He isn't on any official photos and his club pen pic is from the shirt launch and not the official photocall

I know! If what I've heard is true then it's understandable why he isn't there

Da Da Dah!

Plenty of rumours doing the rounds about Talanoa, and if they are true it's understandable why nothing has been said yet. Equally could be a load of rubbish. It will all come out eventually I guess.

I haven't heard what the nature of these rumours are other than they are rumours, but if these rumours are genuine could it put his future at Hull in jeopardy?

Apologies if the above makes no sense!

Based on the rumours I have heard, I guess it would be up to the club, but I would hope and expect that they would stick by him. But then I haven't heard anything about the exact nature of why he is where he is, if indeed he is there at all.

Does that make any sense?

Does that make any sense?


err sort of!!

I wonder if we signed Dawson because of what has supposed to have happened.

No mention of Talanoa ,in today’s HDM article about the Saints friendly.

… although there is on the club website about the game, as well as Westerman, Green, Bowden and Bienek (who are also not mentioned in the HDM).

Lets hope the rumours are true, otherwise there has been some serious character assassination by some on here who are keen to rumour monger.

It does make sense, and with him deleting his Instagram account which he was very active on, seems to support the rumours

Character assassination by who?

All I have done is said that I have heard rumours. Until something concrete comes out I am happy to take the club line, because I have nothing to back up the rumours. And even if the rumours are true, it wouldn't make me think any less of him tbh, neither would it make me want him to leave the club.

What are these rumours? Can't see anything other than 'he might not play for us again' - anyone care to drop a PM to shed more light?

on a different note, we played London today in a friendly at hull,

Was talanoa playing?

Trio?

No, London having trouble getting friendlies, so this arranged behind closed doors

Would prefer no side notes and to just stick to the thread personally.
I am also not in the know or heard any rumours but I see his Twitter account has also been suspended.
Hope the guy is alright first and foremost and that those closely connected to him are okay too.

get a grip, was only mentioning it,

Must have been our 2nd/3rd string given our game at Saints on Saturday,unless it was one of those no tackle training sessions.

I do have a grip just thought it pointless to mention it that's all on a Talanoa thread.
Don't be so precious.

If we sign Ratu at the end of the month which is very likely then i guess a statement will be made about Talanoa if there is anything to report

don't know just that there played London, unless as you say it was a no tackle sessions, long way to come for that though

London have a game at Doncaster on Sunday so maybe they are staying up here and doing some training before the match

They did an opposed training session against Toronto last year iirc. The idea was that they played as though they were playing a game but that the coaches would stop it from time to time to point things out or to have a chat about certain things. They often do that kind of thing in training anyway by just splitting up the squad, but it's useful to have a different set of players throwing different things at you.

White lines blowing through my mind.
