Very good signing to add to an impressive pack. Shows what a club can do when it has ambition.

We put a significant offer in acording to that article so i dont think its lack of ambition.

He took the biggest pay packet so good luck on his retirement

Well at least we where in there with a bid, it was always going to be the highest offer wins.

Another great player goes to while away his final playing days at the KC Retirement Home. Ho hum.

I'm gonna have to be as cynical as everyone else - with the amount of offers on the table (apparantly all 14 SL clubs expressed an interest in signing him) I'd have thought there would be numerous clubs ahead of Hull FC if the defining factor was anything other than financial benefit. If, for example, Leeds or Castleford offered more money, would he have still picked Hull for rugby reasons?

World class player and whatever the reasons, Hull have pulled off a major coup.

I very much doubt we made a serious offer.

I think we can probably do without yet more players joining our team who have given their best years somewhere else.
