I would rather he transitions (for 4 years) with us than anyone else. If, he does have a get out clause in his contract lets hope its a big one

If he continues improving at the rate he is, he'll be in the NRL within 2 years, contract or no contract. He still has a lot of development in him, his defending isn't perfect and he is a little one trick pony at times. He needs to learn how to impact a game when there isn't a lot of go forward to exploit, something particluarly relevant if he wants an NRL move.

Great signing for you guys.

Top player.

I watched him in that four nations and what I noticed was the fact that he's not just some sort of scooter hooker that's possibly been labelled at him in the past but he's also a very fine scheming type hooker. He was always looking to get people in to gaps but obviously takes an opportunity to test the line if it's there.

He'll be at Wire for at least 2 or 3 years and probably more. Wire like Leeds seem to be able to hold their players. It's a good job because I'm sure every club in the NRL would fancy Clark and Chris Hill right now.

That's most likely because Wire and Leeds haven't had many players good enough. Ellis went but Peacock is the only Leeds player the NRL would have wanted and he was already past his best when the NRL woke up to SL players as a concept. I can't think of any Wire players before Hill and Clarke that would have interested the NRL. I think if Harrison kicks on he'll be a cert for interest as well.

So Mike Cooper hasn't gone to the NRL then?

Atkins and Ratch had interest to name two.

I must be the only one who has a strong feeling he's just in transition to the NRL

Doesn't everyone think that?

Besides, as long as he stays in RL I do not mind that any player leaves SL to go to the NRL. Playing at the highest level in our sport should be everyone's aim, and on the way to getting there you will have to play well in every game to earn the right. So his time with us could be very special indeed.

Until SL gains some actual decent sponsors and investors and we extend the salary cap, we will always lose players. But as long as that is only to the NRL I'll be happy enough. Just can't abide turncoats going to other sports.
