It's all gone quiet on the tom Biggs front! Does anybody know what's happening there? Is crookes going to be the replacement for briscoe if Biggs doesn't come to hull?

signed 3 yr deal

with who

I've heard that tbh. Also heard were struggling to get him released from his contract with Bath to join up with us for pre season.

www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/o ... -hull-bath Hull have made a rare signing from English rugby union by recruiting Tom Biggs from Bath on a three-year contract. The 29-year-old wing, who has played for the England Saxons and Sevens teams, fits with the declared intention of the club's chairman, Adam Pearson, and newly promoted coach, Lee Radford, to emphasise homegrown talent in the squad, following the successful models of Wigan and Leeds.

Also back page news in the HDM.

Welcome to Hull, Tom. Could be a very good signing, Bath fans sound disappointed that he's leaving.

This could be a great signing, and as good a replacement for Briscoe as we could have possibly got I think. Welcome to the club Tom. Bath fans sound gutted, which is always a good sign.

Welcome aboard Tom.

Looks to have a good broken field running game could be just what we need!

I've looked at your older posts, We have a new Mr "In The Know".



Good signing I think, hope for 1 more big angry scary ass prop as well.

An exciting signing. Steep learning curve but he has the pedigree to do really well. Welcome Tom!

Decent signing. Strong runner, stocky unit, fast, and plenty of enthusiasm. Supporters Player of the Year 2011/12. But is it for now or May?

10 months ago Stuart Barnes said he was the best left winger in the premiership in "just about everything".

He looks to have a never give up attitude what the fans will love.

Never seen him play but sounds like a good signing. Needs a haircut though.

I watched this guy a few times playing for Leeds Tykes (Carnegie) and was always impressed and thought he'd be even better suited to RL and make a good convert.

I cannot recall now whether he took part in any training sessions with the Rhinos or not. I'm sure I read somewhere at the time that he had and having seen him play Union I was hoping the Rhinos might have given him a deal but the next thing he left the club.

If you're patient I think you'll have a very good player

Good news hopefully the type of enthusiastic player the club need more of. Welcome to Hull Tom.

Not getting him until May plus his learning curve, means he isn't going to have much of an impact next season

As soon as his name was mentioned this was the one I wanted. Can't see any problem adapting.

Welcome to the mighty black & whites Tom - Good signing

As a winger I don't see too many problems in him adapting to league

Adapting as a winger; no problem at all. He's a cracking player, I've seen a lot of him playing and he'll be a real favourite at Hull. Great signing, plus a local lad.

We do love a Tom on the wing!!

Very happy with the signing but we need to do all we can to procure his release from Bath ASAP. If we are not getting him till May we won't see much of him next season.

Interestingly no mention in the HDM or our web site when he's joining, but Bath are reporting end of season which for them is May (extended with play offs?)

I thing it will be a case that we are still negotiating the terms on early release from the final few months of his Bath deal otherwise the FC contract would have been 2 and a half or 3 and a half years.
