....and over on the other side our old friend Denton reckons we are done recruitment wise and is not happy with the make up of the squad (for example he would have kept thompson). however even he could not rubbish this signing

Note Radford got his customary bagging. It's quite clever how he manages to do it. I wonder if he talks about him in his sleep.

I don't know which is more of a concern, that he spouts it, that he believes it or that he thinks others agree.

Or that people are still following him!

FFS who cares what he posts, he's not on here anymore.

All the posters who regularly mention him presumably?

If only AP had acted on his beautifully drafted petition?

Don't follow the NRL closely but judging by reactyions on here he'll be fun to watch!

As an aside - Hull already seem to have a lot of overseas players to me and have signed a couple more. I can't keep track of the rules on it these days but you seem to have far more in the squad than I would expect the rules to allow, but maybe I'm completely wide of the mark.

Edit: Faraimo, Tuimavave, Kelly, Minichello, Manu, Paea, Naulago plus Ma'u and Fonua on the way?

Manu, Mini and Paea will leave at the end of this season. Naulago is exempt.

Minichello retiring
Manu - probably retiring
Naulago - British Passport

For completeness, there is also Andre Savelio, but given that Talanoa left us earlier this season, its like for like when it comes to quota spots.

By my reckoning

Faraimo
Tuimavave
Kelly
Paea
Ma'u
Fonua

Paea is OOC at the end of the season, not sure about Tuimavave. Kelly contracted but could be attracting attention from NRL?

Andre Savelio has played for England U18's so I doubt he takes up a quota spot.

Savelio is British, his family moved here before he could walk. He's played for England at junior level.
