Hindsight is a great thing, time will only tell (like it does with every deal) who has got the best end of the deal. If Sneyd comes to Hull develops into the England 7 and makes us into a top 4 team, then its 100k well spent and Koukash will look stupid for throwing money away at players when he already had the tools at his disposal.

On the other hand he could get injured or just not work out at all and we look very silly for throwing large amounts of money at him. It is a gamble but in Hull's situation you can see why we have done it, in need of a goal kicker and a scrum half. We have signed one who is young and yet to go into his prime, we could end up with the answer to our long term problem of needing a half back.

I think it is his goal kicking which has sealed the deal though, we have dropped a lot of points by not having one. We could have won on Sunday if we had a reliable goal kicker, the table doesn't lie but if you look at the F and A column we actually have a plus difference of over 100 points. We just lose the close games as we have not had a reliable kicker, so that in itself is worth the punt.

A more concerning note would be we have two owners here in Koukash and Pearson who have thrown money into the game, just makes me wonder what they could achieve if they actually appointed decent coaches!

Ashton Sims to Wire.

Guessing that automatically qualifies Simms as being s***e then.....

I'm being facetious.

Fair do's.

Probably not adding to a debate but fair enough.

For me he is a good signing.

He is a great signing for us, hopefully he will have more of an impact than Asotasi has this season.

time as ever will tell

happy with our 2 new halves but got to say that is an excellent signing for warrington, will give them some agression up front to go along with the excellent workrate of chris hill, that's as good a front row as is in superleague

Ryan Brierley to Wigan. 2 year contract with a possible 1 year extension.

Not heard that one before

He's not exactly like for like with Green.

Good signing that.

Where have you got this from Leigh said he's not for sale
