First game was in 1967, and have been hooked since day 1. Now live in Vancouver, Canada but follow our team any way I can.

I’m gutted he’s gone.
But I agree with few others that if 660k is what it would have cost to potentially keep him, that would not at this stage of our clubs plan have been a wise move.
I believe our 5 year plan is foremost to create a self sustaining SL club that constantly competes in the top 6. As much as success on the field is a key part, to try to do that by retaining one player, at the cost of other vital areas, is not big picture planning.
I would dearly have loved to see him sign and stay, but I believe there is a reason it has not happened.
(Plus how many other quality players and future quality players can $660 bring if we do have that available).

I too am saddened by this, however I would love to know how much of a rise in salary is that,it must be huge compered to what he’s on now. I’m a little confused as a few weeks ago Lammy said our retention was going well and we had pretty much got who we wanted to keep sorted. I hope this is the only one that comes out of the blue. Good luck to John. Please let’s get the coach sorted and announced ASAP.

its dissappointing we fished him out the bin when his nrl contract had been torn up. reckon he stil would have been on six figures plus perks with us. 220k unlikely to fit in our jigsaw. was he the player with agent saying one thing agent another about resigning

Asiata has revealed the actual motivations behind the move.

He said: “I’m really excited for the new challenge that lies ahead for me at Hull FC.

After speaking to Richie Myler, it’s clear that we are both on the same page in wanting to help this club to being better than ever before.

Thank you to Adam, Richie and the Hull FC family for having faith in me. I really look forward to getting stuck in with the boys once the time comes."

I think it would be better if Asiata said these things after the season ends. I know he will be professional and give 100% for Leigh until his contract ends but those comments don't sit well with me. I want people like Hanley and Adrian Lam, saying how much they love being at Leigh. I'm a Leyther through and through and supported them for 60 years, and as far as I'm concerned Asiata can go now if he can't wait to be with his Hull family. I can't feel the same about him now.

At the end of the day he’s gone for the money and the three years. He will be 35 at the end of his contract.Worse still would be if Lammy followed him. I doubt this will happen as he has said he loves his job at Leigh and is half way through a five year plan. Does he want to walk away from that and start all over again rebuilding another squad completely.

If it was all about the money, then I have no doubt he could have found a place in the NRL for more money.

What's everyone's opinions on Lam possibly jumping ship?

Glad we've managed to secure Asiata. Wouldn't mind Ipape too :wink:

Still a long way to go until we have a classy chairman who laughs at other clubs going bust and doesn’t pay players.

By the way, enjoy your battle for 3rd from bottom lmao
