I dont think its a bad signing. He fits what we required as an experienced back rower to provide back up. Anyone expecting a world class signing at this stage is silly for believing the daft rumours. Like he says in that interview he has had a lot hanging over him lately. If he puts that behind him and works hard to get back to his form of a few seasons ago then we could have made a very good signing.

The fact people believed we would get a big signing did not originate from daft rumours, it originated from the interview Pearson did!...his little speech about wanting to be the best and not afraid to spend money.....and what have we got!

Obst can play backrow now? What happened to second chances?

Did he give a chance to the bloke he beat the poop out of?

Dissappointed. Hope he proves his worth.
Still am not sure how you release Obst and acquire Aspinwall :S

Not the signing that some thought! But he'll do a job for us next season, as will Martin.
As these are both just 1yr deals is it possible that Mcrae/Gentle have long term quality signings lined up for the 2013 season, when they become available??

We aint gonna have that much manouvreability on the cap for 2013.

It was a dangerous driving offence wasn't it?

a) There's a slight difference in the severity of the crimes.
b) Cockayne was afforded 3 chances at Hull KR

Absolutely shocking signing for me. Surely we could have saved both the Martin and Aspinwall money and signed a decent centre?

In an ideal world, I wouldn't have signed Aspinwall, but
a) who else is available?
b) who can we afford?
c) who is off quota?
d) who wants to come to Hull FC?

Why do they have to be off quota? Do we not have a spot now Obst has left?
