Officially announced, 2 year contract, certainly means more competition for places in the back row, welcome Chris

Not a bad Signing, welcome to hull chris!

I thought he had already signed a three-year deal at Wakefield, but oh well. A good signing for me. Welcome to the black and white jersey Chris. Do it justice.

we don't really need back rowers, but we could do a lot worse than Tuson, welcome to the mighty black and whites Chris

he'd gone back on the wakey deal after their recent financial wobbles, I wonder if we've paid any compensation to them but I wouldn't imagine so as the media made out it was Tuson who got him self out of the deal not us.

He had but they have already sold 2 players under contract, this being the third, don't know if there was a fee or because he hasn't played for Wakefield that hes been allowed to move with out cost?

Good addition, big upgrade on Tickle IMO. Gives us someone with a bit of niggle.

Good signing of a player who before he signed for wakey turned down a 2year deal to stay Wigan which says a lot to me . He's coming from great stock and culture of professionals and winners

Cheers for the clarification. Like I say, good signing. Tough player.

As said on the other thread, not convinced we needed another defensive forward.

As poor as tickle was last season, he is a much better attacking forward than Tuson.

Anyway he has signed and I hope he proves me wrong.

Good luck Chris.

Prop and winger next.

Think under-rated player and could be really good signing

How was Tickle a better attacking forward? Granted he was put on crash balls near the line, but had little else to his game. He had no offload or passing ability at all and gave penalties away (usually for laying on). Not saying Tuson is SBW like, far from it, just don't get how you can say he's a [imuch[/i better attacker. Tickle's major strength was the power in his tackles.

Not bad signing

Yes it says he's a idiot.

Good quality signing.
Very pleased with that. Wigan still wanted him when he signed for Wakey which says it all.

As stated some time ago Tuson was still welcome at wakefield should he decide to come. He was given the option to nagotiate elsewhere should he wish as at Wakey there were some signing lined up to come along side Tuson (Sure Adam Swift was all but signed) but the finances reared their heads.

Wakey were good enough to do the correct thing by Tuson. He should go well for you and although I don't see tickle much I think I'd rather have Tuson than tickle any day.

Part of me thinks we could have made someone pay a few for him but that wouldn't have been very tasteful given the situation. Wakeys loss is hulls gain but we aren't struggling for good second rowers so could be been worse.

Not once in Danny Tickle's duration with us did I see him as an attacking forward. I agree with you, barring coming on to a short ball near the line, which nine times out of ten was put down, all he was was a solid back-rower who could kick a dead ball. A good salary off the cap.

Pleased with this signing, he should go well for us.

Tickle has 4 times as many offloads and twice as many tackle busts in less games and playing for a worst team, who can't attack.

Very happy with this signing, a good strong back rower coming into the peak of his career. An upgrade on tickle IMO.

Totally agree with you, there is no way anyone can surely believe that Tickle is a better attacking backrower.
Much rather have Tuson over someone like Mika, but was he really needed? Needed another impact prop much more than a back rower. But seeing as we signed a back rower, it should of been someone in the same mould as Manu. We're never going to improve our predictable attacking signing grafters.

An upgrade on the Tickle of 2013 who had become something of a penalty machine, couldn't pass a ball and is injury prone. Prior to that Danny T has been a great servant to the club both as a 2nd rower and a supreme goal kicker, but the timing of his departure is err timely.

Happy with this signing as mentioned coming from a winning and disiplined culture at Wigan. Welcome to the black & whites Chris.

How old was Tickle when he first signed for us?

Fits the mold of young and English, agree we need a prop more, but then people tell me a couple of the young players could be making a step up.

Correct , says it all . Very good signing .
