Mate, you do know Daryl Clark has signed for Saints and we've just signed Brad Dwyer as his replacement.
Not commenting on our own recruitment until I see all the players we are bringing in, of course Clark out Dwyer in is terrible if this was our only transfer business for 2024 - but that isn't the case.
On Clark going, I've already commented on it while it would be nice to keep him on, it's likely Walker was expecting to be first choice 9 to stay and the club have decided it wasn't a good use of cap space to pay for Clark as well - I can understand that call, even if it's disappointing to see Clark move on. Dwyer for Clark is obviously not a fair comparison, Clark is moving to Saints to be no.1 hooker, we are bringing Dwyer in to spell Walker when needed. I'm not exactly pleased we are signing Dwyer, but then I wasn't lauding some average signings from Wigan as evidence of our failings. We have plenty of cap space to use and our priorities are prop, back row and centre, Dwyer is a squad filler.
