We offered him a contract by all accounts and he turned it down. Pretty bang average centre, decent winger but not consistent enough and doesn’t have great speed either.

Feki has both speed and strength by all accounts and will be better than both Minikin and Clare.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see 1 or maybe 2 playing for the bulls next season, especially if Ryan has signed for hull k r, I thing egodo would be good, and although you Cas guys don’t have much to say about James Clare, he was exceptional at fullback when he was at the bulls

So Wire can announce Gelling

I'm not doubting he's better, a lot better in Clare's case. I'm just wondering if its the best use of a quota spot?

Hull FC confirm that Ratu Naulago will be at the club next season, and are already working on extending beyond then too.

Find of the season!

I’d actually rather play with just Feki than Minikin and Clare. Minikin thinks he’s better than he is, but as a centre he’s very poor when he comes up against anyone half-decent. Clare is just nowhere near SL level.
It’s shaping up well for Cas next year I think. We are swapping Minikin and Clare for Blair and Feki. To me, that’s a massive improvement.
Of course, much will depend on how Luke Gale returns after more or less two years out.

Agreed.
Will be interesting to see who plays on the wing at FC next year. Fairimo, Fonua, Naulago and Swift will all be vying for starting positions and two will be disappointed.

I think Radders has come out and said that Fonua will play centre (prefer him on the wing personally) therefore Faraimo and Naulago on the wings with Fonua and Tuimavave in at Centre Connor to 6 if Kelly leaves.
If Kelly doesn’t leave then who knows?! We’re over crowded in the backs with quality everywhere! As for Swift he’d be back up currently, although I wouldn’t be surprised to see allow him to find another club if he isn’t happy being back up again. Griffin will see himself in the back row permanently as of next season.

Faraimo
Naulago
Fonua
Swift
Connor
Tuimavave

All vying for four places.

Good Signing Ratu . Worked well for Hull . He’s a handful at times . Hull need to tie him to a contract .

Does Naulago take up a quota spot ?

No, I’m pretty sure because he’s in the British army he doesn’t count on the quota.
