Let's be sensible for a moment, apart from the Fev match, Clarke has been in Higham's shadow all year.

Clarke was better than Higham on Saturday as well. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Yes because Clarke got MOM and his endless runs from dummy half opened up the Hull defence, come of it.

One dummy half run does not constitute out performing Clarke. Watch it again and you will see.

Clarke has been solid with a couple of pretty good performances for me, some people will never give this guy a rap!

it is so ingrained in some peoples' minds that he is useless that whatever he does their attitude will never change haha

Going off the stats. Green indicates the comparison where Higham exceeds Clarke, and Red where Clarke exceeds Higham. Higham clearly comes out on top in terms of statistics but I guess we all have our favourites.
