Wow no one saw that one coming

Good signing and adds size, speed and presence to the front row. Has huge potential to be a real stand out player in SL, seems to be well regarded in Aus so would say his signing will be more boom than bust.

Little concerned we have used 3 quota spots for the front row though when we are very weak in the back row even with the signing of Okunbor.

Welcome to Hull Franklin.

Yes and no, im a big beleiver that a pack being on top can make average backs look better. Deciding on a no7 is key tho.

I get what you’re saying but currently out back row options are still very weak. I’m hoping Staveley and Severs step up for next season too.

At least we shouldnt see much of a drop off in go forward from the front row next season.

Time for those Bevan French rumours from last season to resurface

Fair enough mate. Wouldn't be my preference, but the market isn't exactly full of decent 7 options.

Presume it's someone who can play halves too. If it's not Reece Walsh we riot

Intresting on that forum, some saying Hayze Perham also coming to the UK, played fullback this year, but can also play 6, is he the mystery fullback?
