Well done Hull FC. I think this lad is an excellent signing. It gives the club huge strength in the forwards. That said and I know the club have said he is not a replacement for Crocker I feel that he is an insurance policy should Crockers Visa be declined again. If Crocker does come the Hull pack will run riot.

If Crocker comes to Hull how do you think the coach will rotate the team around. Will Tickle play the full 80 because he is the kicker? Will Radders play at prop when needed?

Good Lord man I'm as excited as last years Mr Excited winner of 2008.

If the rumours are true he actually asked for and was granted a release by the Warriors

They approached him and asked him to ask as far as i know so that they could go for Eastwood.

I hope he really does well, are we going to rotate the forwards though. Who will get dropped? Does this mean Whiting will miss out completely?

Lauaki will probably play prop. Tickle, Radford, Crocker, Manu and Washy will propably compete for 4 spaces with us potentially using all 5 at the expense of Houghton on the bench for certain games.

It will cause serious competion for places at last. and if Sam Moa plays as well as he did in the world cup Agar and Sharp are really going to have some headaches over team selection

What ever way he got his release it still means we didn't pay a transfer fee for him

He was actually signed to the warriors until the end of the 2010 season, did we have to pay a transfer fee to get him out of his contract?

They were really close to salary cap so they will be gald to get him off the cap. Plus I think they have a youngster in there youths who has great potential waiting for a call up to the first team, who won't be earning much.
