Hull have confirmed the signing of Carlos Tuimavave.

Signed as a centre by the sounds of it.

If he is coming as a utility cover to replace rankin then should be OK but if he is one of these highly paid star outside backs then I have to say I'm completely underwhelmed. 13 first grade games

Think his preferred position has always been stand-off.
Could potentially end up next to Sneyd when Leon hangs up his boots.

Another awful signing.

Can't even get in a wooden spoon chasing Knights side.

Lets hope can do a decent job but would preferred a out and out centre

according to Radford he will put pressure on the centre spot.

We should have signed a specialist centre... -IMO

Good luck & Welcome Carlos....

Would have rather have kept Rankin

Here's a idea,why don't we see him play before the slagging off starts.

Initial thoughts are disappointment, a bit happier that he has been signed ads centre, but in an area we are desperate to sign quality it's a big gamble to sign player who hasn't played first grade rugby in that position.

Gambles do pay off sometimes, but not a impressive signing as we were promised. I hope he proves to be a top signing though .

Welcome to Hull.

Maybe Hull would, but if wants to leave what can we do?

Can't hang around waiting for him to make his decision, the need is greater anyway for someone who can play centre than FB.

I was hoping for an experienced outside back so this signing is a little puzzling but we'll have to see who else joins us.

Presume he's not one of these 2 superstar outside backs we've been promised by pearson though

They can't wait they know it all about everyone

Pritchard and Taylor aren't awful signings.

Agree

Could Dobson , Paea , Moa or Blake Green really break through to 1st team regulars in the nrl sheldon ? Doesn't mean anything tbh !!!
I'd imagine Roopy has seen a fair bit if him and can give us his opinion , hopefully it's z great signing for the club and he settles in quickly !!

Welcome Carlos #coyh

I get this feeling that we're going to miss out on Inu now. He'd would be the perfect centre for us. Great step, powerful and knows how to put his winger away with ease.
We're seriously going to lack pace next season though unless Lancaster starts which I can't see happening though.

Hopefully will be a good signing for the club, he's a young talent & can cover a few positions, not many fans wanted rankin & he turned out ok, this kid comes with a better pedigree so we can judge him when we've seen him with our famous jersey on. Welcome aboard Carlos.

Underwhelmed you Jake,no way.

If you are suggesting we are missing out on some pace by not signing Inu you are clearly wrong,he's no quicker than Yeamo.

Hmmm. Slightly odd signing on the face of it. If we need a centre why not sign a specialist centre?

Hope he goes well for us anyway.

Welcome to the Jackal.
