you on a fishing trip again ?

I think this would be more like it than him going to Wigan..... it was them that pooed on him in the first place years ago! I just heard the Wigan "rumour" from my cousin who plays in the reserves.

We'd know if Clarke was leaving I reckon.



I can't see Smith kind of 'disrespecting him' almost, by not letting him have his moment this weekend. If Clarke was to go, after almost a decade of service, he'd deserve his moment, not being ushered quietly out of the back door.



Aside from this, he's got a contract, Smith rates him highly, he offers versatility and is a big, professional presence within the squad, he has all the hallmarks of an individual that Smith likes with how he lives his life, how he conducts himself etc, so he'll be staying.

Agreed, it would be very unlikely that the Pies would sign Clarke.

Wow didn't have you down as a big Clarke fan





Although saying that you still rate Penny

He would free up a considerable amount of salary cap restraint which I think will be something that Warrington will be almost certainly endeavoring to do!

No not at all, woke too many people in Australia up with the last one

Where have I rated him ? (Clarke)



FWIW, I do sort of rate him. I know what he is, so don't hammer him for what he isn't, folk in life all have limited ability in some respects. He can't do what Monas can do from nine, so, he should focus on what John Clarke can do from nine.

Yeah like throw unplayable passes out to his colleagues





To be fair I agree that he now has a more professional approach to the game than a few years back. This degree that he has worked hard for seems to have done him the world of good. Maybe his future lies elsewhere within RL.

Maybe its because his missus stops him going out 3 nights a week now lol

When Are The 3 Player Interviews Coming On?

I could see Clarke leaving TBH. I like him for his versatility and he makes an excellent bench player. However, if the bench is going to be made up of two props and Higham, then I would prefer either Grix or Bridge (dependng on how TS accomodates Atkins) as the fourth interchange. I don't think Clarke would get a starting place in the second row or loose, so would he be happy waiting in the reserves for injuries to other players?
