"Has come back a man": Todd Payten, Jake Clifford heap praise on 'confident' halfback after return
North Queensland Cowboys coach Todd Payten has showered praise on the returning Jake Clifford after a stellar performance led the team to a resounding victory over the Canberra Raiders in Townsville on Saturday evening.
Clifford was called up to replace the ousted Chad Townsend for the crucial showdown with the Raiders, and the new halfback certainly did not disappoint.
