Do you mean Craig Harrisons wand?

Don’t talk wet. Powell wouldn’t have any and all of his clients.
Do you truly believe Powell signs players because Harrison tells him he must? The mind boggles. Sincerely.
I mean Powell didn't go looking for Clarkson so lets give credit where credit is due. The man who finds our talent is Mr.Harrison the agent we have a very good relationship with.....

i was chuffed to bits for the lad when he scored the try. like others have said the rest of the players made a real fuss of him but i thought the WRE gave him a special cheer as he walked back. he certainly didn't leave anything on the pitch, was shattered at the end.

Very early days
However thus far I know it is two games, however it seems another of Darlys inspired signings.
Lots of people in all walks of life at some point can loose their motivation.
They do not loose their ability.
It just needs someone or something to rekindle that motivation.
Mr Powell seems to have that ability.
Most people want to achieve, realise their potential, self satisfaction and feeling valued.
The culture of the club seems to realise and promote this.
Last night's performance by the lad may be the time he realises what he was missing, not only that it provides healthy competition and reduces complacency.
Ran his blood to water and capped it with a stand out try.
I hope he continues in this vein making great competition for being in the starting seventeen.
I think healthy competition is motivational, whereas the marquee concept can cause disharmony.
Looking forward to next Thursday and hope we can turn over Wire and persuade some of our own doubters to believe in the Powell approach.
So many injuries, so much expectation..
I keep saying it has there ever been a better time to be a Cas Fan.

Agree 100%. The way the other players celebrated his try was a joy to behold. I sense there is a fair amount of team spirit within that squad. It was the same last week when Watts and Rankin scored.
This ^^

I noticed this also. This fighting spirit went missing at the back end of 2018. Lets hope it's here to stay.

Bit like Alex Foster when he first joined the club?? I’ve high hopes for CC to be a regular in the 17 come seasons end....
if we have have fully fit pack no chance pal who's place his he going to take
On the stats sheet there was a clear standout this round - congrats @chrisclarkson00 CTS MOTM for Round 4.

A try that was HARDCORE
Most tackles
Most marker tackles
Most Tackle busts
Highest avg gain per carry

i noticed once, late in the game he packed down at open side prop and managed to break quickly enough to tackle the half back before he got the pass away. kr must be kicking themselves.

Could it be argued he raised his game against his former club?

Either way, he should realise that performances like that every week will get him a longer contract for a team worth playing for.

The balls in his court, he can earn himself a longer contract like fozzie did. If not, he'll be out like green was.

So far so Good.

And for me that should be the case for all players, perform well and you'll be rewarded.

Yes. I understand long vibrates for some like truey, who should be in the gb squad.
