He only comes on here because he likes to be around a big club.

He made the call to walk away, he didn't have too. There was big money on the table for him. He was excellent for Souths but, after his illness took some time away. If he feels he is ready to come back then good for him. I don't see too many other decent backs out there we could have signed and he could prove to be a very good signing if he can rediscover his form. He's only 25 so has every chance.
I'm pleased with this signing. Watched him at Souths and there wasn't much to dislike.
You keep harking on about the bins if it makes you feel better,

| Souths paid him out, where was this big money on the table for him?
His downturn in form started before his illness.

Don't you give up? The guy hasn't pulled on a shirt or set foot in the airport and you're bagging him, which means you have some sort of vendetta. Perhaps he didn't empty your bin one day after you'd got up at 6am just to drag it down the path? Did he bone your girlfriend or mum?
Have you got an FC season pass?

From what I've gathered he lives in Oz and therefore knows everything about every player that has ever stepped foot in the country.

| Quote: "Hull FC have continued to strengthen their squad for 2014 after confirming the signing of former South Sydney Rabbitohs back Fetuli Talanoa, the club’s sixth new addition for Super League XIX.
The 6ft, near 16-stone flyer has penned a one-year contract at the Black and Whites with an option for 2015 and will link up with coach Lee Radford’s squad subject to being granted a work permit.
'"
One year deal sounds sensible, hopefully an astute signing. Let's give the bloke a chance.

| To be fair, looking at the facts it looks a terrible signing, 4 years since he played at decent level, and that can be a long time, anyone who denies that is a bit of an idiot.
But he proved that we're was once some talent and ability there, if his heads sorted there is small possibility he could tear it up at SL level, for that alone if say he's worth a one year deal, if people moaned about Hutch Maiva, I'd say the harsh reality is he had more a chance here then Talanoa, for me though I'd sooner take a chance on a hundred kids like this rather then proven average players.

| I would have stayed miles away from Joel Monaghan when he had his encounters with booze and a dog. And I would have been wrong to do so evidently by his ability.
I would like to think that Talanoa is in the same boat, were all quick to judge but he is big enough to get out on the field and prove his worth. We may even get away crowds singing 'my old mans a dustman' after all, most fans singing 'who let the dogs out' to Monaghan is no bigger compliment really, cause its usually sang when he upsets the opposition. Ie scoring a try.
Good luck Talanoa, welcome to Hull FC.

Think this could be a Wheelie good signing or complete Garbage
Welcome to FC Futuli, joking aside this one could go either way, but as allways anyone pulling on the B&W shirt gets my full support, have a feeling this could turn out to be a smart move.
Still needs a visa but I guess the fact that it's been announced suggests that any potential hurdles have been overcome.
