Feka got in great shape in 2010 for us but he then went on to have probably his quietest year. He still didn't seem able to get through long minutes but due to his smaller frame was having less impact with the ball. His defence did seem to improve though.

A strange signing IMO but maybe a sign of the quality that's left out there. We're meant to be signing Tony Clubb so we've not hit much to crow about.

maybe so,... but your team is packed full of internationals to play around him and ultimately you win things...... we don't, so signing a player you binned nearly 4 years ago doesn't instill me with any confidance going into next year

He's fine,hows the bus driver attacker from new zealand,or the woman assaulter who you bought from castleford ?

From Cas? Your knowledge summed up in one post.

He came from Bradford fool

hahahah I see you deleted that post ding bat! lol wovers fans so so funny!

Hand up,made a ricket,but you know my point.

Evening Craig.

Fingers crossed this works out for us, but I reckon it shows up two obvious points;

1) how desperate we are

2) how little there is out there and available

Like I said fingers crossed on this one.

I not fussed about the signing hopefully he will give us what we have been missing . Think the dobbins trolls have forgotten that we have already taken their best forward in Micky P and tbh if that little sh@ hadn't opened his gob we would have been announcing his signing , He is our marquee signing which seems to have been forgotten

To be fair though he was crap at Salford. When however he did lose his weight at Wigan he did lose some impact going forward. It's a double edged sword. Will a slimmer fitter feka give us the go forward we need against the heavier can't play as many minutes feka.
Only time will tell but I'm also bemused at this signing.

How interesting that people think 105 kg is slim and fit - There,s hope out there for a lot folk in Hull with that observation.

Not the worst signing in the world, but not a big signing either. There's not much out there. Still think we need another big prop signing. We need a fearsome pack.

Always caused us problems when played for Wigan , Hope can get somewhere near that form and prove the doubters wrong. We have needed size Paea and Feka will give us that .

You can never accuse Hull of boring signings.

I'll reserve judgement on this one until he's played a few games. Plenty of signings dubbed underwhelming turn out to be very astute whilst many star signings end up as disasters.

Garbage,that's it.

I'm 50/50 on this, could do either way dramatically but one thing is for sure I can't wait to see what happens when he gets a run out. Which is more than can be said for some other signings.

Hey let's give him a go, could be awesome, could be dreadful. As I've alluded to on another (much much more rambling) post, I'm in blind optimism mode at the moment so what the hell. Anyway we don't know what else might be lurking round the signings corner (good or bad - either way might put the Feka signing into perspective).

One things for certain though, the statement "could potentially be the signing of 2014" might not be far off the mark, I mean did anyone see how/what body part he actually used to sign? There's more than one way to impress a coach

Agreed - it's not like there's a barrel full of quality out there for Feka to be at the bottom of but I think almost everyone understands that. Need another prop for sure.

As others have said, could go either way so will be interesting to see how he goes. Welcome to Hull FC Feka and good luck!!

I assume no visa issues.

Remind me why we didnt get Chase?

I never knew Phil Hogan was from new zealand

First thought was OMFG!

After thinking about it, potentially it could be a very good signing. If we get the Feka that played for Wigan and in the NRL who is fit and hungry then he will give us what we lack, some impact/yardage. If he's the Feka at Salford then it's an awful signing.

Have to trust the club, they have seen the shape he is in so hopefully they have made the right call.

Do we think that he has found himself in second grade French rugby by accident?

I personally cannot understand why, with the lack of quality available out there, we watch Saints sign 2 very good prop forwards while a supposed ambitious club like ours is recruiting from the scrap heap.

There are reasons why players find themselves lower down the levels, the main ones (especially for players like Feka who are ex Internationals) are passion, commitment and attitude.

By the sounds of the interview he knows this is his last chance, and I wouldnt be surprised if his contract has some clauses in it
