I have a fear that the NRL will come knocking for Clark, and he might fancy it. Especially if he’s overlooked for GB.
Hodgson, when in the UK, was an average hooker at the level of Tommy Lee and Shaun Lunt etc. and he gets picked time and time again. While the NRL may have improved him, if Clark was to be held on the same scale, he would be significantly better than him.
I wouldn’t begrudge him the opportunity, as he’s given his all for us and we owe him a debt of gratitude. But we would really need to find an excellent replacement if it was to happen.
