Would you release Griffin if it meant we got Fonua on a long term deal?

Nope.

But I might have signed him instead of Swift or Faraimo. Too late now.

most clubs appear to be sorted for wingers and outside backs for next season having done their business early, i'll have a look at the teams later in a bit of detail and try to find out if there's a vacancy anywhere - just as a quick example my team the roosters have ryan hall back, they've also got brett morris and tupou plus a couple of youngsters. its probably the same all over the league

Would have loved to see Mahe back at Hull but we have four wingers signed up who will expect first team action as well as the likes of Buchanan waiting for a chance.

I hope he gets signed up by another NRL club as I'd hate to see him playing elsewhere in Super League especially at Leeds or them lot.

I expect Jones will be released in similar circumstances to Jordan Thompson

Are you talking about Josh Jones?

Matty Dawson Jones

We ended up with Warren Jowitt

Do whatever it takes to resign him

As far as I remember wasn't the reason he went home was for family ,couldn't settle etc and he was prepared to play reserve league for that.

Couldn't settle? He was here two years.

They went home to raise a family, I believe. Plus the massive pay rise may have helped of course.

Loads of players say that, but then they can't quite make it in the NRL, so come back like Sio and Paea.

Weird that Corey Thomspon is such a success there whilst Fonua is struggling, I still think he could get an NRL contract, but it should be as a winger, as his defence isn't good enough to be a centre in the NRL.

I also think some Hull fans on here and social media are looking at Fonua with slightly rose tinted glasses, was a great player, but like Faraimo had his weaknesses, have a look at the video on the Hull social media page when we last win at Cas, probably at fault for three Cas trys, or least Faraimo would have been if it was him.

Aaah. Thought he meant Salford release Jones to come to us early. Isn’t Dawson-Jones on a 2 year deal? Fonua’s deal is up at end of season, that’s why they’ve released him. Wouldn’t work for us.

He might be as equally as bad as Faraimo in defence but he offers way more in attack IMO. I'm not sure its wise signing him if Faraimo is signed up but if he isn't I'd choose Fonua every time.

Not sure it's way more, Fonua did the unbelievable stuff, but was also prone to more mistakes and Faramio has other areas that are better than Fonua IMO.

No doubt I'd rather have Fonua on the wing, but I don't think the gap is that large, don't forget Fonua was playing in a much more successful and confident side.

Fonua hasn't really struggled over there though has he? My impression was that he has done pretty well. They all loved him at first, the fans took to him instantly, then he got a season ending injury. Came back this year, was playing regularly and performing pretty well, then another injury.

I would say the fact that Fonua was playing was one of the reasons the side was more confident. I like Faraimo, but he isn't on the same level as Fonua. There's a highlights reel on Youtube of him and some of the stuff he did was freakish. He was outstanding for us, especially out of backfield and finding his front. Gained so many penalties.

I think that clubs put clauses in contracts to do with things like injury. If he doesn't play for 6 months, then the club could terminate his contract. This could be what they do?

Started well, but form has gone downhill, gets very criticised from the West fans on social media.

Think somebody posted something earlier in the year comparing Faraimo's stats to Fonua's and from what I recall they were very similar. I think Fonua just went about it in a more eye catching way, some of the offloads he did were up there with Willie Manu.

Fonua is already in the "legend" bracket of Hull players. It would be nothing short of criminal if we let him join another SL team. There isn't a current player in our squad I rate as highly.

forget fonua now,we need new forewards.our backs are good enough.i liked fonua when he was here,but time to move on.

Can’t we swap Washy for Parcell

Why "move on" from signing great players? I don't see the logic?

Rovers bound isn’t he , swapping for lunt !
