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?

TBH I'd be disappointed to see Clarke go.



I genuinely feel we miss him for his organisation when he isn't there, and feel his experience may be valuable during the next couple of years, even if this is coming off the bench at times to cover for some positions.



In terms of unplayable passes, our other two hookers are just as guilty IMO, and they don't have the versatility that Clarke does.

Myler now on for you - but I do have a day job as well



Awards night this evening - none stop Wolves

you broke him in gently there Skents and i thought you were a tiger

no chance for 1 tony smith rates him he was in the england squad before higham and 2 he has applied for his testimonial and all is getting sorted his starts as woodys ends!

Clarke is too slow around the play of the ball. No wonder defences are on us like lightening

Its not inconceivable that players may WANT to leave us now too - in contract or not.



Clarke will have seen Monas ripping it up at 9 and Higham is probably ahead of him in the back up stakes. Utility is a great attribute, but its also as much an issue.



Bridge, ditto with the signings of Myler and now, inparticular Atkins.
