TBH its another aussie coming over here to collect a pay day before retirement. I don't doubt he may be a role model for our younger players (q: does that mean we don't have any now?) and will give 100% but 100% of the 2010 version of Fitzgibbon will not be a patch on the 2000-2004 version...

BTW - Welcome to Hull FC!

Sorry. Hull had may as well send Johnny Whiteley and Arthur Bunting out to recruit players, at least they know what they're looking at.

very reminescent of the kearney signing,at least let him get his feet on english soil before we start bagging him,could be an important piece of a new phase in the club if coupled with further recruitment/releases for next year...

32

So does that mean 'Berro' wasn't very happy then?

Just when I thought things could not get worse.........wtf have we signed yet another backrower for??????????

Not doubting the guy is a excellent player and probably role model,but assuming Luaki makes the grade why would we need another back rower?
The recruitment policy at this club is a complete joke.

Having followed the club now for almost 40 years I have seen some inept directors and officials but this current lot are totally clueless.

Will support the team through thick and thin as always but the current decision makers at the club are really testing the patience of fans

Is he Luakis replacement

totally agree - i thought we were short of outside backs not back row forwards...

E-mail the club?
They might post a reason on the Fc webite....

I hear Paul Thorman is playing well at the Skolars.

vella was a signing with not a lot of options in the nrl before he signed for the reds and turned out well so think we need to see what he can do before we judge the guy,let him play and if he is rubbish/injury prone then we can slag him...

Date of Birth : 16 June, 1977 - as I said, he turns 33 next June.
