What’s the matter Cookie…is your arris twitching.

Banter aside, Hull need to be at least competitive unlike the last 3 or 4 years. With the players coming in, there is nothing there that anyone with the slightest bit of rugby knowledge would see as good signings. Asiata is clearly the only player that hits any heights of expectation but since his comeback he has been terrible. He looks shot. I think the move to sign Josh Drinkwater is another shot in the head if it comes off. As for being worried about your recruitment from a Rovers perspective NO. List every player for Hull and Rovers side by side and there is only one player that would get in a Rovers team and that's Herman the German but on the bench as his performances have fallen off recently.

Bless, why the feeble attempt at insults, see if you can put a sentence together that isn't from the 70s or the past in general. Look to the future, but there again is there future in your Hut?

And Asiata has been terrible since returning from injury?? His return coincides with Leighs upturn in form and Lam's man of the match performances

Our future is bright with our academy lads coming through and getting a chance…albeit in circumstances we didn’t want to…you should try this approach but mind you,if you swap players like Ayadin for Brown then carry on as we know who got the better deal there…as for the past…well that’s hilarious as your past is like the present and future …won nothing.

Definitely, he's top quality and probably the only player I'd have from fc at this moment time

Eseese is the type of player that every team hopes there gonna sign, quality and fully committed.

You say you got the better deal, (and that's your opinion)
but Aydin couldn't get a look in at Rovers though for some reason, where as Brown's playing off the bench here and there, so the deals benefitted both teams imo.

I think all parties can be happy with the deal.

Aydin has been great for you, but like Jack brown he lacks the size to be a top prop.
