Galea signs a one year deal with Hull FC

A risky signing given his age but I feel better about this after the news that Tickle is staying. Galea brings plenty of experience and hopefully the fans will get beind him.

Good signing for a year and bring a massive amount of experience to the side.

No problem with this, if, as I said when it was rumoured, it's a Radford style signing. A squad player, in a coaching/mentoring role playing when needed. Clearly he wants to play, but the value of his experience is just as important?

Welcome Ben

I'm a little indifferent about this signing, mainly because it says to me that Whitehead/Bateman are not coming and we may have missed out on other big signings.

However, I think that we're all learning to trust implicitly Gentle's judgement on these things as has been very much proven with the Goldie, Aspinwall, Pitts etc. signings.

Welcome to Hull FC BEN ! In Gentle we trust

Hmmmm i am not sure on this signing....but saying that i was not either with goldy......

hope he turns out to be a brill player for us...

welcome to the club ben....

oh and i hope this does not mean some of the other signings have fallen through

Not sure to be honest this man is Hull KR through and through.
If it's at the expense of O'Meley being given another year than I'm disappointed.
I'll be honest I don't know what to make of it.

Lynch
Watts
Pitts
Green
Bowden
Ellis
Tickle
Westerman
Whiting
Kent

And were expecting to sign 2 or more forwards?

How many injuries are we expecting, I just don't see where he'll fit in

As with every signing now I have the attitude of I won't pre-judge. As proven a few times this season PG is coach for a reason.

Also on a side note I see Scott Taylor gave Ben a special mention on twitter last night as I assume Ben never got any recognition from HKR at their end of year awards and changed his profile pic to him with Ben. So I think Ben may have a point to prove to NH and Sandercock.

So welcome to Hull FC Ben.

Happy with this signing. Bags of experience, great hands and runs good lines. Will also help the young players at the club. He should also improve our ability to get the ball.wide a bit quicker.

We should produce a Tevez style banner saying WELCOME TO HULL!

Welcome Ben

In Gentle we trust! Welcome to Hull Ben

hope we do give the ogre another contract,afterall,if we can give galea one who is 3 years older than the ogre,and never played for fc,i know who i prefer.this is only my personal opinion.

in normal circumstances if Agar had signed him I would have been very critical but I have been proved wrong three times this season with Gentles signings (Martin, McGoldrick and Aspinwall and I wondered a bit about Watts' attitude too) so I'll trust in his judgement because lets face it, whatever the length of his contract Peter knows his job will be on the line along with everyone elses, if we don't make the progress that Pearson demands.

Another experienced head to guide our young guns in their development. I'm sure that we'd not have signed him unless he fitted in to PGs master plan.

Welcome Ben. The Derby is going to be just that little bit tastier
