Yeah I was thinking the same. If it's Nielsen we've signed then I hope he's kept himself fit since he was released by St George.

He's been playing in one of lower leagues.

Just one of them things unfortunately.

Better than licensing where we would have ZERO chance of getting back into SL.

It's a complete misnomer calling it promotion and relegation because it is a maybe not a definate:
If 3 SL clubs are top of the new league structure they are where they were before, and if the 4th team finisher is also a SL club, who will play the 5th Finisher at their home venue, and if they win then the 4th finisher SL club goes back into SL??
Where is the promotion and relegation in that scenario???
We have been missold the concept?

Lying down in a darkened room will dispel all doubts!!!

I was listening to BCB before the game and he said it was an open secret that the player is a Kiwi playing in Australia with a bit of "mungrel" about him - but wouldn't name him so it didn't spoil the surprise on Wednesday. So that rules out Nielsen as he was born in Queensland.
Any names for Kiwi's?

He played for the NZ Warriors, they probably just got mixed up.

They could be onto something.
There's whispers that mahe fonoua (sp?) is on his way over here to Hull FC.
He is a tough no nonsense player who runs the ball well. Think he is kiwi and has played over here in the WC.
Would prefer him to Nielsen, personally, as he has been playing regularly in the nrl and is much younger then Nielsen.
Wouldn't think a strike centre would be a priority going into the 8s but I shall reserve judgement till after I see the mystery signing play and what effect they have on the team.

I'm fairly sure Mahe Fonua played in the WCC against Leeds Rhinos in 2013 but played on the wing. He represented Tonga in 2013 in the World Cup.
