| Asiata has revealed the actual motivations behind the move.
He said: “I’m really excited for the new challenge that lies ahead for me at Hull FC.
After speaking to Richie Myler, it’s clear that we are both on the same page in wanting to help this club to being better than ever before.
Thank you to Adam, Richie and the Hull FC family for having faith in me. I really look forward to getting stuck in with the boys once the time comes."
I think it would be better if Asiata said these things after the season ends. I know he will be professional and give 100% for Leigh until his contract ends but those comments don't sit well with me. I want people like Hanley and Adrian Lam, saying how much they love being at Leigh. I'm a Leyther through and through and supported them for 60 years, and as far as I'm concerned Asiata can go now if he can't wait to be with his Hull family. I can't feel the same about him now.

Myler's mania is a little bewildering. HFC could soon be facing more financial misconduct charges than Manchester Arabia!
Serious question (or two)
A little research on the subject revealed that the normal punishment for a breach is 2 points. Unfortunately they are unlikely to breach this year, with no real possibility of them achieving nil points in the season (can still dream).

| Bongser defers to both your ken and research, Sep, but recalls Marwan buying a flashy car for one of his (then) Salford players. Found to be in breach of cap, Salford were given a dock of six points - suspended until a time of the RFL's choosing!! They hated Marwan - and later adopted his idea (pooh-poohed at the time) of allowing Marquee Players!

| I’ve heard Asiata has looked into backing out of his Hull deal, whether it goes any further or not remains to be seen. Unhappy with the way Hull have handled things and a change of heart with Lam signing a long term deal with Leigh.

| Asiata is truly top class but he hasn't played regularly since the cup final last year. I think its time for him to move on.
Trout is learning quickly about go forward and ruck speed and i think will become a monster next season. We will miss his ball playing skills but they are replaceable. I think i would rather have the cap space and quota spot at this time.
Asiata has been immense and i will never forget his contribution to the semi final against St Helens but it just feels like time.
