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.

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'?

Seems strange ... when did Powell say that?

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

I hope you’ve dreamt that mate because, well…..

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

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.

It’s almost as if Powell is making it up as he goes along rather than having some genius, long term game plan.

….In terms of Ratchford in Ratchford out etc. We need a half and Clifford could be worth a punt. Ratchford starts in the halves next season and nothing will improve.

I don't know him, don't know how people can dismiss him if they don't know him either. If this comes off he'll get my support.

I do know I dont want Ratch as 6
