Fair enough.
You are right about it being used before.................That was before FC used it BTW.

Anyway back on topic please guys.

Will have to try to judge him on his own performances and not compare him to his brother who IMO was a stand out player this season. He sounds bullish and up for it and sounded very honest when he said he had taken a backwards step in recent years. Keep him injury free and hopefully 2/3 years down the line we will have another quality prop on board.

the Cas fans don't seem to be too bothered that he's leaving.

They aren't. However he's better than Jordan Thompson before anyone has a go!

Of course

3 knee ops and only a youngster, reason why hull pulled out, big risk but like feka with us maybe one worth taking

It will be easy to tell the difference.
Adam doesn't have the horrible ass tattoo's on his arms.

Element of risk in all signings - especially in this market. How will Keating/Weyman/Costigan settle and adapt? Does Langley have too many miles on the clock? The only way to get anything close to a sure thing is to pay through the nose, which has obvious downsides.
It just has to be balanced sensibly and as best as possible across the squad. On what's been announced so far, I'm fairly optimistic.

Wasn't it Chris and Des Harrison who were the brothers. Great hair and taches. Looked like the Stylistics circa the 70's. Chris was a good player big tackler and strong runner but hampered by knee injuries.
Des was good at putting fires out.
Was Dave Harrison related to them. Don't think he was if it is the little hooker I'm thinking of. He was a decent player too.

Why offer him a deal in the first place then?

Dont think the Shudds fans where either when we signed Adam, look how that worked out.

Will be interesting watching our two packs build up this year.

Especially with the World Cup and spotting potential targets. Should be a very very good 2014.

If memory serves me right and sometimes it doesn't. I believe he came to Hull Uni as a student and played for us during his course, once graduated he for an occupation rather then his rugby career. He wasn't related to Chris and Des.

Difference being,Adam hadn't had 3 serious knee injuries at a very young age,only time will tell I suppose.
