Go back a year and replace the name Jake Clifford with Brodie Croft (or Cade Cust) and the reaction would have been the same. I don't know him at all.

Re: Jake Clifford : Thu Sep 15, 2022 7:52 pm  

For me we need another half-back (to play with Williams). Also have to sort out the Centre position & Wing before we are looking anything like. So let's hope Clifford could be one problem solved.

So we have now tried to sign 2 half backs from newcastle. Would powell like to clarify his statement of 'I see stefan as our half back for next season'?

I believe it was shortly after ratchford signed his baffling 2 year contract extension.

"I believe" sounds a bit vague. Well it looks like he didn't actually say that or he has changed his mind.

Re: Jake Clifford : Thu Sep 15, 2022 8:40 pm  

Yeah loads of Aussies are saying he hasn't settled well in Newcastle and is Homesick, so would be a bit weird to suddenly fly halfway around the world. Sounds like it could be another Tyrone Roberts, where he's had to be talked in to it. I don't know the ins and outs though so could all ge rumour, he might just not be happy at the knights? We also might not of signed him at all as a few stated we had already signed a halfback 2-3 weeks ago which turned out to be false.

Wishful thinking from Powell and it didn't happen. If we sign a new half-back it looks like Ratchford will play as back up in various positions ... FB/C/HB/LF/SR/H as required.
