Getting him on a 1 year deal seems like a shrewd signing, especially given that there seems to be a couple of really quality hookers available in 2017.
To be fair though, I think Falloon will be a really effective player for us, running off the back of Cuthbertson's offloads. He's better than Aiton, and is very nippy around the ruck.

I just hope he isn't another Aussie Champaign Charlie.

I'm glad we have a hooker sorted now for however long he stays let's hope Falloon can prove himself.

I can confirm I have not signed for the rhinos, but always nice to be in people's thoughts

I'm happy that we've signed a proper no 9. He should be eager to prove himself. If he's married or in a stable relationship I hope he's brought or going to bring his partner with him.
I wonder if his contract has any extension options - mind you that didn't help us to keep hold of Aiton.

I thought the big wing, Jim was back for a minute

Reminds me of McIlorum but with ability.

No complaints from me - Looks good and Packs looks like it will be a hard hitting 'construct' with some speed and agility all round - Cant wait

A little surprised that Falloon has singed for just a year - surprised on Falloon's behalf and not that GH persuaded him into such a short contract.

A great signing for what we need right now. I'm a big fan of Aiton, but Falloon is an upgrade on all fronts (onfield anyway). He's a better defender, distributer and scooter.... Vey happy this is confirmed and look forward to seeing our pack play off his distribution.

.....still, the name (and the hair).

There is obviously something in the sleeve for next year. Looks like we are keeping all options open which is good.

We are now set for next season with anything additional coming in being a bonus, hopefully a Sam Burgess shaped bonus.

Good increase for our mis-spelt player count. Should form a good unit with Burrows and Maguire.

Notice a few tries from dummy half in that highlights reel...someone better take him to one side and explain Leeds don't do that (we seem to concede a fair few though)

A 1 year deal makes me think we have someone else lined up for 2017. Maybe the Clark deal? Giving Wire time to find a replacement? No inside info, only a thought.

Certainly seems as though he can [isniff[/i out the try line. I'm not going to be [icrack[/iing open the champagne just yet, he still has alot to prove. The most important thing is that he has good [ilines[/i of distrubution with our outside backs, who are real [ispeed[/i merchants. I think if he can get that [ipacked[/i down, and keep his [inose clean[/i, he should be a good signing.

Drugs.

Great signing. I thought Paul Aiton would take some replacing but in Beau Falloon i think weve aquired an even better Hooker.

Better to keep your thoughts to yourself. Daz going nowhere, not now or in a year's time.

source?

Well I'm happy to share my thoughts because I'm capable of having more than one at once.

I know where saying GH is being cagey by giving Falloon a one year deal and see how he goes but it could also be that Falloon only wants a one year deal to let the dust settle (oopps!!) in Oz before returning. Strange that weve been searching 3 months for a hooker and the best we can come up with is a one year deal ???

No it was all part of GH's masterplan to make all the other SL clubs offer their existing no9s better deals - Roby, McCllorum, Milner, Clarke etc better long term deals so that they all have less money to spend on other players for their squads.
Clever, very clever...

He'll need to up his game a fair bit but who knows? He's got a year to prove he's good enough.

....Not even GH is that clever surely?

I have to say I am very happy with the recruitement for next year now. I can only assume and have faith that the club has something up the sleeve's sleeve for the longer term !!!

We will now once again see that lovely interaction between the hooker and the off loading skills of Cuthbertson becomimg even more prevalent and an even better joy to behold than what we witnessed with Aiton.

Think we still need to bring in a second rower. Especially with Minchella leaving, potentially Achurch leaving and JJB out for the beginning

I said elsewhere that maybe Lauititi should be given a similar year's contract.....but either way I have faith in the club to do what is needed. The fact we obviously tried to sign Westerman demonstrates the club is aware of what else is required.....

Hooker was the big void that needed to be prioritised and we have been satisfied IMO.

Others are stating we also need a half back, which would be nice, BUT Lilley has shown he can cover SH adequately....and I also believe Golding looks good enough to be trained into covering SO. Indeed SO might be his better long term option if he sticks around alongside Hardaker commanding the FB spot. Sutcliffe could be moved to LF longer term.

I could easily see that if next season works out well for both parties a 12 month deal could very easily turn into a longer deal. From the "show real" he looks a very decent signing. Hopefully if he settles in the UK well and finds his way to the appropriate white line often enough he could be our Hooker for a few seasons. A smart deal for and by both parties for mine
