And you know that how?

Also, the PA, the company secretary, the cleaner and the milkman are not bosses. As a director and shareholder, Clarke is. It's also called corporate responsibility, and hypocrisy given his status within the media side of the game. He has a direct financial stake in the success of the Solomona deal, which is different to that of an employee.

I dont. But neither do you and the rest of rlfans who are thirsty for his blood and that hasnt stopped you has it?

Please can you explain the "conflicts of interest" that arise from being a TV commentator and a Director/Shareholder in a limited company

That's the one thing I agree with you on. Commentating on a game has nothing to do with being a players agent.

His company represents certain players who play in Super League, he can have a material effect on their perceived value by actively highlighting (on the games biggest platform no less) their strengths and influence on the game and underplaying any errors whilst simultaneously doing vice versa to players not represented who his players could replace.

It's really not a big leap.

On the Steve Diamond situation, am I right in my understanding that Denny Solomona is now retired from Rugby League having resigned and been sacked? Why not go the whole hog and kill off the character Denny and have him replaced by his identical twin brother Benny

Indeed. Thats exactly how clubs measure a certain players market value/wage, by Phil Clarkes commentary.

Indeed. No worse than coaches being on Sky talking about players

I just can't wait for Sky's first game at Cas - should be a tasty atmosphere.

But then did commentary for BBC Five live and Radio Yorkshire. Maybe radio humberside just wanted to get rid which is a strange one as he always came across well on the radio
