Easy thing to say, but he sounds like he'll be committed....

[iI’m willing to die for the club whose colours I wear on my back.[/i

Playing today for Samoa ?

He's in the Kiwi squad

Was going to put something similar about Brown myself



Not sure what his ambitions are but it must be time he was looking to settle at one club and stay 3 or 4 seasons at least.

This is a big chance for him to do that and add his name to our long list of kiwi greats!

Hopefully he hits the ground running and we are soon talking to him about extending his contract.

Would prefer that than constantly waiting to see how Clifford is going at the Cowboys!

Fingers crossed that’s the case as It will give us a real attacking threat if he was to move into 9 in 2025.

Agreed on Clifford I hope we aren’t putting all our eggs in that basket, if he comes available then great. But I hope we are looking at other targets as well.

Ridiculous shouldn't be allowed to move back and forth from country to country esp when samoa made the world cup final this time last year !

Welcome to Hull Nu .Gonna be some competition for places next season and hopefully a attitude change also .

There's already a bar named after him.

Am sure Smith has looked at all the possibilities and will certainly know more about contracts then anybody on here what benefits Hull

There is indeed and its the blight of my life, live opposite side 400 yards away. Too tempting and will power alone doesn't work!!!

Brown starts at hooker for the Kiwis this week

That's great news, done well signing NZ hookers in the last, hopefully make a big an impact as Swain and Tony.

Not bad for a skint club signing the current Kiwi 9

Think it's a really smart signing, imagine if Balmforth gets a chance and does well, when Trueman is back could line up like this

6 Hoy
7 Trueman
9 Houghton
13 Brown
14 Balmforth

That's will Smith as back up too.

As good as Houghton was last season I'd like to see us be less dependent on him as our starting 9 next year.

If everyone stays fit, we could start with Brown and have Balmforth or Smith on the bench

I agree, great signing for us, reading the Bulldogs fans' page, when he left they all wanted him to stay and rated him highly, at halfback as well as hooker. Definitely optimistic now, Ashworth and Okunbor in the back row, good front row and depth in the halves, look to be in a much better position this preseason than last. I also think Pele will be a force, he is fast and as big as Kasiano. If we hit preseason right, there won't be many packs relishing a match up against ours.

Tyson Frizell is making his debut for Tonga at the weekend after previously winning caps for Wales and Australia.

And nearly signing for Rovers,too.

Frizell has now played for as many nations as he has clubs

Remembers to sets alarm for 5-30am Saturday morning.

You really are a technophobe but depending whose showing it you do catch up at a more reasonable hour.

I'll watch it on Kayo or Fox Sports live mate.
The killer is missing out on the 8 NRL games over a usual Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun morning for the next 5+ months.
What else am I meant to do?

Sleep

Any indepth comparisons for Clifford and Brown?

Obvious one for me looks like Brown has a better running game. Obviously a huge attribute of Clifford game was his kicking.

Whats brown like leading a team around is he an organiser and very vocal?
