Faraimo out and McIntosh in would be a very good move for Hull.

I like Bureta but he has disciplinary issues and McIntosh is much younger and British. He's also very pacy.

Good young player, lots of pace, him and Swift on the wings would be great.

Think we need another prop and a hooker then I'll be happy.

I'd be chuffed to bits with Mcintosh. Young, pacey and a natural finisher.

Offers cover at fullback too

I've just looked at the OOC list and there are 3 hookers who are worth a look at
Liam Hood
Danny Walker
Josh Eaves

I'm going to reserve judgement on this one for the the time being. He's young, he frees up a quota spot and he brings a bit of pace, so compared to Faraimo I'd agree it's a good move. But he's just never really exited me as a player. Never looked like a difference maker to me, just someone who is reliable and not much else. Now we are linked I will watch him more closely and see if my opinion changes.

What about overseas?

Good signing. Adds pace to our back line. Think farimo will do well at Cas.

Silivia Halivi is a guy I'd take a look at. Tonga number 9, and shared the hooking role at Canberra with Hodgson until recently.

The emergence of Tom Starling has pushed everyone down the pecking order at the raiders. Even Hodgson is rumoured to be off to Brisbane.

Ideally yes, but as it stands we only have one non fed free and I think we need to use that for a prop.

We could release Ma'u, but that we then need another big backrower.

Ideally we could release Fonua and sign an overseas prop and hooker, but someone would have to sign Fonua off us.

An overseas hooker I'd try and sign would be Joey Lussick, went back to the NRL, but wasn't getting a game early season. Thought he was fantastic for Salford.

Hearing Ma'u agreed another year, I'd have let him go or hope its on a reduced contract, good piece of business with McIntosh very young, fast, over 100 games and English free's up quota for BIG PROP.

On the limited times I've seen him, inalways thought he looked decent, certainly alot of potential. Nothing on the Hudds forum,but I've had a look at the Huuds fans Facebook page, all disappointed and say he has been very good for them when playing on the wing.

Looking at the OOC players, there is only really Tom Davies who is available and better, but even he has had bad injury problems and looks set to stay in France

Offered Davies a deal but he's staying at Catalans.
