Oh yes......Pearson promised big signings and he has deliverd.The black & Whites are slowing rising from the mess of the Hetheringtons....the futures Black,the futures BLACK AND WHITE.

Great signing, shows intent. Just glad that team who never breach the salary cap haven't got him. They must have got their wires crossed.

We're Warrington ever after him? Teams like them and Leeds (and to an extent Wigan) have very good back rows as it is so Ellis would have been a luxury. I put on the Leeds board when he announced he was coming back that I hoped we didnt sign him and that I hoped Cas would but fair do's to Hull. A good signing and definitely strengthens the pack for them. Adds to the comp too. Hull with another signing or so should be looking to push for the top 5 next year IMO.

the club seem to have realised now that positive news like this will sell season tickets, plus other big names will now follow once they see the club's ambition

ZING! Take that Cas!

though the salary cap was live and u had to get the ok from R.F.L ??

for me hull had one of the top 3 packs in the comp this year anyway!

with the addition of Ellis things look very good on humberside.

i bet westermans delighted!

Hull are already 'pushing for the top 5' as it is here in 2012.

Can only ask what the hell he is thinking? I suppose you cant blame him though coming to the end of his career and taking the biggest offer.

Best of a bad bunch for me. By best, I mean 'biggest pay packet'. And fair enough.

Can't see anyone out of Wigan, Warrington, Leeds or Saints putting in a big bid, though I'd be surprised if they hadn't shown any interest.

For example, would have loved him at Wigan but he was probably asking a hefty sum and our pack situation doesn't need him.

Gareth took the big pay day at Hull or he'd have choosen Leeds can't blame him he's playing now for his retirement
