Yes, he's still at Hull KR.
Dave does get a bit confused if anyone critises Hull players

You knew who I meant, not sure what you have to be clever? Not sure why we struggle, Mini was a steady NRL player who was coming to the end of his career, a move to the UK made sense, he has been an amazing signing for us and if Wakeman is anywhere as near as good as he has been, you have a great signing.
Point still stands, which not surprisingly you choose to ignore you can't judge how good a signing when he has only played in a comp like NSW, when average SL players like Tyrone McCarthy are getting in the team on the year, it shows the standard.
He might do well, but highlighting those stats and clips are pointless, when he will be playing in a better standard league next year.

Troll alert,
Don't mind players being criticised if justified (I do it many times myself), but to highlight Minichello, who has been one of the best overseas signings in the last couple of years and compare to Wakeman seems very strange, maybe a comparison of someone like Sam Moa, when he first signed for Hull would be better.

| Even as a Hull KR fan I can appreciate what an excellent signing minichello has been probably there best overseas signing for years so to use him as a comparison to a 26 year old who's never played NRL is a bit stupid

| To suggest that the NSW cup is a standard below superleague is burying your head at how poor the standard is over here.
As for minechiello -you might want to look at the initial comment I made about him and think it through .

Like it or not the NSW cup is a standard below SL that's why very average SL players can walk into there teams and become stars your comments make me realise you know nothing of that particular competition

Of course it is, everyone knows it, apart from Jools.
As said, when players the standard in Tyrone McCarthy, who lets be honest is Championship standard, is in the dream team, it shows how much below SL it is.

| Tyrone Mccarthy is no a championship player, to say so is being blinkered to support your own argument
This situation though is simply what happens when you have a p&r battle
By the time it's settled the best players are long signed up, leaving other options and it's been the case since 1973 that every single manager would pick an average Aussie because he will be of a certain standard rather than chance a young kid or championship player
Under Licencing clubs promoted youth and lower league players knowing they had that luxury. As soon as we went to p&r the journeymen returned
Out of interest, which props in England should Huddersfield have signed that are as good as Wakeman and wouldn't need a transfer fee?
