Clarke is nothing on monas, Clarke is slow, very predictable and offers nothing in attack granted his defence is good.

Monas is quickly becoming the heart of the team, he has a brilliant kicking game, passing is excellent, his running is the best i have seen and a perfect tackling technique.

Proved it when Clarke couldn't even get in against Keighley.

Cant seem to do anything but run up cricket scores this season can we! So I'd go with a -16 handicap too.

Our points difference, in comparison to the rest of SL, is mightily impressive.

but true!

Clarke has a better kicking game and delivers a pass better. He is also dominant in every tackle and doesn't shut up, he is always talking!

Welcome to the forum Jon

I hope Monaghan reads this forum so he can learn about the apparent flaw in his game.

Hopefully he can sort it out before it to late.

reidy_21 and The Neutral. What chances they share the same ip address?

Can always rely on the hardcore wires to put a smile on my face

Sorry to disappoint

Surely your kidding, you must be either that or your blind or on day release from a mental institute

I think you need a seperate thread for this debate as the original one has gone off track a bit.

"The Great Michael Monaghan v Jon Clarke debate."

You can't call it really ......

im not so sure about Monaghan now someone has pointed out this flaw in his game.

what would we do without the internet.

That tickled me

Saddened-esque:

Comparing Jon Clarke and Michael Monaghan is like comparing Beyonce to Heather out of EastEnders.

Ok thats not the best comparison to compare Jon Clarke to Michael Monaghan, i think you need to compare him to another hooker who he's played against for the majority of his career and is a similar standard.

How about

"The great Jon Clarke v Keiron Cunningham debate."

Ive no doubt that we'd get the usual saints fans bias towards one of their own.

True story time - i was a hooker in the same age group as cunningham and long.... they played for wigan st judes.. i played for crossfields/grappenhall..... i hooked for warrington and lancashire.... cunningham was left on the bench for lancashire or moved to 13 behind my exceptional hooking game.

so i think we can safely say im deffo better than clarke.... and possibly Monaghan.

Next Joke please.

The rain is coming = we will struggle with ball retention so that'll help Cas.

42-14.

Michael Monaghan gets over-excited when we get a quick play-the-ball and sometimes runs off without lifting his head.

Watch him, its fact

i think personally monaghan and clarke should be played at the same time with clarke Playing loose forward and sharing the dummy half role dependent on pitch position clarke on the run up with monnas taking over at the kill point towards the opponents 20 meter line

I think Clarke should play at the same time as Monas too, but for someone else.

Yeah for Saint Helens (the best team in the comp), he'd compliment Roby well.

I think I have accidentally stumbled into a strange parallel universe...somethings not quite right in this one...must wake up!!!

Was Carl Webb really good in this dimension?

At half time
