Apparently turning down NRL interest. Great news

.

Daryl signing an extension is great news for our club.
Daryl is class and I am chuffed he is with us for the next 4 seasons.

Great news for our club, following Hilly and Ben Currie signing long term deals.

Didn't you hear this predicted from somewhere a few weeks back?? [Whistles
Thank you and goodbye Mr Sandow.
The best gift you have given us.

As we all know contracts mean nothing these days. All it means is that if anyone wants to sign him it will cost just that bit more

Great news, think he will have a big season this year.

This is true.

So contracts mean quite a lot.

Rugby league clubs don't tend to be that cashed up, so there's a big difference between a player being available on the transfer market for £200k, or being a free agent.

And also it does mean the club can refuse to sell. Although people say well if you have a disgruntled player he won't play well anyway, if a player has more than a year of his contract and he is playing the game of "I'll just sulk and play badly for however many years till I'm a free agent" he may find that when he is a free agent the world has moved on and he's not the hot property he was a couple of years ago.

Clark knows that he has reduced his bargaining power in terms of wanting out by signing for 4 years rather than say 2, so most likely he has looked around and thought Warrington is the best option.

Its an NRL way that they don't pay transfer fees now as it goes on the salary cap, hence why no-one would take Hardaker I believe. Cronulla made a statement about it not long back.

Has plenty of time to try the NRL when this contract ends. Will still be only circa 27-28

It means the club hold the cards really. I doubt (especially while Smith is in charge) that we would stand in the way if a player wanted to leave for the NRL. But it gives us the security to find a replacement before we let him go, and to negotiate a buy back agreement if he wants to come back.

Smart move, great for the club and the competition.

We have signed up the best hooker in the league. There is no one else I would prefer. Perfect age as well.

Is that true? I had a look around but could only find articles confirming any transfer fee paid to Sam Burgess by the Rabbits wouldn't count on the cap...?

great news! brilliant player

I honestly thought he was gonna go to the NRL. One of about 3 players I enjoy watching in SL so well done on Tying him down for a few more years

Regards

King James

Hope he didn't sign it too loudly, Steve Diamond might have heard it...

Your new marquee player apprently, good re-signing for Wire and SL.

Eh!!!! News to me not heard this.

Quite happy with this if true......rather have him ( Or Hill/Currie) than some Aussie money mercenary coming over conning us !!!!!!!!

If true and I don't know if it is, I'm happy with it. Daryl as Marquee will be far better value and importance to our team than he who shall not be named.

Daryl is pure class.

Correct

I rate Darryl Clarke very highly but I just don't think his game is suited to the NRL. I think some NRL clubs would be interested in him but I just don't think that the jumping out of DH will be anywhere as effective as it is here. Don't get me wrong I think he would do a good job but a lot of the Hookers do 80 mins. If you watch Cameron Smith he never goes faster than a slow jog. That allows him to play the full 80 and allows the storm to have 4 forwards on the bench (a la saints over the last few years) or 3 and a utility threequarter.
NRL defences are generally better organised and on the rare occasions that there is a quick PTB then the defence is savvy enough to conceded 10 metres territory if they saw that Clarke was eyeing up a late retreating defender.
Still - all good for us.

It is a good point. NRL hookers are less dynamic and more focused on their passing game.

The difference is Cameron Smith could possibly kick a ball on a dollar from 30 metres, or make a bullet pass over 15 meters and hit a chicken wishbone.
I don't think Clark could.
