I did post on here a few weeks ago that we'd signed someone who was similar to Brett Dallas who had connections to Brisbane but was left scratching my head as was told the certain player didn't exist

. Was also told about another signing then so I'm keeping that to myself now

. It's good to have all them fans in aus keeping us upto date with all these players we could be signing .

Could argue without a pre season also

Probably enough in him experience and natural pace-wise to be good at this level. Success will depend partly on our pivots and structural support play. Both need to be a country mile better next year.

is it a year, or a year with an option, everything I have read so far states just a year?

I'm sure its a year with an option in the club's favour.

but what makes you sure?

(not doubting, just interested to know where people are forming that opinion from)

@James_Smailes: To clarify the Michaels deal at Hull FC. It's one year, but club have an option to extend for a second year

sorry, I missed "reliable source" from my question.

Smailes is a hack.

Looks good enough to challenge our current back line for a place.

I hope he's better than that!

As Sa seems to miss every other match I think Michaels will get plenty of game time.

Michael's is an interesting one,another one with a point to prove alar Talanoa..

Completely agree, if we're using a quota spot to bring a Ozzie over (presumably on good money) he really needs to be a starting player. I'm hoping we play him at centre and tell Yeamo he is surplus to requirement for 2015.

we wont bin Yeamo and Horne and Whiting in the same season.

We're not binning Whiting, Horne's decided to retire and Michaels is a country mile better than Yeaman.

Him and Sa would be the best two centres at the club by a distance, with Yeaman and Logan backing them up I think Centre is sorted next year.*






*Not including Arundel & Crooks for obvious reasons.

so Whiting will still be here next season?

Hope so.

Would be pretty happy with

Lineham/Michaels/Sa/Talanoa

Me too.

Yes, 100% How much game time he'll get is less clear.

i know youtube clips can be miss leading but the quality of those finishes shows some real talent.good lines,steps and speed.hopefully bring the best out of yeaman.not been under pressure to retain the shirt for far to long

Michaels played only his second NRL game of the year yesterday. I saw him play for Burleigh Bears the last two seasons and he didn't stand out in the Queensland Cup, but hopefully he'll really have a point to prove at Hull.

I remember when he first started playing NRL he was very quick, and played on the wing a bit because he's not that big. In the end that's probably the main reason why his NRL career stalled - just not quite big enough for his favoured centre spot.
