I believe we have signed Kiwi Mitch Clark from Doncaster, I know nothing about him. Doesn't anybody know if he's any good

Watched his youtube highlights yesterday after you mentioned him in another thread. Looks a unit.

Was told about this a while ago. He's meant to be decent, but hard to know in a Doncaster side that have been poor all year. He's a Kiwi so don't know where that works with our quota spots.

Signing off the back of YouTube highlights? Have we learned nothing?

And signing a player from the team that finished bottom with 1 win all year? Is that really the caliber of player we should be chasing?

Doesn't exactly scream 'Preparing for Super League' does it?

As for the YouTube highlights, I assume that someone has actually been to see him play! I mean, Doncaster is a bit closer than Queensland...

Trevor Clark's son! Born in England.

I didn't know that

Not seen him or his highlights reel but sounds like another player that we hope will make the grade rather than anyone with anything like proven ability at SL level.

I can understand us not being able to attract the best players but we need quality if we’re to ever go up.

That agent has talked us into buying some right sh!!!!!tE recently.

We'd do well to keep on his good side - he represents a lot of our better players!

Which agent

Dont really think you can read too much into that, Cas signed McMeeken, Solomona, and Cook from London. Plus also Luke Gale froma relegated side and look at the season they have had

Gale just won goldthorpe medal too. Sometimes a player just doesn't fit in a team and needs a change to reach their potential.

Gale fitted in very well to our team. It wasn't his fault that most of the time his training consisted of having to do backward shuttle runs, being repeatedly hit by two punchbags while taking a pass, and kicking while being knocked into a backward somersault.

NO scrum half can shine behind a constantly mullered pack that is giving away ground all day long. I am not saying Gale is the world's best, but he always had class, maybe not absolutely top class, but he was always more than good enough for us. We let him down, not the other way round.

I don't see any changes to Gale's game. His style is instantly recognizable from when he was with us. He just gets the ball in some space much more, and going forward.

Exactly FA. Gale was playing behind a well beaten pack when he was with us apart from the ill fated 2012 season when we finished 7th before the points deduction.

I actually thought 2014 was comfortably his best season despite what was happening. Perhaps because there was nobody else left, he seemed to mature and take as much responsibility as could possibly be expected in the circumstances. In 2012 he was hit and miss and in 2013 he was either injured, fed up or both.

Does the same apply to all those who said don't sign Sammutt, he has too many quiet games. Was this to do with the fact he was playing behind a beaten pack?

Sammut would have had a field day in this division with our team i think

We have Gaskell and Mullaney. If we had Gale (or GOB come to that) there would be no place for Sammutt.

The issue is there's been long periods of the season and most of the middle 8's where we haven't had any of them. GOB??

Anyone who saw him score 25 tries in 2013 will tell you he's grade or four above Purtell and Siejka.

Presumably he has been signed so that we can send him out on loan and then release him three quarters of the way through the season.

lets hope we have managed to secure GOB for next year hopefully not in a deal with Gaskell going the other way.

I wonder if that has been put to the Bulls yet, but if Warrington are releasing GOB they shouldn't have a say on where he's going. Let's hope that swap deal isn't on the agenda

Wolves signed/retained Sandow, Gidley, Ratchford, Wheeler and the youngster Patton. Where would Gaskell feature amongst that group?
