We're joint top, our best ever start to Super League, unbeaten in five games, with players still to return from injury and two top class players on their way, visas permitting. Yet some people still moan?!

This is Hull FC afterall!

The key word.

If all clubs adopted that viewpoint it would almost certainly signal the end of England on the International stage. The overseas quota was designed to allow clubs to import top quality overseas players who would enhance the competition and in turn aid the devlopment of British players.

Moa doesn't bring anything to the table what so ever imo, but is taking a great deal away from it. Say he does become top class and goes back to aussie to develop his game further what has that achieved for the British game??

have you seen him play?

Have you had this moan on all the other SL clubs message boards (including your own team's, Rovers) or have you just got an issue with FC/Moa.

Different name on the Super League trophy hopefully!!

Say for example we did win SL this year, with Moa being a strong part of the squad for this success. The exposure in the city of the trophy would be huge, fans like to have "favourite" and he seems to fit the bill. Young kids see his as their favourite and start playing the game rather than just watching, these young kids then turn out to be pretty good and get signed onto Hull, or Rovers, academys.

ATEOTD, there is a reason Maloney isnt in the team instead of Moa - we dont know what that is. All we have to go on, is two pretty decent showings, albeit not for very long until his fitness is better - from Moa, and a substandard performance from Maloney in the academy

At Huddersfield last week, why??

And when they are carrying players like Lovegrove that is stopping their British kids develop it does make him look a little silly doesnt it!!

Oh dear

Not trying to and frankly i don't care

Couple of points...

If Hull were to make a habit of this kind of thing, I might have a concern. As a one-off I think it makes little difference.

Moa was signed when we were looking short on props and there were concerns over our pack size. He's now looking less necessary. Hindsight is great.

Theres Lovegrove,Gene and Ben McFisher at least are giving youth a chance like Houghton,Burnett,Lee,Hall,Briscoe and G.Horne. 13 out of Hull 17 are English it will be interesting to see over the next two years how certain teams develop as the overseas quota reduces and reduces. To be fair Rovers have got alot of english players who have come through there academy like Cooke ,Wheeldon ,Briscoe ,Fox and Cockayne . At least Moa is coming over at a young age and we havent a people like Menzies who is 35.
