Phil Clarke team of the year nominees! : Thu Sep 07, 2017 1:44 pm  

It's not the fact we only have three nominees that shocks me (I thought Clarke might not include us at all) but the ones he's picked seem to be random. While MCB, Lyne and Ashurst have all had good years, have they been our best three performers? Where is Grix, Wood, Tupou, Arona...I could go on. Also, how the hell have Warrington got the same amount of nominees...it's things like this that prove Clarke is turning into the new Stevo! http://www.skysports.com/rugby-league/news/12532/11023843/phil-clarke-has-picked-his-team-of-the-year-nominees-vote-for-your-favourites

He tipped us to finish bottom this year, his opinion means squat.
Can't even be bothered to click the link TBH

I like MCB but he hasn't even been the best winger at Wakefield this year let alone in Super League.

I know. I was just scoffing at it. He's lost the plot that guy

How the hell do the likes of Westerman and Hiku make his list.

Hiku's only played in eight games for Warrington, and Mamo can't have played much more with his injuries.
Wildthing has the best idea.

That poll is such a load of cobblers it discredits Clarke's already shaky reputation.

I suppose we should be grateful we are getting a mention. As mentioned - MCB has done OK but not our best winger this season. Lyne has come on leaps and bounds, but still wouldn't pick him as a stand out. Ashurst deserves his recognition though.

Exactly, and no mention of Grant Millington who many are tipping for MOS.
