BBC released viewing figures.
Over 600k. Very impressive.
No doubt a few dobbin posters on here where watching it too.

Early days for Clifford but he’s getting better but he needs with help of others to keep this going and hopefully turn Saints over in one or both of the games we play them at home. As I said before I’d offer him a bumper deal on Marquee money for another two years then if he decides to go back to the NRL I’d be happy with that.

He has demonstrated SL level skills in recent matches but Marquee wages? If that’s the criteria it could be applied to half the SL workforce.

Remember when Keith said Milnes was better than Clifford

To be honest based on recent form I wouldn't swap Clifford for any other 7 in the league (I like Harry Smith but he seems to have gone off the boil a bit) and I can only see him continuing to get better, especially as he now has another good half alongside him in Trueman. Will take some pressure off him having to do everything himself, and mot knowing who he's going to be playing alongside from week to week.
Got a much more well rounded game than just been able to kick a ball high.
