Quote: Bombed Out "For me personally it is a baffling signing.

A 31 year old union convert not available til may possibly.
I cant see how this represents squad progression or value for money for when we do start paying him.'"


The signing has been made to try and make the most of the salary cap, that seems to be the official line at least.

He was not a radders signing but he seems to think he will go well once he's upto speed, strong with the ball in hand & a good defender, as for people saying he will struggle to make the switch this is stupid players have coped very well going either way.

And on the flip side some haven't coped well so bit of a daft comment to make.
He is very much an unknown quantity in league so only time will tell.

I agree but again I don't believe it represents value for me.
Just because we have cap space doesn't mean we have to unnecessarily spend it.
Almost like money burning a hole in your pocket syndrome.
I accept its not Radders' signing and maybe one he would not have made but he at least pubicly has to appear positive about it.

Aslong as he can attack & defend wants to train right look after himself he will be ok, hes only playing wing not a pivotal position, so why was it a daft comment?

It was Radford decision to sign Biggs, gentle did enquire, but he signed when radford was in charge.

Not sure why people are moaning, he doesn't count on the cap so it is a no lost situation, he is coming right reasons also, bet could have earnt more money in Union than in League.

Ask him next time you speak to him it was all done by bomber, although it was announced after radders took charge.

Which he can mate. My only worry is his height. At 5,10 he's not the biggest but we'll see on that one.
I've followed his career for years and I've always thought his style is so suited for league. I for one can't wait to see him at the KC.

From what a good source as told me he loves his rugby loves to train but has hated been away from Hull so this can only make him happier, just wish he had been here for pre-season.

Looking forward to see him play for us, think he will be a good addition.

You said people who said he wouldn't cope were stupid.
I disagreed and thought it a daft comment based on that.
That's all.

you can't use past players as comparison unless they have played super league in the last 5 years, rugby league has come a long way since the 80-90's. It seems he is being punished by bath for signing for a league club he is better than the Argentinean wing they have. he will take 3 months at least to get his fitness levels up as i can't remember the last run of games he played. he does run up right and is very strong in contact so that part of his game will be helpful, i think its a useful signing for hull fc and i think he will be a good player when he gets used to league.

no doubt in the mean time every fan/armchair coach on here will keep coming on and slating him a bit like andy powell for us (although he doesn't have the same problems as powell).

If league has come a long way since the 80's-90's then Union has come light years. He's a fulltime rugby player and has been for 10 years or so.

If anything union is as close to league than ever before. Just look at all the ex league coaches kicking around who have been successful in bringing union out of the dark ages and moulding it into the professional sport it is today. So to me previous players who have made the switch, such as Sully who had never even seen a game of league then travelled all the way up from Wales to train Tues/Thurs as well as working full time Imo would of had a far tougher time settling in.
