that's why we have a salary cap?
the sky deal will enable us to spend the cap as well which we haven't don for years
that's the reason why I think we are doing well this year as we have been able to afford a deep squad
so people like Owen Gilmore etc. who were shoe ins with our thin squad have now been found out and been shipped out.
I think the competition for places has got everyone firing this year
Also we have a far better coaching set up since Millward fooked off

The same reason Micky Mac will be for the semi and final.

Would love to see clark in a warrington shirt next season, but if he wants to stay at cas then fair play to the lad. However, i hope you win your semi because you'll need the wembley trip to be able to pay back the money we've already given you for him.

how much money £1 £5 £10 since your so in the know
Rumors Rumors Rumors
but if he does go im pretty sure his fee will have gone up now he is in the England set up
£500k should cover it

lol

He doesn't want to go to Warrington, but Warrington have already paid for him. So Cas will have to pay them back, which they can't do (maybe they can if they get to Wembley). If Cas can't pay Wire back their outlay, then another West Yorkshire club that Clark is willing to go to will. That's what I've heard anyway.

and I've heard billy slater is tired of winning all the time and has decided to go to Salford under the promise he gets payed £5 a day and can have a horse named after him

the thread was strated as 1

I was until I saw Hiull fans posting on here and realised how lucky we are

Yes, between the performances of McIlorum and Clark today. Their medal tally is irrelevant.

was a fishing thread starter so love off

It wasn't. It was an attempt at a debate re.two potential England hookers.

You are obviously struggling to deal with today's setback so I can understand you taking your frustrations out on me. I hold no grudges my friend.

Your Saturday nights are buzzin' aren't they?

They vary. Tonight I'm relaxing at home with my better half, glass of rum and coke in hand and some light entertainment on the box. It's quite enjoyable.

Now I can only assume that you're implying I am somehow missing out on something with regards to my Saturday night as I am posting on here. If so, how is your Saturday night going, given that you are also posting on here?

That's already happned

OK, who has left the fizzy pop out for the kids to drink!!!

After your statement earlier today that you hadn't had a drink for a couple of week go easy on the Rum, I have just got home after my 3 pints of mild and done a dangerous thing . I have got a bottle of fridge out of the bitter.





Going back to the thread McIlorum v Clarke, I think Clarke looked far more dangerous with ball in hand today.

Haha I'm only having a couple. Just finishing what I had left in the bottle from a few weeks back.

Clark was excellent today. To be honest I've never fully "got it" with him until recently. I'd heard the hype but for whatever reason never fully realised it myself. But he's been very impressive recently and McNamara has a few tricky decisions to make. For me Roby is still the best in the league but Clark isn't far off at all and will no doubt overtake him in the next couple of years.

It's hard to compare Clarke and Micky Mac as they are completely different types of hookers. Same goes with trying to compare Roby and Micky Mac, it's not really possible as different style hookers.

Micky Mac is more of a passer of the ball from acting half, works hard, aggressive and is a enforcer which obviously fits in at Wigan.

Roby and Clarke are more the running type hookers so stat wise they will be massively up on Micky Mac but that's not to day they are playing any better as stats are mis-leading.

IMO if all the three play to their best ability then Roby walks it, he's by far the best out the 3 and arguably one of the best hookers but has been poor this year by his standards.

Based on this seasons form from the games I've seen, I think Clarke has been the best out the 3 with not much in it between robes and Micky Mac.

I'd agree with most of that.

I know you say stats are misleading but the work Roby gets through is superb. He has set a ridiculously high standard for himself over the years and because this year he has fallen short of that, people assume he has been poor. He hasn't, he just hasn't been as good as we've seen him in the past. The truth is his 80-90% is still better than most other's 100%.

That's why I quoted "poor by his usual standards".


I think Micky Mac fits wigans game and Roby does with saints. Micky Mac would look very average in the saints team as we rely on robes to make runs from dummy half where Micky Mac can't do that.

So to sum up, both Micky Mac and robes suit their own teams style of play.

I agree with that too. McIlorum can't create something out of nothing and break a line and Roby can't run round showing how big and hard he is.

I don't think you can use today to judge Micky Mac, he clearly wasn't fit. Clark had a good game and has always impressed me.

Clarke has 9 times more tries, 4-0 assists, 50% more tackles, twice as many marker tackles, less missed tackles, 6 times more tackle busts, twice as many carries, 3 times as many metres made, twice as many average gain, 15-2 clean breaks, than a one-dimensional poor man’s James Lowes. The fact the pies are moving the OP away is it is as obvious as the perm on O'Mistakes head.

Clarke has 0 caps and 0 medals

Any more stats?
