Yes. Matt King was offered a position but chose to stay at the Roosters and is assisting Madge at NSW. I've not heard anything about Sinfield.

Sinfield was a rumour because Burgess met him for coffee to catch up. Nothing more in it IMO.

It would be a pity if there's nothing in it. If we got a person of Sinfield's quality, mentality and experience on board, I would start to believe that we were serious about turning things around, and that we might even succeed.

Yes, it was a choice between Clark and Walker.

If Clark had stayed, then Walker would have left..

Walker wanted to be our 1st choice hooker and Clark wasn`t ready to stand aside, as his backup.

Neither wanted to fight for their place? Did they want assurances from the club that they would be picked?

I'd be gobsmacked if anyone ever was given an assurance that they will always be picked. It doesn't happen.
