Prefer this signing to Mcgoldrick.

It also eases the rush for Biggs to come or be ready for SL.

Lineham, Crookes and Talanoa.

Think if Biggs comes early the club will look to release Crookes.

Read a few comments about Talanoa on the Souths forum, all say the same great finisher and strong runner, but had problems in defence and high ball. All think he will do well in SL.

A very big unit for a winger it used to work for the bulls having 2 big wingers. hopefully he will get back to how he was as a youngster. thats a good try scoring ratio 40 in 95 games in the NRL. How long as he signed for?

Good idea Jacko!

Con - Knowing how little wingers get the ball in RU playing 3rd grade won't have helped his (non) ability to catch.

Pro - Been a bin man might have.

I'd hope he gets a year to prove himself, doubt he will be on a high wage, so a year would be beneficial for all parties.

No he's not.

Can I just ask, where is this confirmed?

Atleast we have signed cover if out else till Biggs is up to speed with league. So we cant complain. Dont think they would have signed him if hes not going to put the effort in.

Got an even better idea for you.

How about letting him actually play for the club before saying he's not good enough.

Hull Daily Mail bud.

AP in the HDM.

Can I have a contract then?

Pearson announced it last night during interview on Radio Humberside.

AP confirmed contract agreed for Talanoa and young Halfback on blunderside last night all subject to them getting their visa's

What you like as a stand off???

If Radford and Pearson thought you where a good enough a player they might offer you one

Once you have scored 40 trys in the NRL you can.



The guy must have something about him, if he is rubbish it wont be end of the world, not exactly a key position and we have good cover there.

Nice interview with him here: www.couriermail.com.au/sport/rug ... 6589455147 The guy had made nearly 100 appearances in the NRL and has a try ratio of nearly 1 in 2. He must have something about him, and I'm pretty certain that he'll be an improvement on crookes.

Good interview, positive to see a big NRL club tried to sign him last season.

It's a gamble but at 25 It's got to be worth the risk.

Not saying this is the halfback we've signed but what would people think if it was Chris Sandow considering his gambling problems..

Just been talking with a friend and he just mentioned that Sandow tweeted the other day he'd been offered a contract by a Superleague club

It defiantly happened. I mean who wouldn't turn Brisbane Broncos down to work on the bins.

Paul McNicholas is doing the recruiting from Australia and he is a friend of Talanoa, it's jobs for the boys.

Sounds like Sandow's nailed on then, after all it was posted on a spoof twitter account.

I'm 100% certain Hull have not agreed a deal purely because he's a mate of Paul McNicholas.
