Sadly can’t do it anymore, physically broken. Taken so much hammer since 19/20 he’s now the oldest 30 year old in the world

To be fair to Clark, he's nowhere near his usual high standards(I'd still put him our top 3 or 4 performers this season), but its mainly down to price continually playing him when he clearly wasn't fit.

Yes he’s been good, but come on he should be Robyesk by now, it’s in him he’s a class act what’s stopping it happening??

Clarke is a different player with a big drive, fast ruck and retreating defenders. That's his one trick and he's good at it.

That was Roby’s one trick earlier on in his career. Unlike Clarke, he developed his all round game and became highly influential and one of the main drivers of his team’s performance. In my view, Clarke’s all round game just hasn’t developed, in a similar way that Micky Higham’s didn’t. They both suffer/suffered from tunnel vision around the ruck and are too reliant on a quick play the ball.

Clark isn't playing well because the whole team isn't playing well and he's not a 1 man team.
Same as Holmes is playing NOTHING like he has done consistantly at Castleford.
The whole team is disjointed and not playing well together and everyone is out of form.
Next year will be a different story and we're gonna be destroying teams, i genuinely believe that. If and a big IF we beat Toulose then i think we'll beat relegation but if we lose i think we're goosed.

If we lose to Toulouse, Powell and Sheridan will be shown the door.

It wouldn`t surprise me, if there was a miraculous change in form of our under achievers, with Marshall and Tyke in temporary charge.

They should be, if the can't pick up a single point since magic given who we have played in that time and after this week that would then include the bottom club (at home), then they aren't likely to pick up points in the remaining games either. It's not line with are inconsistent, we have been consistently bad under their charge.

Then we give Marshall a 3 year contract.
