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.

Thats a fair enough point actually.

I do remember though how not that long ago people were saying how Maloney would be a great signing and could be a future GB international etc etc, now nobody seem to want to know him.

This is the point I've been trying to make recently. I'm not for one minute agreeing with GG at this stage, but conversely how on earth have you seen enough in half an hour to be so blindly convinced of Moa's potential?

The entire culture of snap judgements on players amongst many Hull fans is quite frankly laughable IMO.

I agree with you there however the biggest cheer of the afternoon greeted him onto the pitch and you could just about feel the earth move when he hit Burgess, so as a crowd pleaser and a bit of a side show he is doing fine and a few will come on Friday just to have a look! His contract payment is very small and he is obviously enjoying being here. For me the jury is still out but he has shown more promise in 25 minutes than a certain other project showed in a full season!!
