I think a one year deal us about right for him, think he would be a good signing and I would be gutted seeking him play for you.

You should be going all out for Harrison Hansen

I'd be gutted seeing him play for us also

Would be a good signing, certainly as a 4th prop better than some props you have, really under used at Hull by Radford.

We bought Tilse in a panic, and now we're stuck with him .....I don't think we'll make the same mistake twice!

Tilse was one of my men of the match against both Wigan & Warrington and a massive part of why we are heading to wembley in 17 days. Think your comments are quite disrespectful. You don't play 200 NRL games and not be able to play.

As for Paleaasina, Would I take him in place of Green, Allgood, Tilse & Walker, you'd be mad to IMO. I'd also rather we tried to talk Puletua out of retirement or take Greenwood from Wigan on a fulltime deal.

If the rumour surrounding Kirmond & Clarkson are correct then we'll be a in a strong position in the forwards next year.

200 NRL games yet he couldn't break wind nevermind a tackle, not seen much of this top offloading game yet from him either. Disrespectful or not the guys still got a lot to prove IMO.

Whisper it quietly but FC look strong next year we need a couple of barnstorming nasty forwards and one more top class back not fussed what position maybe fb

Hull's recruitment for next year, while the names they're bringing in are fairly impressive, their strategy for signings is quite bizarre. If there was one place you would say that Hull didn't need to strengthen it is back row. With Ellis and Minichello their two best players, backed up by Westerman, Thompson, Whiting, Sa (leaving I know), Turgutt and Abdull it would seem like this is an area that could have been neglected in this window in order to strengthen other positions. Instead they've brought in Manu, Pritchard and Washbrook. That leaves Ellis, if he recovers, Minichello, Westerman, Thompson, Whiting, Turgutt, Pritchard, Abdull, Washbrook and Manu vying for 3 spots.
Even if Ellis and Thompson are accommodated into the front row and Westerman gets sent to wherever will have him, they have a real embarrassment of riches in this position and still have one knackered old stand off and a very hit and miss scrum half. I don't get it.
All we want is a team of Lee Radfords?

I was just going to type exactly the same thing, it's like if we signed a couple of wingers and a scrum half? good for depth etc but need to patch the places you're weak in first. I wonder if Radford has accidentally picked up Chris Chesters recruitment list!!
