I agree sandra, I work with some wire fans who reckon asotosi (or whatever his name is) will be better! I doubt it, FC have got themselves an awesome prop! But roll on sunday #wearehullkr

I'll support both players, although I've got my reservations.

I'm not comparing them to Paea, what I'm saying is that we've made a mistake in letting him go.

However, I'm not in control of the cap distribution at Rovers and props are generally far, far cheaper than half backs and as we're all aware, that's the priority.

Agree, I would rather have kept Paea than sign Weyman for the fact we know what we have with Paea, Weyman could be a star or a flop, who knows.

Might be in the minority here, but I don't class him as having been a great Rovers player. Poor and lazy one year, good the next (when trying to get in the shop window it would seem).
Sod him, another guy who's main motivation in the game is cash, he'll drop Hull too as soon as a better offer comes in.
Give me a young English kid like Cox who appears to love the club any day.

I hope your wearing your Kevlar.

I don't think hes as good as some make out but I wouldn't say poor and lazy.

He can't just "drop" us, he'll have to be ooc.

Cap isn't the issue non-fed spots are, Paea had one as did Mika.
We have replaced Paea and Mika with Weyman and Costigan directly.

Also let us not forget that Paea was playing NSW Cup and couldn't get a run of games in the NRL due to injuries which he seems to be past now, Although these things can turn around again just as quickly.

Looking at the pedigree of players I have mentioned it's a no brainer really IMHO.

Bit harsh when you consider when he arrived at Rovers he had been playing feeder-league grade, and how it took him most of last season to get his fitness levels up to standard.

I agree Paea cannot be classed as a great player but he has been a very good player this season for Rovers, and if Gentle plays him correctly, his track record with Watts and Galea suggest otherwise, then he will continue to improve at FC.

I'm a big big fan of Michael Weyman, so when he has had a 6 or so matches for Rovers I will be more than interested to hear your assessment.

IMO we won't have to wait too long before Weyman hits the straps - we had to wait almost a season for Paea. Plus, defensively Weyman is streets ahead, and with all of his NRL experience I am tipping him to be wearing the captains armband.

Not a great, but he had one decent season and one excellent.

They're pretty much all in it for the money (it's kind of what the sport was founded on) - it is the nature of pro sport. Imagine you played for one of the Sydney clubs and one of the others offered you more cash. Bearing in mind it is a short career and loyalty on the other side soon runs dry when your form or fitness aren't so good, imagine telling your wife that you've turned down money that could help secure your futures. It's their livelihoods.

If he's played his last game for us, it is a big, big loss and our hold on a play-off spot would feel a little bit looser.

Is that a possibility?

Rumour was a few weeks and CS said 'the foreseeable' so with this being round 24, I'd guess so. But it is just a guess.

I heard last night Paea wont play for Rovers again he is out for the rest of the season.

Lets hope his old injury problems are not coming back to haunt him
