how many metres and carries sideways?

I'll reserve judgement until I've seen him in the B&W Hull FC kit, many seem to rate him.

Many rate him as he's..
Made dreamteam 2nd row
Been selected for GB (not easy as a Salford player)
Finished the year as

Top tackle buster in the league
3rd top offloader in the league
4th top carries in the league
5th top meters in the league (Only 1 of 3 forwards in top 20)

You've managed to watch a game were he's got voted by fans across the game as MOM and made 31 tackles 4 busts 22 carries 123m 1 offload no errors no pens and said he was rubbish
It's probably fair to say you're not the best judge tbh

Josh Jones is quality, best second row in the comp this season. Great signing for you imo

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Tue Sep 24, 2019 3:47 pm  

Hope he is as good as Mark Jones was

Josh Jones is easily the best signing we have made for next year imo. He has developed into an excellent back rower.

Good signing but many will disagree with you

Who would you say is the best?

I am a huge fan of Fonua but he is coming to play a position we were already stacked in. I question if he is an unnecessary luxury.

Sao and Satae seem to have lots of promise, but they are relatively unproven.

Ma'u is the one that could go either way. He could rip it up and end up as one of our greatest imports. But he also has the potential to be an expensive flop.

Jones is proven. He has been as good as any second row in SL for the last couple of years.

For me Ma u is the outstanding one if he brings his club form with him and Radford doesnt ruin him by making him another prop.

Agree about Ma'u. Played consistently for a quality Parramatta team. Sao and Satae mostly played in the NZ Warriors reserve system and rarely made the starting 17 for the first team.

Only saw Jones play in SL televised matches but impressed with his displays. Could develop into a useful lock forward.

Luke Gale anyone?

Why would you want a player widely acknowledged as the one if the best if not the best second row forward in SL last season to develop into a useful lock forward? He was a standout in 2019, there is nothing standout about being useful.
