2023 Recruitment & Retention Thread

Hey all

Rumours over in Hull is that we've all but signed Clifford to link up with Tex Hoy for next season.

Anyone heard anything?

How do you think he'd go over here?

Thanks!

Great news if true need some dead wood off the top 30 roster just about 20 of them to go!

Agree with everyone that he should preform well ESL. So, where does that leave Newcastle another half down. I'd only assume they (Parr, etc) have "someone" lined up. Otherwise, I would be seriously pissed if we don't sign anyone. November 1 right. Cutting it fine.

They need to get rid of him and clune they are a waste of space...

Too many reserve grade halves!

But sign gamble and want to keep crossland

 

[Kurriboy]

I guess better to sign Gamble and want to keep Crossland, and have Clune and Clifford on the books.

We don't need 4 almost NRL halves in reserve.

its a clear upgrade on what we have, and with so little available i dont know what else we could do.

Don't need to imagine, we're Newcastle remember?

 

[Maxibon]

Brooks has not played behind a forward pack as good as we have. I think he and Ponga could form one of the comps best combinations.

What did I tell you all. Horses mouth

 

[MattyM]

With Brooks we might go from 14th to 13th. #Progression

 

[BETTERTHANLEGO]

Anyone else as anxious as I am about November 1?

 

[JOJO82]

It's reported we are chipping in 300k and tigers 800k for Brooks.....if true that is not bad outcome for us

 

[slotmachine]

Other way round, and 800k for Brooks is a terrible outcome

 

[mullenmagic]

Had a look around the news sites and I've seen no reports on money at all.

Unless I've missed something this tweet from a completely random fan account seem to be the extent of the "reports."

If the horse is Brooks he was probably saying he would be here last season as well.

 

[Roundtable]

I'm happy to jump into the hopium that Brooks is the answer! An upgrade on what we have.

Nah this deal was done well over a month ago. But not before that

Yes I am. The success of our season depends on it.
