 in 25 apps
2009 8 in 19 apps
2010 2 in 7 apps
2011 4 in 14 apps

79 in 192 apps or 0.4 per game. Hardly a big problem? It's actually a better rate than Monas - would you call him a penalty machine?

I thought the guy was on about Clarke "accompanying" Moore when the refs wanted to talk to Moore after he gave another penalty away.

Ah, right, yes now I see that! I'm so used to seeing rubbish written about Clarke I got over-protective!

Widnes will have to change from the Chemics to the Comics if they carry this on !

Nothing wrong with that SEB, Jon was a great servant to our club and gave us the best years of his Career.
