Quite simply jake Clifford is the best signing we have made from NRL in last 20 years. I just prey he does not have the nrl clause in his contract so he can leave. He was today miles ahead of any individual on the field. Long may it last.

A bit early to make that claim. I think Mini and Swain would be my choices on that one.

Yep I agree swain and mini were quality but in a good side. Clifford is 22 and without a plate in his arm would be in nrl POSs playing for Australia. He has led a team that was a bag of crap for most of season and just listen to swift on post match interview to see how player s rate him. Here is a shocker for you. If you understand rugby he is better than Stirling

Actually just to give some balance swains chargedown of sinfields drop goal at end of 2005 final was as important as mints 52 tackle in terms of winning cup. But hopefully Clifford will be around long enough to show how good he is. I already have a plan to get lino from wakey to replace him when an NRL club pays big bucks for him . Hope it does not come to fruition .

Yea Mr moanaire very quiet. To me he clearly isn't a FC fan. Never ever posts when we win. Lose and he posts during it non stop telling us how a s hite we are followed by a couple of days slagging the players coaches and management off. Total tool

Really pleased with the win. Apart from first 5 min CAS never had a sniff. Well played lads as fans we can ask for no more.

Griffin very good today. Definitely warrants another year.

What is it with the CC drawing identical fixtures?
We play Saints at home the week after in the league.

While its of course luck of the draw, this format with SL teams coming in late doesnt help matters for repeat fixtures. And all those early rounds have resulted in just York making it through so it all feels pointless.

But anyway onto FC and really pleased that we are on the right track and building something, Cas had a few missing today and illness in the camp so there will be tougher days ahead but there is a drive and determination there now that was badly lacking a month or two back.

Agree with others that Clifford looks a quality signing and is now settling in well.

Just 4,249 at the Jungle today. Hull must have made up half of that.

Poor discipline by Cator to hold & pull Griffin down on the 5th tackle to give Cas the opportunity for a score.

It was Chris but i have to say our on field discipline has been much better so we are not having to defend so much.Makes a huge difference
