Welcome to the black & whites Milky.

We have already given the no.7 out this year. So I would guess you can't give it out twice in a season. He'll be given the no.7 next year

Could be a pivotal (no pun intended) moment for the club.

Lets not put to much pressure on the lad . Hopefully he will be given time to settle in.
He only has a handful of first grade games behind him. Some people are talking like he is the next Peter Sterling.

Correct, can only issue a number once pre season and new players have to get the next number at the end , obv was 34 as Azza is 33

No need to rush him in. Things are going okay. Great to have a proper number 7 at the club at last though.

Plus his number adds up to 7. It's meant to be!!

Didn't someone previously have this number and put a + sign inbetween the numbers?

Doesn't look very jet-lagged. Brilliant that he's gone straight to the KC from the plane looking chipper and acclimatised.



Welcome, Windy.

He's been here three weeks - illegal immigrant did not want any abuse so stayed under cover until the undercover cops said it was ok to come out.

I thought that a few weeks ago but then thought I must of made it up haha.

It was Ivan Zamorano. He wore shirt no. 1+8 iirc for Inter Milan. Summat to do with Roberto Baggio..

I was a demon at Championship Manager Italia!!

Goulding had 1+6 at Wakey (i think)

Salford.

Don't know about a + sign, but IIRC Webster wore the number 34.

I just hope everyone's expectations are realistic. He may have talent but he has virtually no first grade experience

I'm hoping the same. He's very young and despite his impressive youth representative record, he will make mistakes. We must persist and let him develop, what I've seen of him and been told from Australia is that he has plenty of potential and can be a very decent half back.

Well said . People are already getting too over excited by Jacob Miller signing .
I have trust in Gentle in spotting talent . Fans need to curb their enthusiasm over a young lad with only a handful of first team games . Hopefully he will be the natural No 7 we have needed for years . For now, lets all give him chance to settle in to his new surroundings.
In time , and without over jealous pressure from us fans I am sure he will come good.
Welcome Jacob to the Black and White Nation . COYH .

And that's in the NRL, the toughest league in the world, even if it was only for a few games. Once he settles down i think he will be a class act imo of cause.

While holdsworth stays fit our 7 needs to be able to pass a ball, kick now n again, take the line on here n there. Everything else a bonus. Don't think we'll actually ask to much of him early on and he'll hopefully grow into the team and assert himself more as time goes on.

You're only guessing he will. You know nothing about him

My mate coached him at the Sydney roosters ,said he's a very talented player with a great kicking game and also a good goal kicker.Reckons hell do well over here.

Glad he's now in Hull but not expecting too much of him too soon , Think will see best of him next season.

Think he'll surprise one or two with just how ready he is.

Saying that, I'm glad he's coming in to the team with Holdsworth in it, had it been alongside Horne he'd have been relied on much more for game management.

Agree we shouldn't expect too much and should bring him in gradually but he did start the first four games of the season for Wests. I watched as much as I could off youtube and he didn't look out of place, most of the play went through Benji so he was more of a support player.

my expectations are not to high
as long as he is as good as Mathew Johns I'll be happy
