Oh he would be a.goof signing.
From what I remember, he was rapid, a lot of strength and could score difficult tries.
I'm on board with that one

We definitely need a quality centre like Lafai or Leutele but I'm not sure about releasing a quota prop.

If Pele goes that leaves us with Ese-Ese, Sao and Ashworth. I don't think that is enough quality as I would regard Fash and Aydin as squad players only.

If we could bring in a quality federation prop to plug the gap it would solve this. We probably would have to pay a transfer fee to facilitate this.

That's a pretty daft decision.

Out of interest,where has this rumour come from?

we could look something like

Stewart - Moy
Briscoe - Barron
Hardaker - Chamberlain
? (Lafai) - Litten
? (Murphy) - Martin
Trueman - Harman
Abdull - Charles

Ese’ese - Aydin
Bourouh - Smith
Sao - Gardiner
? (Whitehead) - Lane
Cartwright - Staveley
Asiata - Jebson

Rimbu - Dawson
Holmes - Armstrong
Fash - Laidlaw
Ashworth - Wainhouse

Massive improvement in a season

Walmsley will do a job.

Unfortunately there is going to be an area that we miss out on, we have 5 experienced props plus Staveley and a good of others.

No point in having a quota prop who isn't good enough to make the current 21 man squad.

Centre is a bigger priority than Prop.

Even if the club are confident of doing a deal for Rimbu I think it will be a while before that’s officially done because we’ll have to negotiate a settlement with someone at the club. The club won’t have much leverage in those negotiations if the player in question knows that we’ve already signed someone up!

Always injured. Could do much better

Agree, though it could well be that moves for any other additional quota player is only being done following settlement agreements, as no point looking if a player doesn't agree to a release settlement etc.

Brisbane releasing some players at the end of the season , Taupau , Staggs , Corey Jensen and Kobe Hetherington.
Staggs is a decent centre but probably get snapped up within the NRL.

Staggs will be bang in contention for Origin 2.
We can dream of course.

No chance of Staggs coming to SL, very good NRL, played fir Australia at the end of last season.

Thought we might have picked up a Brisbane player with the Cartwright connection.

dont agree
The Asiata signing was a statement but since then the quality of UK signings is poor.and our backline and halfbacks will be the slowest in S/L.
Top six was easily possible with several quality overseas players and by binning Sao,Okunbor and possibly Pele we still could have the overseas halfback,Nine and centre that we need.
The club have gone the route of fillers with experience in the hope that some of our younger players will become regular S/L players in two or three years.
These players are not going to put bums on seats next season.Another two or three big names would have done

Probably time for you to quit Hull FC and this forum. I'll back you all the way, no way should you have to put up with this super slow backline.
