Stuff like that may slow us down but it's good for the mental battle with the opposition, always good to see defenders go "oh "

Plus it doesn't slow much down if they can get a good offload away ala Willie Manu Good Friday 2011 for yeamo's try from nowhere

Don't disagree, at all.

Slow play of the ball off guaranteed 8/9/10 metres aa carry is worth it. Each forward brings something different and have some good fast play of the balls anyway green, Ellis, Pitts, have great p t b speed.
Plus mickey will tie up extra defenders with his sheer size n off load threat. Could be heaven for Danny n Aaron next yr.

Could the rumour be true regarding McRae in France.. Could we of signed both Paea Brothers?

lets be honest if he was anything close to being as good as hes agent believes he would be back in the nil

matt hilder

How are we in regards to the quota?

Could we even sign the Paea brother.

Personally I think we are ok for props with

Lynch
Watts
Paea
Johnson
Green
Bowden
Wilson

nil? you mean nrl.... and anyways, lets be honest, paea would be used sparringly in the nrl.. as an impact sub/ replacement player IMO...
he came to the uk with the intentions of playing regular and then trying to make it at at a top club, just like moa did, unfortunatly for rovers, it seems his ambitions cant be met in red and white!!

Not bothered if he is good enough for the NRL,been one of the props in the league this, in his prime and just the type of we need.

cant argue with that..id have him over mika, tumarvave for a start!!!

Non-fed -

McDonnell
Holdsworth?
Miller
Paea

Room for one more if we needed it.

Good signing. Great replacement for O'Meley as I was concerned that we might not be able to find a replacement with as much impact as him.

Front row looks good for next year. Lynch, Watts, Paea, Green in the 17 with Bowden and Johnson as cover.

Confirmed by Hull FC (Twitter)

Would Heremia need adding to that list?

Were?? I've looked but couldn't find it.

not as far as I can find

Looking at their stream now and there's no mention of Paea at all. You sure you checked the official feed?

Typical classless behaviour from grudgell the flat track bully.
It was fine when he signed Cooke mid season and then signed Briscoe, hall and hodgson . He then said he wanted to re-sign all the east hull lads.
All of a sudden though, he's up against an owner in AP that is more than a match for him, and he can't handle it.
His behaviour towards a player that has put his body on the line for grudgells beloved club is disgraceful.
Paea is best out of there.
I just pity his replacement (no doubt currently playing for Newcastle knights second team).

Why are they banging on about a replacement for him, they've already replaced him with jason netherton

No, iirc due to him playing at Leigh etc. he qualified for the exemption.

I'm happy to be corrected on that though, as I'm only 90% sure.

I expect the club to deny his signing, tbh. Or at least a 'no comment'.

Either way, doubt they'd announce it in the build up to a game.

With bitter men like Hudgell and mad men like Koukash i am once again very thankful that we have AP at the club making sensible investments

Or just keep quiet and let Hudgell carry on embarrasing himself.

Or that.
