To be fair to Matterson, you can't rush bringing players through. Yes, Clark has had a good impact but he's still raw and young and so will have plenty of opportunities in the future. Arundel is a prime example - first full season, seems to have burnt out half-way through and struggled to regain form.

With Clark, however, I'd like to see him involved with England Knights and have them and the England team training together. He could then work with Roby who can mentor him on the way he plays. I do see him in the Roby-esque mould, though.

I think Owen is definitely our best player at full back. Remain to be convinced by Mathers from what I've seen this season.

I would like to see Clark at half back and Milner play hooker. Clark has one of the best rugby brains I've seen for a long while and think that him and Rangi would make a great combination for the next five years or so. We could build a great team around those three.

Hats off to Danny Orr though, been brilliant this season, would like to see him involved in first team coaching set up when he retires!

Clark was good last night, his 2nd half break deserved more. Owen will never score an easier try either, the inside pass from Chase was class.

Rumor has it he is not happy with his contract, like I said rumor nothing more than that. As for drop in standards?

Yes a drop in standards , do you have a problem with that second to bottom ?????
No money, a dodgy double glazing salesman that wanted a championship club and is now out of his depth, no ground to call your own and yorkcourt trying to get out of financing the scroungers a ground and Agar........ yep a vast drop in standards

Is the same Clarke rumored to be coming over the common?

Paying a fee for him then? What with him being under contract & what not.

Added to that, half the league + NRL teams want him so I doubt Wakey would be high on his list anyway.
