Surprised with this move for Hull, the last thing I thought you guys needed was back rowers. Still a top class signing, just hope he makes it through the NRL season unscathed.

“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club.
Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you.

For everyone getting hung up on cash too, I can tell you we weren't the biggest offer either. He likes the challenge and the ambition here
So we may have paid a chunk but not as much as was offered elsewhere.'"
Go and tell sgtbilko on the leeds forum that mate. |

As statements of intent go they don't get much bigger than this. The fact that we can attract a world class player is a real coup for the club and shows how far the club has come in a short space of time.
I do hope this doesn't mean we will lose Manu, maybe he will come off the bench? Maybe Tickle will go to prop? Either way no doubting Ellis as a player, he was fantastic at Leeds and has won three consecutive player of the year awards at Wests so hopefully more of the same.
On the previous thread and the Leeds rumour, stand by what I was told, I didn't make it up. I got told this last week and on Sunday I got told that we had signed him and it would be announced this week. I posted both rumours on twitter but chose to believe the Leeds one. More than happy to be wrong!!

To be fair just because he's turned down more lucrative offers doesn't mean any of them were from Leeds. |

moa all but gone,tickle could replace him,but think ogre would stay with a good offer,wouldnt like too lose moa n o meley tho!. Keeping manu would mean a lot of money on back row with whiting wanting a new deal too! trust peter G to get it right though!-hard to type when ya phones off like mad with buzzing fc mates!

great player, great signal of intent, wrong position. If briscoe goes, your backline is nowhere near your pack, and this needs sorting. hopefully for you guys, ap will be undertaking the same salary cap accounting as wire and you can have both, but if not, it wont upgrade you where you need it.

What a signing!
A current international, a player regarded as the best in his position in the world, and at his peak - possibly our biggest signing ever, certainly in the SL era.
Credit to Pearson, Gentle & McRae for pulling this off and showing the Faithful (and the rest of SL) that they mean business.
