Very happy with the Manu signing, not convinced about Washbrook but he'll only be utility/backup I suppose.

Jeez, we have a mental pack for next year.


Cue the moaning about back-up hookers and centres.

Sika Manu is a great signing, a real coup for the club.

He is a class player and when they come up I would expect Hull to try to sign them. He is an ideal age and the three year deal means he will with us after Ellis and Minichiello have retired (both may well be gone after next season).

Well done to Pearson, Tony and Radford for this signing.

Not sure about Washbrook, but lets see how he goes. Whiting misses a fair few games with injury these days so this might be a handy signing.

He's Talanoa's cousin according to the HDM, you learn something new everyday!

Sika drove the wagon whilst Tuli did the emptying.

Good signings. Our 2016 pack might be the best I've ever seen.

Potential team next season

Shaul
Talanoa
Tuimavave
Fonua
Muchaels
Pryce
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Ellis
Minichiello
Manu
Westerman

Pritchard
Watts
Thompson
Whiting/Washbrook/Green/Feka?

Got a feeling Westerman could be on his way out therefore I'd look to put Pritchard at 13 or play Abdull there.

I'm going for a forward to be our top try scorer in 2016.

What a great signing, and Manu's not bad either.

No excuses now. We will dominate teams physically next season and the backs will have the perfect platform to play on. If we don't get in the top 4 it will be unacceptable.

Manu is a surprise for me. I am in the Penrith Leagues club every 2 weeks and the word around was that he would join either Cronulla or Leeds Rhinos next season.

Leeds were more than interested apparently.
Fonua is his best mate as well as the Binman being his cuz.
Keep it in the family.

Who do you think your marquee exemption is going towards then? Manu? Pritchard? Someone else?

Looking forward to seeing you guys play next season, some good signings there.

they sika him here,they sika him there,that manu sika is every where.

Great signing

Impressed with the Manu signing, our pack looks very impressive for next year.

Got nothing against Washbrook, just don't see a need for him or where he gets into our team, tbh. Please not hooking off the bench.

It's a fair point, though. No question at all that we've signed some good players for next year, but reservations about whether we've suitably addressed the right areas are understandable.

I can see a logic in the Washbrook signing, a massive concern of mine though is if Pryce gets injured would Radford be able to fight the urge to play Washbrook at 6? I could see him going for that option we really would be going back 5 years.

Your pack looks world class but your backs look average

And? we'll just score all our trys under the posts. Snyed 100% average next season

Excellent signing, not convinced about Washbrook, but will give him a chance and hope he proves me wrong.

Very happy with the pack, on paper the best I have seen, halfbacks should be better next year.

I wouldn't say our backs are average and if Radford uses them correctly and plays the right players I think they could do some damage and we could shock a few people.

That's two positive posts in one day, doesn't that feel better?

Feka also signed a one year deal this week.

To say I'm underwhelmed about washbrook is an understatement ! Ffs middle 8s here we come should cut our losses with Ellis too how many games has he not started or gone of injured since he came he's missed 10+ this year large chunk of £ wasted

il assume above post is a wind UP else he wants to give himself a slap,anyway what a great great pack we gonna have next year COYH
