Great signing for FC. (and he's under 25)

Very good signing. Cant wait to see him running from FB off Horne and Long!...add forwards like Lauaki and Manu as well, i can see our attacking play improving dramatically next year!... |

Do you think he has been signed to play full back ?
I would say yes althogh he did play at centre for leeds'"
Not a centre. For Leeds he played fullback, halfback and hooker mainly. |

| Quote ="Standee"Probably both, Motu hasn't made any noises about staying or going as yet (although he's been injured so it's understandable), we cannot keep Thorman under any circumstances!'"
Motu would stay if he is offered a contract, but there has been no discussions either way with the club so far.
I would be happy for the club to part ways with G Horne, P King and even Whiting in order to keep Motu.
I would also keep Tommy Lee, as I feel the signing of Long gives us the chance to return Lee to scrum half after he has had two years experience training day in day out with Sean Long. |

| Quote ="PAUL M"If he is signed to replace Tony then I am disappointed as I think he can be a bit of a liability at fullback. If we are signing him as our utility player then he is a good signing as he can cover al of the back positions and hooker. Hopefull he has signed as the utility player and that should mean no room for Thorman as Tansey will cover 6 & 7 but I fear this will be the end of Tony which is disappointing.
He is a pretty skillful player and has a decent kicking game so it's nice to have a footballer coming in.'"
Paul, you should get yourself Setanta. Watched him play the other week at full back. Played the whole game and looked solid & fast. If you didn't know, you would have thought he was an aussie.
Was very impressed with what I saw. So, for me he is a great signing. Could be the end for Motu. |

Been told the same. Looks like a great move by Hull. |

Admittedly I have not seen him play this season so I can only judge him at fulback from what I saw of him at Leeds. |

Think that's all but certain given recent statements from Rule and the way recruitment has been undertaken. Let's hope he can step up a level or two when he has his 'own' team.
Or maybe the main problem has been the players after all and that's now being rectified... |

Cusack:
- plays lots of minutes in a game
- very good defender
- will work hard all day long
- strong runner (not impact type, but doesnt take a backwards step type)
- he seems like a good leader to me
Thackray:
- poor defender
- lacks impact nowadays
- dont get too much game time out of him, which would be O.K if he still had impact but he doesnt
- inconsistant with the effort he puts in
The only thing Thackray has over Cusack imo is pace |

TBF Cusack has been our best prop for 2 seasons now, but i wouldnt say Thacks is poor. He brings more to the side than King, Maloney or Moa currently. |

I'd agree he brings more than King at the moment, but I'm not a fan of King at all. I thought that Maloney looked better than Thackray in the games they played alongside each other, I'm suprised he was dropped. I think its hard to say with Moa because he hasnt been used much so far. I'm suprised that he pnly plays 15 minutes for the 1st team yet can put in mamouth spells in the reserves. |

Would still love a 2nd impact prop. Maybe if Moa develops he would be the answer. Maybe not, who knows as he never gets the game time.
If Radford is to play next season i feel he must play prop, meaning Dowes and Radford to start and Lauaki and Moa/new impact prop to be the answer.
Could be Lauaki and Thacks if we keep him. Thats not a 4 props to rotate.
FWIW i dont think we are weak in the props anyway, we play them for too long and use one as a loose forward with no scrum half which is what lets us down for me. |

We could be signing another prop anyway so it's all up in the air. Radford might well leave to go to RU as I mentioned earlier in the year? |

Good signing in terms of versatility, but id be worried if he was signed as your new centre.

He starts / started his well paid coaching job at Hull RU and signed a 1 year extension with us in the last couple of months so doubt he will be going anywhere!  |
