I beg to differ, I clearly remember at the time that for various reasons Robey, Cunningham and Newton all said they weren't playing for england in that particular competition and effectively that made Clarkey the only choice unless Smith went for a complete rookie.

I remember watching that series and in every single game all that clarkey did was bend over pick the ball up and play it left or right nice and simple. Smith knows his limitations and made sure that Clarkey stuck to them. He is a Hooker of very limited ability is Clarkey, I much prefer him in the pack.

And like i stated earlier i think he would do a fantastic job for one of the teams that are currently in the lower reaches of SL.

clarke is a good player but he won't get in the the team! monas is best hooker in the league and i see grix as the better utility player. so that leaves him as an impact hooker and that would be shocking as clarke play of the ball is slow the way warrington play is fast now that why at wigan they trying to slow us down as when we play quick we play well

That is what I tend to think, does Monas really need to be spelled during the game?

No credit to Warrington from Clarke . All the credit went to Bradford. He was very quiet in the second half again.

Not imo. When Higham came on our play the ball was alot quicker and controlled. I like Clarke but wouldnt put Him infront of Higham at this stage, Id wait for a drop in form. Good compotition for the place tho

On the basis of yesterdays performance i think we could certainly have done with Clarke in the squad.

Sounds like his influence around the ruck was something we were lacking yesterday.
