Bulldogs are after Flanagan from Roosters.

North Queensland has reached out to Benji Marshall in a move which could see Jake Clifford on the move to Newcastle.

Marshall is adamant he will play on next season and now the Cowboys have emerged as a potential suitor for the 35-year-old. Marshall has a close relationship with new Cowboys coach Todd Payten having won a premiership alongside each other at the Tigers in 2005.

Whether Marshall would be keen to move his young family to Townsville for just one season is unknown but it may be his only option to play on.


If Marshall does join North Queensland, it could open the door for Clifford to hit the open market. If he lands at Newcastle, it won’t have any ramifications for the future of Knights skipper Mitchell Pearce.

Clifford has fallen down the pecking order at the Cowboys, sitting behind Michael Morgan and Scott Drinkwater in the halves.

The 22-year-old is off contract at the end of next year but North Queensland could consider letting him go a year early, in a bid to clear some salary cap space.


The Knights have a stack of halves options including Pearce, Kurt Mann, Phoenix Crossland and Tex Hoy but the quartet are all off-contact at the end of next year. Newcastle will sit down with Pearce to discuss a contract extension before Christmas.

The group of off-contract players become free agents on November 1.

Injuries ravaged the Knights premiership hopes this year so the addition of Clifford would add to their depth.

Injured playmaker Blake Green will also need to make a decision on his future in the coming days. The Bulldogs are seeking clarity from Green, wanting to know if he intends on joining the club next year. Green is exploring the potential of a coaching and playing contract with the Knights as the Bulldogs close in on Kyle Flanagan.

Reynolds for Widdop... who says no?

We say yes. Widdop probably says yes (partner is here)...

Josh R laughs and says not a chance...sits out year (with no state cup likely) cashing cheques...

Then that’s the end of his NRL career, no one will touch him after that.

Clifford is a decent little player. Surprised they’re picking Morgan over him

 

[Russell]

As I've said before, throw the sink at Burton but if we can't entice him - Clifford would be a real good substitute imo.

Not sure.
Winning SOO no6 completely injury free(because hes barely played in 4 years)and enthusiastic team man and just 30 will definitely attract about one half of what were paying him to someone...it may even be us if he does well next season
..and if not in Oz,THEN its time to go to UK

Me too, the club will be far better off with out Benji on and off the field, even at training things will be better, on the field will be far better

no to Clifford better saving for Burton or having a big go for Munster or Grant for 2022

 

[cktiger]

I can't understand the amount of Penrith players looking to go to Bulldogs after Penrith stated that Barrett wouldn't be allowed to entice them

So it’s ok for them to entice a coach of another club but don’t won’t Barrett to take any of their players , they can get stuffed the arrogant so and so’s hope they get smashed tonight

Benji can play 1 season too many with the Cowboys, just like Thurston did.

 

[Vince Farrar]

I think unfortunately 2020 was one season too many

So are my mates that are Doggies fans

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

don't know where the dogs think they are getting JAC, i can see uncle Wayne maybe pinching him but not the dogs.
Dogs will need to be happy with Flannagan and maybe Burton
Surely he is coming home to us for 2021
