I'm pleased with the signing a young forward is what we need and I have always being impressed with him when I have seen him.

I can't believe how many people get negative when we sign these type of players, so what if he has being injured for the last season or so. Injuries are random and can happen to any player at any time, nobody bats an eye lid when we carry on giving a certain number six all the time in the world. Any player you can sign could always be the next "Warren Jewitt" so I am not going to let any players age or previous fitness effect my opinions on them as a player on the pitch.

We needed more props and its a bonus we have got on without the need to use a quota space.

Slag this signing when he's coming to the end of his three contract not before he has got here. Typical of most Hull fans that though !

yeah reading this board is getting depressing, what a bunch of doom and gloom merchants we are. Does nothing make anyone happy. ( Beer does it for me )

(Looking forward to Wilf's assessment on this signing)

I like to think we have had our share of bad luck with injuries over the last few years, so its about time our luck changed. Any player who pulls on the black & white gets my support. Welcome to Hull FC, Eamon. Show us what you can do!

We need props and haven't signed Matt Scott?

Fuck this club!!

He'd be a very risky signing.
I for one, wouldn't be impressed.

Can understand why people see it as a risk, however in 2 years time and for a veriety of reasons, in all likelihood Radders, Moa, O Meley, Dowes and Lauaki will no longer be at the club, regardless of whether we sign Lynch, O Carroll could turn out to be one of our integral props at that time and he will still only be 26.

Interesting to see on whole Wigan fans are sorry to see him go, and if it's true the likes of Saints offered him a similar deal then Pearson has already illustrated the ambition he has for FC to potential recruits.

Wasn't O carroll the kid who smashed Morley on his first game back over here from the NRL ?

yup

could be worse..............you could have signed gareth thomas

fwiw i think you have made a fabulous signing! despite his size he runs the ball in harder than most forwards and gets through a tremendous amount of work.

gutted to see him leave wigan

So anyway.....Ben Pomeroy next???

eamon o carrol signed, in for ben pomeroy from cronulla sharks

After further thought I am more happy of this signing then when it was first rumoured.

For a start I thought he was out with a glass body, I was not aware it was because of a rare groin injury. He is young and is still in contention for the Wigan starting 17, which is good enough for me.

Will be pushing Radders for his spot in the team next year, welcome Eamon!

Good player but he's got to be 31-32 next season we need to be looking for a centre/winger and some youth for the future.

Is that the 26 year-old best prop in the NRL?
