I'm not against Clark as a player. He's been very good for you and a constant threat. But he doesn't look anywhere near his old self at the moment and the worry is we get his 'one too many'. If we do sign him he's going to be universally criticised anyway. Whoever we get after Cunningham and Roby is going to be a relative disappointment.

Better to release a player a season early than a season too late.
I’d have liked him to have earned a 10 year gig with us, but he’ll likely get one awarded from the RFL if he moves on.

I think if he does move on, it’ll be mostly over money and he’ll leave a a friend of the club, unlike more recent departures.

I still don’t believe the rumours that he has a deal with Saints, I would have thought we were still talking with him and Currie.

An RFL Testimonial only lasts for 3 months. He’d be a fool to leave now.

Powell has effectively told Clark he is no longer No 1 hooker judging by his selection decisions recently. At least that is how I see it. A shame that the bigger pack has come at the back end of Clark’s career.

Huh?, throughout a good chunk of Clark’s Castleford career, DP used him off the bench.
He now has the option to do the same again at Wire…
If Clark can stay fit that is.
If anything, Clark starting and Walker coming on, is a reversal on the way it was at Cas.

If the Saints link is true he may fancy a tilt at a SL title before he retires.

He’ll absolutely will win it before he would join Saints.

2 points. 1)he has been using him more as loose forward rather than spelling DW.
2) the master/apprentice role has gone from this duo.

Could be worse, Saints could be talking to George Burgess like we are.

For a contract for only the rest of the season i hope. He'll need 4 -6 weeks to get fit again and there's no guarantee he has moved passed his injury problems. I'd swerve this one to be honest.

we shouldn't even be talking to him at all, if we are

Tom Burgess...

Tom Burgess = yes

George Burgess = NO, NO, NO, NO!

Doubt if we could accommodate Tom Burgess`s wage demand within this season`s Salary Cap.

Mikaele wasn`t on that much money here, so not much room to play with to recruit a high earner.

I doubt (i) Souths would let him go and (ii) he'll want to leave Aus.

The only talking we should be doing with Currie is telling him he's no longer required after this season.

There's always rumours ... But there seems to be a new one about George Burgess possibly coming to Warrington.... I seriously hope that's a nonsense one and he's only visiting to do his shopping as he makes Clark come across as 100% injury free in comparison

Halliwell Jones hurriedly removing P Sculthorpe from the side of that old 5 series and chalking*on G Burgess.
*Even they don’t think it will last

I hope the G Burgess rumour is utter cobblers as I thought these kind of signings (thankfully) were a thing of the past now.

George obviously had a word with Greg Inglis about the fabulous pension package

Yes, the Greg Inglis debacle surely should have taught us that.

What’s confusing about this Burgess rumour is the message coming out from the club was about how they going to take their time to find the right player.

Just hope it is what it says it is a RUMOUR.

I’m happy to give George Burgess a crack, been out the game 4 months is it?
Plus we’re not likely to get a prop elsewhere that’s decent. May as well take a calculated risk with the shortfall in the cap until the end of 23, see how he goes. It’s not as if we have anything to lose by it.
Can’t be any worse than Mikaele in 22, and look how he went after injury fitness woes and finding his mojo.

Didn't play for Wigan due to injury.. then retired with the same injury having played only 8 games for St George....this one needs a swerve ... He will want a payday based upon past reputation and will be out for the season after 10 innocuous mins

Pay his airfare then “pay as you play” deal. Obviously on a “per minute” basis.
