Someone on the Hull board knew in advance that Long was coming and also said we were close to getting Lynch. Since then he said it looks like we now won't be getting Lynch so make of that what you will.

I think that was just a lucky guess to be brutally honest.
He merely said would it be worth giving him a 2 year deal.
It said in all the press that he was looking for a 2 yr deal.

Is he any good?

I was hoping we'd be announcing a back.

McNamara and the Beaver entice another current GF standard top Aussie to the Bulls. Interesting. So far as I'm concerned, Hall is pretty much at the top of his game and is a bloody great signing, now if Lynch isn't tempted to stay and play alongside the likes of Hall, Menzies and Burgess then there's something wrong with him.

Great signing

Don't know much about him.
But I'm glad other people are glad about signing him.

I wouldn't go as far to say hes a great signing, he is however a good signing though and strengthens a position which I believe is in need of being strengthened. Hopefully as others have mentioned before myself we can hurry up and get Lynchy signed up so Hall can play alongside him and give us that big of go forward that we seem to be lacking at times.

Top Signing.

PS. Big shout out to ServiceCrew for keeping us all informed.

Yes, dixie, from what I have seen of him he is very good. Hard hitter, never goes backwards. Cracking signing, Well done Mac.

I remember somone on here saying we'd signed this bloke way back earlier in the season, who was that? He had good info. Anyway Hall looks like the front rower we're missing. Now we need to re-sign Lynch too. Then some smart recruitment in the backs needs to occur.
