We are still relying on Newcastle signing a new pivot, makes certainly a bit of a risk.

Manly desperate to keep Garrick, how long can we afford to wait for Newcastle to say if they will release Clifford or not, is it time to look for an alternative option?

Garrick wants to play FB but won't be at Manly. Ponga is moving to 6 at Newcastle.....

Offered him a bumper 4 year deal according to Fox sports.

That for me is the worry that we are reliant of moves elsewhere before Clifford comes this way (if he ever does). Its odd though that Newcastle would offer him out to SL clubs but then not be willing for him to go just yet?

With news the Brooks move isn't happening its looking less likely things will fall in to place and with pre season only just around the corner I'd have hoped the club would have got a much need half/replacement for Jake in place to start pre season.

Still concerned with Mau gone at the lack of SR options in terms of size etc especially with question marks over Dre's injury record.

Think he's signed going off the HDM article and are letting the club officially announce it.

Similar wording when they broke the Connor story.

Couldn’t read the article mate due to being subscription only but can only be good news for us

Sometimes it’s what they don’t say that is interesting. Someone asked TS about it (think it was YEP), and he wouldn’t talk about it. He didn’t deny it though, and sometimes that’s as good as confirmation.

someone on the newcastle forum saying its a 2year deal,with a clause that he can return to oz any time he wants.hope hes wrong about the clause.

I don't believe that clause at all, maybe at the end of Year 1, but don't believe he can leave at anytime

Can't keep up with this story, I hope it's confirmed soon.

I do hope it's announced soon, just to stop the fanny flappers 'worrying'

Probably signed weeks ago. The club should realise the mental anguish it’s causing. Folk have been stressing about not just one Jake but two jakes.

Clifford now following the club and Trueman on Instagram

No hiding place on social media



Hopefully confirmed in the next day or two.

Good news Friday?

confirmed

Fantastic news

Well done Hull

Together with the appointment of Smith this is the best recruitment we've had in years.

Even better if we can release 1 maybe 2 and bring in a quality second rower.

Interesting comment saying completes the signings for 2023 so far….

Hopefully at least one more to come in.

Pleased and relieved the signing and Clifford has finally been announced officially. He certainly seems to tick all the boxes for a half that we need.

Hopefully will go very well in SL for us.

A definite upgrade in terms of the spine and pivots for the coming season.
Be nice I’d we can bring in a decent SR to replace the loss of Mau.

That aside still think TS is probably our best singing for many a year.

If we can’t get a second rower in then I’d like to see Ligi move there. As much as I like Longstaff, just feel we need some size and physicality in that position.
