Just going on what I’ve seen. He’s been a handful based on the FC games I’ve watched. Just hope we can keep him injury free.

How old is he?

We could sign copper cronk..heargreves and pongia and still some would moan on here joe on his day is a quality player and offers somthing we dont have as in a ball playing forward welcome aboard joe well done MC and co

Oh and hes 29

He’ll be 30 when the season starts.

That is only 1.5 per game so actually not that great but I hope he shows his Castleford form.

I bet its more than most of our team apart from Fifita.
But he said he hadn't seen any. Was just making a point.

I know he does not have much to beat but 1.5 in a ball handling team like Hull is a lot easier than the style we have started to play.

his early season form was very good, since he had that knee coming out on TV he hasn't been the same, put a bit of timber on to, if you can get him fit hes a good signing for you guys,

It’s an ok signing for me.

A few years ago he’d have been considered a major signing with huge level of expectation. Now he’s just another player brought in to bolster a position we are already fairly strong in. He’s no longer a key signing for any club so pressure off which I think is a good thing in his case.

His biggest asset is experience and a level of versatility, I think his weaknesses are fairly well known, fitness probably our biggest concern.

agree with this mediocre signing at best....
hopefully he does a job.

Still a young buck with plenty to offer ,can’t beat that experience he’ll bring to the club ,and hopefully the team will be that bit more competitive with this signing .

I never said he was mediocre, please don’t put words in my mouth.

Trust me my reasoning is completely different to yours. You seem to think Trinity has a ‘mediocre’ squad whose main aim is to avoid relegation and be mid table fodder as you continually state.

I don’t think that, I think we have plenty of quality but we totally underperformed last season even taking injuries into account.

Even without knowing the final team line up for 2020 I feel we are even stronger injuries permitting. This means that a player who would have been a huge signing 3-4 years ago is now just an addition, something I find very heartening.

Please don’t include me in your glass half empty routine, I’m a positive thinker at the start of a season, I don’t see any point in not being. To see your team as beaten before a game is played is the calling card of a loser in my book, sorry but that’s how I see it.

Can't wait for him to make his first mistake and the chants of "You Cas ********" to start.

I think if fit, he'll be a useful addition to the squad. Nice to be in a situation where we have:
Ashurst
Tanginoa
Arona
Batchelor
Crowther
Westerman
to choose from for back row forwards.
