because we have Motu Tony, Raynor out and Todd Byrne out for the season (most likely going to get paid off) and Tom Briscoe injured his ankle badly yesterday..so we are very short of backs

not saying i agree with this signing at all, but can see how they've done it out of desperation

Is there a date for sentencing set yet?

From the FC website:

“I am hoping that moving to Hull will give me a new start and I intend to be a positive influence in the club not only as a player but also off the field supporting their numerous community focused initiatives.”


Immediately followed by...

At yesterday’s derby match a domestic violence campaign was launched by Hull FC in conjunction with NHS Hull. This campaign is the first of its kind in Europe which focuses upon the perpetrators rather than the victims of domestic violence.

We've launched a domestic violence campaign literally yesterday, and then the day after sign a player that just pleaded guilty to knocking his missus about! We are just inviting the p!ss to be taken out of us here! I cannot believe we have signed this scumbag. I don't care how desperate we are for a full back.

ahhahahahahahahah

Could turn out to be a very stupid signing...

Had to move quickly, apparently wigan st pats and york acorn were after him.

Seriously though, I'm sure there's a clause in his contract that voids it if he gets sent down.

Makes perfect sense now.

The 2 Hull clubs condone violence, both clubs are a disgrace to themselves and the greatest game.

On top of the violence you've got the fact that he's been injured for over a year, with not much sign of a comeback yet. So his fitness will be off, his confidence etc. if he does get back to playing I don't think he's going to be good.

He might still be injured and get sent down before even playing.
