Odd comment that, mate. Mark O'Meley has been a terrific signing for us and consistently stood-out. The reason for our mediocrity is lack of talent elsewhere and attitudes like Lauaki's in the team.
That said, If you can get his attitude sorted and play him where his strongest; wide running back-row, then you potentially have a very destructive player joining your ranks.

| It might turn out to be good signing but I find it a strange signing. Hull aint give him another deal and Wigan have.
Wigan obviously see potential in him as they give him 3yr deal with option of another year.
It will be interesting to see how he turns out. I wonder if the lack of quality props available as seen you move for a prop that Wigan feel can improve him.

| Well we know who the scapegoat is early doors this season.
As I said when the rumours started, I'm quietly confident he'll go well at Wigan. Waney won't let him get away with laziness and not using his size intelligently, and God help him when Bitcon gets stuck in to him.

If he suddenly becomes a revelation at your place I will hold my hands up and admit I was wrong.'"
Putting him down or whatever is one thing but saying the signing means we arent interested in winning SL for the next 3 years is ludicrous. Especially ludicrous when it comes from somebody who supports a team like Hull FC who have underachieved forever.
Im not loving the signing or anything but everybody deserves a chance. Wigan fans were calling Finch and Lima crap at beginning of last season

| He's pretty average at the moment but he does have a bit of potential. Hopefully the Wigan staff will be able to improve him

Waste of quota spot IMO. He may do well with you lot, but I doubt it. To get him to play consistently well over 3-4 years would take a lot of 'good coaching' indeed!

| He does show some potential, but his problem is his attitude to work, I think. He has some flashes, but then he just goes anonymous more often than not and a lot of it appears to be laziness.
If your coaches can get his aggression back, he could be decent for you. On the other hand, he could be a waste of a spot.
Better in the 2nd row than at prop, imo.

Oy, leave Jack Roden alone, he's a fantastic scout!

| Don't know why so many people are that negative about this signing.
The reality is that it is harder than ever to lure world class southern hemisphere players to this country, so the issue of using up a quota spot isn't as big an issue for me as it seems to be for others. It will be a while before we can sign another Hoff!
As long as we aren't paying this guy too much I don't think it's too much to ask for people to put their faith in SW. One thing's for sure, he's not a man who tolerates a low work ethic, so he must think that Lauaki has it in him to work hard and improve, so I'm more than happy giving this signing the benefit of the doubt for now.
