Awesome news and a must signing.
Love him or hate him he's a top brit and will put up points.
Does this mean he will not be captain?
Janssen for captain for me.

Clarke isn't allowed to be Captain, according to the rule book! Happened to Ashley Tait too. Brad Moran would be my Captain, or at least Alternate if Schmidt hangs them up.

Cam has to be captain the guy oozes passion. Put him as captain and watch him fire up our lads! Sets a good example too yeah he is an enforcer but how many bans did he get?

I'm happy Clarke is back. I am sure the people around me in block 5 won't be!
Maybe the coaching role was want took the time to deal with this season.

Fantastic news. A full season of a fit David Clarke = Goals. He can be streaky with his goals and sometimes appears to shoot like hes aiming at football goal, but he always has a decent number come the end of the season.

Phew! We looked like we'd be in trouble if we didnt get him.
Great news for this season but we need to be lining up a long term replacement in the next couple of seasons.

Given departures and the availability of British players, he was essential this year.

It'll be interesting to see Clarke without the 'C'. I've never been a fan of him as Captain, didn't seem to have much influence on anything or anyone (highlighted by seemingly only being able to produce when lined with Myers last season).
Can't argue with his product when it does come together but for me he's too much like Chris Lawrence - a character I can see this team embodying... Unplayable and explosive when good, lazy and feckless when bad in equal measures.
Good news on Strachan & as things stand I'd like to see Cam get the 'C' next season.... But that depends who else is to come in I suppose.

One of them won't even celebrate when he scores. Bewilders me! I've encountered a few moody folk on that side of the arena, I sat at the top of block six for a few successive games, if I moved during a match its once to get a beer and it's always in the second period break. The same guys would give me a stare as though Id kicked their dog as I politely asked them to move and then thanked them for doing so both when I went down the stairs and went I returned up them. Oh and my missus once sat low in block four, said she met a lovely old fella who, at the site of a foreign player became a massive racist. Don't understand it at all. On topic, I'm glad of the signing and did have a discussion with said missus towards the end of the season about the possibility of him returning as assistant or player coach if Corey or Strachs fave it up. Great news for my money. |

Too many chiefs maybe? There is a lot of "tinkering' already.
Just putting it out there. Glad he's back on the player side for sure.

Can't for the life of me see why on earth we need a third coach.......it's just another way of hiding some wage money !

If anything it provides us with more money towards the roster, being paid for duties as an ass coach would free wages towards another signing or for a pay rise to another. Not every little detail goes towards penny pinching. Considering RS is only part time too it makes sense to have Clarke take on a coaching role. A loyal, long time servant that knows exactly what is expected wearing the jersey. I don't see the issue at all. |

If you have a budget, it wouldn't matter if it's player or coaches, they still take up the same amount of budget. |
