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 !!

O'Meley
Berrigan
Cusack
Fitzgibbon
Burnett
Washbrook

Moa
Manu
Lauaki
Houghton


Dowes ?
Snitch ?
Tickle ?
Whiting ?

The thing with Radders is that he is respected on the field, players know not to mess with him - end off. However, like you say he doesn't mix it by adding loads of aggression to the pack. Players like Hame are both hard and like to mix it ala Fitz and O'Meley. Now i aint the biggest Radders fan, but feel that we miss him when not on the field.

Hame having a dust up against Quins inspired the team, cos no-one apart from Josh Cordoba has shown that aggression all season. Interesting that it has taken 2 players who have been at the club for minutes to show our lot up in the biff states!

.
To get the best out of lauaki is not to play him in a foreign position like prop, play him in his natural position of second row. this is where he got test honours and this is where he won MOST EXPLOSIVE FORWARD IN NRL award. Better when he is exploding into the channels. This is why we need BIG SAM MOA signing up as he is a natural impact prop. Get fed up of seeing people playing out of their natural positions!! Only my opinion


A MOA IS FOR LIFE, NOT JUST FOR A SEASON.

Not going to happen mate, there taking the p1ss big time with Sam, feel realy sorry for the guy busted a gut to prove himself and was desperate to stay

Heard 2 seperate things today regarding agar god do we need rid of him if he goes rounding speaking about players like this and the treatment of some of them
