I meant when the signing was announced. We didn't know King would be poor in his first season.

True.

To be fair, Matt King's first season suggested that we'd been quite fortunate to be outbid. It was easy for us to say that we were glad we hadn't landed him. I'll concede that later on he was pretty good, but I doubt he was ever worth the rumoured £250K.

Of Course now they had his wage to spend it was more like 300k according to some idiots on twitter. One even said 350k lol.

There's also another halfback in the year below Hampshire and Williams.

Don't forget about Chris Taylor.

he was average at hull and is 33. He has looked better since his return to the NRL but still not the kind of target we should look at.

pomelroy the other Sharks centre is a lad i think would go very very well in SL.

well i had no idea he had played for hull i have been watching them since the first game every game he has looked very strong but yeah i didnt know hes background just looks very good Centre to me, but yeah the other Centre looks good too, i think the sharks may do alright this season

He wasn't he was excellent, but he played on the Wing. Much better in his first season, I have just looked at his stats and in his first season with Hull he made 139 tackle busts http://superleague.co.uk/statistics_pla ... eason=2012 Too old now though.

domestically setamata sa is the one. would be tough if we were after a double raid for him and dureau mind but sa is top quality. similarly, daryl millard is another very good sl centre.

Just to add to the other Hull fan, Colin Best was a fantastic winger, never saw him run at full pace as he didnt have to! Great partnership with him on the wing and Ritchie Barnett (Kiwi International) on the centre

Re: Rumours and signings v8 : Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:17 am  

well hes still looks like he can do the business and looks a very good Centre and not showing signs of ageing so if gelling is still to green next season i would have a look at him, like wise with junior sua (not sure on spelling) he has fallen out of favour i think at newcastle.
