I said when he signed and we’re told by hapless rads that he was one of superleagues most destructive forwards - he never broke into any team he played for
He’s played at Cas/featherstone/Halifax and Leigh before joining us and none of those teams thought he was good enough - not did he start for any of those teams
The fact the only clubs looks at him are championship clubs tells you everything you need to know - sadly it would be the same for a good few of our squad if they left they wouldn’t get another super league gig

Re: Mitch Clark
The biggest worry for me was what was KR banging on about when we signed him .

When Liverpool make a signing, Klopp does his best to downplay any expectations attached to the price tag, says it will take a while for them to adapt to Liverpool's systems and we won't see the best of them straight away.

Re: Mitch Clark
It's hard to see why his signing was based on any more rigorous analysis than
a) He had a good game against us at Cas, and
b) He was available.

I have to agree simply he wasn't up to it,sometimes it's that simple I hope though he finds himself a club soonWigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 11:37 am I’m not sure I agree that he didn’t get a fair crack of the whip as I think there is something clearly about him

Re: Mitch Clark
Honestly, I think Botica was made to look a far better player than he was by the quality around him at the time. I can’t recall a single time he put a man through a gap. Though he could kick goals (ironically, we would still have won everything with no kicker at all...).

he initially started wing and then moved to stand off, and could play a bit, plus played full back for NZ

Re: Mitch Clark
Clark didn't do himself any favours with his performances but when he was played after a long time out, he was impressive. Unfortunately, he then dropped back to bang-average and looked right at home in our forwards. Shame we messed with his career and didn't let him go to Toulouse.
We have form at doing that.

Re: Mitch Clark
Edwards hardly put players through a gap but was still great( it was gregory that did)….. i do remember botica putting skerrett through for our first try against widnes at wembleyExiled Wiganer wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 2:14 pm Honestly, I think Botica was made to look a far better player than he was by the quality around him at the time.
