There are British players as good as Taulapapa and they cost 2 or 3 times as much.

If Misi is with Rovers in 2012 it is because he is a speculative nothing much to lose type signing.

However he is taking up a valuable non-fed slot that is the problem. Only one such slot left now that Paea is confirmed.

And if the stories about Mcdonnall are true then we are full.

Shortest ever career since Bradford signed Mickey Higham?

Is it true if so think it bit out of order to be honest, shouldn't have rushed and signed him if they didn't want him.

I liked the look of him, thought he returned the ball well, went missing in the final though.

Forgot to watch, when we got promoted I really intended to keep an eye on the Championship, haven't given it a second look, disgraceful.

surely there must be any number of british outside backs instead of 33 year old tony martin eh jake

They have.

I'm not quite sure Tony Martin is such a bad signing, would we complain if we signed Beaver?? At 33 he's done the job at Crusaders and been a stand out at centre. He is tall, big buid and pretty quick, he can also catch cross field bombs with ease. Ok he isn't Martin Gleeson and it will be a shame if Turner isn't kept in the centres because he's come in to his own there this past season but they need depth in the outside backs.

He isnt tall, hasnt a big build and hasnt the pace that he once had. Apart from that a fair summary. Please dont compare him with all-time great Steve Menzies either.

At least the hull fans attempting to put a positive spin on it have blind optimism as an excuse. I can only assume you've knocked off early for the weekend and are blind drunk.
