Do you think Hull FC are constrained by cap or cash now?

The tone of the HDM coverage and Pearson's comments on finances changed a bit as the year went on - but from looming crisis to very challenging rather than all fixed.

Cap I think, worryingly we seem to be at full cap.

Probably not using the Marquee rule though.

Most reports from Oz suggest that Clifford is now on the outside at the Knights and they are keen to offload him whether they sign someone or not.

That said I can’t understand what the holdup would be unless he is hoping for an NRL gig somewhere else?

Saw some comments online from Newcastle fans saying they’d doubt Clifford would stay there, even if Brooks didn’t end up there.

Hoping something is announced soon

I wonder why Jake Clifford has started following a Hull car dealership on Instagram...

Good detective work, hopefully announced soon.

I've been checking his Instagram to see if he was following any of our players. But that's a really good spot



Fingers crossed it gets announced this week

Great spot



Yes Hull heritage cars which is followed by and follows a good few of our players.

Well detected. Good work.

Speaking as someone who hasn't seen much of him, is Clifford actually any good?

Honda de vries ?

Stalker alert!

from what ive seen of him,he will go really well over here.got a bit of speed and flair about him.

T & S Elite cars should be able to sort him out with a good deal

Signing for Rovers

Think the Wales halfback would be worth a punt as a project

Whcih one Josh Ralph?

Would count as a non fed player, not sure we could risk using our last spot on a project.

Josh Drinkwater & Dylan Napa both been made available by Catalans apparently.

I'd rather have Clifford, but wouldn't mind Drinkwater if that deal doesn't happen. Think he will go to Warrington though.

Tony Smith signed Drinkwater for Rovers if I remember correctly, but according to most, he underwhelmed big time. Be a good player to have as an option though if nothing materialises down under.

Napa is the sort of player we don't need - banned every other week. Imagine... Napa, Evans, Reynolds, Gale, Sao and Connor together, the match review panel would be relocating to hull

Newcastle chasing Rueben Garrick to play full back in 2023, which would push Ponga to 6. Must be planning to be without Clifford

be a big boost if we can get clifford,not only a good half back,but a decent goalkicker too.

Signed ahead of the 2019 season when Sheens was still in charge, played half a season (roughly) under Smith before returning to Catalans.

Always thought he was reasonably solid for Rovers, given that we spent 2019 fighting relegation - wasn’t one of the ones most to blame for that imo. Did have a couple of ropey games - including one after I’d been sticking up for him, iirc. Suffered by comparison with how good some people imagined Chris Atkin might have been if he’d have been picked instead.

The swap deal between Brooks and Klemmer is off ... Maybe that puts our deal with Clifford in jeopardy.. https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/the-mole-d ... ca2f033ea1
