Good player, good signing.

Will be a good replacement for O'Neill. Still need a decent prop and that will be our starting pack sorted.

benny g is a great player and a great guy

he's a second rower/lock that has played at 5/8th and hooker for the Tigers.

He's the last player left at the Wests Tigers to have played for the Balmain Tigers in first grade.

a real no-fuss crowd favorite

strong, big and only missed getting a blue jersey because of the exceptional tallent ahead of him

Excellent news team taking shape now, the 'Finisher' still to come.

Excellent news, welcome to Hull KR Ben.

excellent news! Welcome to Rovers Benny!!

what a creative nickname

Great news, welcome to your new home Benny!

totally agree jb we need a big prop a good linebreaker as we dont have one and struggled sometimes as a result almost forget welcome to hull kr ben

i expect at least one more addition to the pack, i think a prop/2nd row andmaybe another prop.

I think we now have a linebreaker in Lovegrove, Galea will be a very solid player for us.

as prop?

Must have a pretty good advisor

Ben "Signed for Hull. Best make the most of it. What should I say to make myself instantly popular?"

Advisor "Go with 'I want to help establish, erm, whatever club you just signed for, as the best side in the city'"

Ben "Alright then - 'I want to help establish' *pause* , who is it again?

Advisor "Hull KR"

Ben "Who?"

Advisor "I know, I'm sorry, I did my best"

Ben "Git. I thought it was Hull FC! I know who they are, last years Grand Finalists! Fine."

Ben "I want to help establish *sigh* Hull KR as the best side in the city"

Hull KR fans wet themselves with excitment.
