Think it is a great signing and nice to see Hull signing English players still.

Quicker we send them Aussie back the better

Saints wanted him for next year. So did several other clubs. He may be past his best, but he will finally bring a whole bunch of things that we've desperately needed for years.

Plus we know that he can do the business in SL, which hasn't always been the case for high profile NRL signings.

He's also English, saving us a quota spot and any potential visa issues. And cap space over some of the other names touted around in all likelihood. That gives us more options to strengthen elsewhere.

Looking at the whole package, this is a good signing.

I've not read through this thread what so ever but this is the first post i've read.

And it just about sums it up for me. He's quality we've lacked for so long now and i feel he has the potential to bring us through. And im pretty sure he will. Quality signing im happy...

Also happy with his comments: "It really excites me and I really believe it is going to revitalise my career."

Lets up he revitalises us!!!

He might not be the player he used to be, but he is winner and what we are lacking. So many times have st helens and shaun long come back from a deficit to scrape a win. I don't doubt for one minute that he'll be captain next year.

I think we have employed a new tactic of signing everyones goalkickers.

so if we stop other teams kicking goals we can outscore them in trys and definitely win.

great plan until you realise teams pretty much always score more tries than us

Top talent. If he plays for you like saints you will go well.

However he needs the right coach and will need good conditioning. Do you have it?

Also will he be motivated to move to Hull / commute 4 hours a day?

Mixed feelings on this one....he is deffo what we need and have been missing that goes without saying, but his age is against him and he isn't ripping up trees this year or last (in my opion), although i admit i'm not an avid follower of Saints.

As a side issue.....both new signings have stated "after talking to Agar i was excited at what his plans are" or words to that effect would suggest we have got him (Agar) for next season......i'm really worried about our style of play under him.

as long as another SL club dont sign Orford, Prince or Thurston I will be happy with this signing.

Hope we now go for a big prop and not re-sign cusack on the back of this as we still need go forward.

When do we announce our new coach
