Be a big loss to let sam go. I dont think we do have to many props we have Yak,dowes,lauaki and ogre what if 1 or 2 get injured ? Also yak only got 1 more year left and sam only 23 . Be great to bring lauaki and sam off the bench

We do look a little light in the backs but if we add Sam Moa to next season's already strong pack, IMO, we will have the best pack in SL.

Every good team starts with a good pack and that pack with big Sam would be easily the best pack that we've seen at Hull for many years. It would also make it much easier to bring in young players like T&J Briscoe, C Hall, R Lynne etc.. because with a dominant pack, those young kids would be able to express themselves much more while being "looked after" by some monsters up front.

If we can pick up one or two British backs then fine, but a huge pack, IMO, should always be the first priority.

I agree. The best backs and half backs in the world can do little if they are playing behind a beaten pack.

The issue isn't always size, an agressive, mobile, pack can also dominate, we need more agression up front, which I am led to believe the signings we've made will bring.

I agree but in O'Meley, Lauaki, Moa, Fitz, and Manu we will have more size, aggression, impact and intimidation than any other pack in SL.

It's not just about size but that pack would be a fantastic platform for whatever back line that we put behind it.

Sign up big Sam and then worry about finding one or two backs because that pack would enable us to take the odd liberty or two with our backline, perhaps in the shape of a Lynne or a J Briscoe being able to come through and shine.

IMO, it would be a win-win situation.

I agree totally and it's one of the main reasons why we've struggled so much.

Fitz and O'meley arent scared to give it a bit of biff it needs be...add to that Moa (if he stays),Radford and Houghton.....we will have a pack that will be aggresive.....this season we are top of the fair league table....hope we arent next season.

Fack the Fair League Table, you don't win anything by being a nice namby pamby pack. Bring on the big units and lets see some BIFF at the KC next season

Best hang onto Josh Cordoba then !!

For all his hype I’ve yet to see an aggressive display from Radford in a Hull shirt yet. I have no reason to doubt his ‘handy’ work off the pitch, but I’ve yet to see anything on the pitch to warrant the ‘enforcer’ tag he seems to carry. Lauaki inspired the team more in one game then Radford has in all his time at Hull. Nothing against Radford who I believe is a very solid, hard working back rower but that’s all IMO.

The best ever 'Enforcer' game for us was v Saints in the CC semi when Kearney made James Graham his bitch for the day.

Well in the Quins game when the ruckus was going on...LMS didnt want anything to do with Radford and tried avoiding him when Radford came in....maybe his reputation goes before him and they pick on other players instead.

I find it hard to justify him in next season's pack at all !!
