We need to back up this fantastic result with 2 nice wins against Widnes and FC, play like we did tonight and we can destroy most teams, and you never know where that could take us! A nice little trip to London and a return to Manchester

He's not even mentioned last nights game, too busy chatting about how football is ripping off the fans.

So when Clark plays crap he gets abused by him, when he plays well he doesn't even mention it. Sounds about right for the guys mentality.

It's true that Clark has not been at his best at Wire, but is it all down to him ? I am not so sure. He thrives when we get a quick ptb and / or disruption around the ptb. He also does well when there are dummy runners around the ptb causing confusion and that split second hesitation that gives him the space to make a break. Tonight I would argue that Leeds were half a yard too slow for most of the match. That created space for both Clark and other Wire players to exploit the gaps.

Spot on WO.
This year the opposition knows what to expect from Clark, so he's a marked man and actually I don't think there have been too many occassions where he's had the space to do what he does best.
His defence has been good but he's just not been much of an attacking threat - or at least not at the level we all hoped for / expected.
Strangely our pack has not been so dominant so I do think that has got a lot to do with it.

Pleased for the guy and hope he can kick on from here.


Sims - he played well tonight and if the opposition target him it leaves it open for Hill to make more yards on the next drive. Keep it up!

Clarke just needs quick PTB and an unset defence to run at and he will do the best. This was shown in his break against Leeds.

Wow what a deluded fool you are. If you want to live in cloud cuckoo land and think everything in the Warrington world is perfect then enjoy it.

He's had one decent game

And the team has won 2 in 7, the form of champions? Hardly.

When there's a level of consistency in Clark and the team then I'll concede something.

Don't understand the logic in comments like this? Wouldn't every playing hooker in the game including yourself thrive against an unset defence and quick play the balls? I agree he had a great game on Friday night and gave us more of an insight into his skill set but I would be massively disappointed if we had bought last years MOS and he can only perform to a quality standard in the certain scenarios you suggest.
