Great, another small back rower/loose. Really helps out in the prop dept.

I'm not saying he wouldn't be a good signing (I've never heard of him so have absolutely no idea) but he doesn't appear to be what we need IMO.

I get it, but for all those big “units” what have Hull done? Sort of suggests that size isn’t everything.

Hull had too much size last year. You had Sao, Ma'u and Satae and Savelio on the field at the same time with players like Griffin and Fonua on the flanks. The more mobile sides moved them about and tired them out after ten minutes and the game was over.

What can you do brother, knock teams out of the playoffs, on their own midden, or possibly beat them at Wembley in a cup final, not much more left for also rans to do.

Yeah I know. Just recording it to avoid the "well there was nobody else available" posts later in 2022.

The Herald Sun in Australia are saying we've signed him on a 2 year deal, so will wait to see what is announced.
If he has, hopefully he'll turnout to be one of these unknowns that turns out to be brilliant

Great if he is a ball playing loose forward with Currie and Holmes in the 2nd row. Hughes will be feeling under pressure.

Skim reading the Aussie reports it seems that you could be onto something which would get a thumbs-up from me as we'd be a bit more dynamic on the edges and in the middle something I think Powell would be able to use.

I'm not a big Hughes fan especially at 2nd row and think he'll be off our books come the next contract renewal
