Not sure if it's already been mentioned, and it may just be a rumour, but if Clark joins Wire next year he will really improve them. I would have kept Ratchford at 1 and played O'Brien at 7 if i had been Smith, as O'Brien looks to me to be the one player who can organise a team. They could still be a threat in the play offs, but if we play as well as we can that should be good enough - a couple of years ago, that would not have been the case.

Don't think there is much 'if' about clark joining warrington next year.

its a done deal but apparently he wishes now it was not

whys that?...are Weller Hauraki, Craig Huby, Jamie ellis and Marc Sneyd, also Wishing they werent leaving Cas...?

or is it just because they aren't going to Wire? A side that recently has appeared in more finals than Salford, huddersfield, and Hull put together...........?


strange one....

From a playing point of view they probably are. It must have been the most enjoyable season of all their careers and they seem a really strong 'team' who are enjoying each other's success.

I wouldn't take it personally that somebody said he regrets his Wire deal. After this year he probably regrets signing any deal so early and would if it were Leeds, Wigan, Saints or any club.

Back to Coops, his game suits the NRL more than SL anyway.

Coops was always a tough no nonsense defender, he's a polite and articulate guy but he's alsona bit of a boxer too, not a guy I'd go toe to toe with.

Coops for me had his flaws in attack, I hated him being on the end of a crash ball or playing in the wet, iron hands.
