Freddy tualagi was at the kc last wk. He is alesanas agent who is currently playing for Leicester.

Correct.

Going to Japan, we can't compete with that.

Logovi'i Mulipolo or Ryan Bower

Props from union wouldn't last 5 minutes in our game.

There's another Tuilagi brother, although as an England international I can't see a code switch in his near future. Do they have any ex-league players?

After a quick shufty on wikipedia, I'm loving the name Billy Twelvetrees. Apparently his nickname at the club is 36, because their club captain is Irish.

Tuilagi was only at kc to check out venues with something to do for union like he did at sirius

Didn't gentle say we would only sign one overseas player.?

He's not over seas

Don't remember him saying that, and i am sure no coach would rule out players till the recruitment is done and dusted.

Heard we're after Vincent Mara'okawi

Matulino is pretty much the form prop in the NRL atm with Casiano. Matulino is twice the player of Masoe and if they ever came together in a cruch there would only be one winner, ask Thaiday. No way of him coming to Hull. Masoe would be good be he too is too good really.

What happened to Shane Shackleton at the Eels, he was a good gingerprop.

Apparently on the Saints board there saying they've withdrawn their offer and Manu is back in talks with Hull.

So much for signed for Saints already.

We don't want saints cast offs

As I've said before it would be great for Manu to stay but for the balance of the team. It would suit us more if he were to move on so we can strengthen else where.

Hope this is true. Just when you thought Frosties was the poster most full of shlte about our recruitment, he's pipped to the post by Backrow Saint.

That's a pretty tough challenge tbf. A lot of the contenders are from the east....

there are still a few FC stalwarts that claim to be "in the know" that haven't been right yet!

Good point

rovers have stepped up their pursuit of manu now saints have pulled out

cant see him going to the dobbins, but wherever he goes about time he made his mind up

Really wanted Manu to stay, but the way he has messed us about I'm not as enthusiastic as I was.

As long as it doesn't get in our way of recruiting a halfback, then I would keep Manu on a 2+1 deal.

Even with Ellis signing I'd guess we have plenty left on the cap.

If Martin, Turner, Ellis, O'Meley, Aspinwall follow McKinnon theres a fair few quid to play with.

Remind me again WHY Manu wanted out , silverware or cash ?

If it was the former then Rovers are out , if the latter then he could be tempted by any club with a cheque book

Will AP now say Manu can stay on much less than we offered when Sts were interested ?
