His fate will be very interesting in the coming months and years, the likes of Dunstall and Brereton influence a powerful coterie that is very unforgiving!
At the moment I think Clarkson's old school ways sit quite nicely with the Dunstalls and Breretons of this world, but I am not sure the next generations of recruits will be so easily dominated.
Clarko did evolve with each of his flags as he knew you couldn't sit still. Inevitably his guns were going to grow old and there was going to be a down period but he's quite capable of evolving again. Sheedy re-invented himself for 27 years.
Think it was the other way around. I'm thinking Bolton and Fagan might have picked up much about player development from Clarko.
