Next season would be Clark's 10th for Warrington. Wouldn't he be due a testimonial? If so, that would be a strong motivation to want to stay with us.

Roby is still going so Clark as got to be worth at least a 2 year deal, if he only gets offered 1 then he will surely go elsewhere.

Yes - I suppose 30 could be too old for Oz, but in 2025 he could still be at the top of his game. I think age is irrelevant in a World Cup consisting of 6 or 7 matches if the form is there.
I've no idea how 'highly paid' he is and I doubt the vast majority of posters on here don't, but - a bit like Chris Hill - I think he could command a decent deal - be it salary and/or length of contract - with the majority of SL clubs.

Yes, we have Danny Walker and I could imagine him getting an improved contract when the time comes, but DC is still our number one hooker imo and having the 2 of them on the field later in the game works for me.
Would I bring in a hooker to replace Daz? Well that wouldn't be my preference.

Clark is on the final year of a multiplier contract that has him as our 2nd marquee. I doubt very much he’d be offered marquee money. Any contract extension may take some time to finalise as he weighs up rival offers.

It's too early in the season to really judge who we should keep, other than Longstaff who looks as if he isn't in our future plans.

With there being only 5 out of contract and Longstaff being out on loan, there won't be that many changes next year, which is a good thing in my view, given the turnover in the squad during 2022.

Should we recruit the rumoured NRL centre and then should we need a quota spot, then the likely candidate to make way is Mata'utia. With Clark and Currie, it might come down to terms offered as to whether they stay. This may be influenced by any improved terms to any of our squad members to ward off any potential suitors, especially if we have have a successful season.

Minikin is cover, and I'm not bothered either way.

At this stage, we have competition for places, and I hope this continues as that should be enough incentive for any of the five to make themselves indispensable with good performances.

Not seen much of Aiden Doolan yet, so it will be interesting to see how he goes in our 1st team as hooker.

With Danny Walker as the heir apparent to Clark, if Doolan gets his opportunity and does well, I can see Clark being allowed to leave owing to Salary Cap constraints.

I can`t see Currie leaving, but it depends on his contractual demands.

As Powell demonstrated last season, he can be ruthless and it won`t be as easy for players` agents to over egg their demands as it has been in the past.

I think Matautia will be allowed to leave.

He is a quota player, we have Wrench who should play regularly at centre and we have recently rumoured to be linked with a NRL centre.

We can`t currently sign another overseas player, without releasing one of our current ones.

I've just watched the first half of the KR game.

Clark is playing out of his skin

Ratchford has a new lease of life

Matautia is playing well

There is a great team spirit

We are miles better than last year.

Somewhere under the salary cap

Re: 2024 Out of Contract : Tue Mar 14, 2023 7:31 pm  
im not party to how much Clark and Currie are being paid, but know enough to think that both will need to take a decent sized pay cut to stay.

My guess is there will be other clubs, waiting in the wings with better deals... So we could lose both.

Clark could have a testimonial with another year... so that could be a nice bargaining tool.... Currie will likely end up at the highest bidder.

im not really fussed on the others. The NRL centre rumoured to be coming, is probably a direct swap for matatutia

I was all for getting rid of Clark, but now I’d be pretty desperate to keep him. Maybe not marquee money but certainly a high earner. Wouldn’t want to see Clark at Wigan or Saints.
