Pretty good signing, I think. HKR are looking mean up front for next year.
Who've they replaced Dobson with? They will prove to be the most important move, I'm sure.

The number of imports at both the Hull clubs is quite disappointing, the majority of them being pretty poor too (no pun intended).

I'd disagree with that opinion for Rovers. With the exception of the two PNG players Maki and Paniu who are going to be playing alot for Gateshead under Stanley Gene till they get up to speed with the game over here then I think we've recruited really well. They are project players and in a years time they may prove astute signings.

Why would there be an exception made for the PNG players? They've been signed by Rovers have they not? Weird.

Like I said, for a so-called 'hot bed' of RL, the number and quality of imports is very disappointing.

Weyman & Keating are the only two at Rovers who'll really add anything. The other lot are unnecessary. Burns is awful, Costigan & Poore average, Larroyer is pants and the two PNG lads? is Lovegrove still there?

At Hull, the only two I really rate are Heremaia & Paea. The others (Miller, Feka, Talanoa, McDonnell) will be on the edges struggling to get a start.
