Totally agree.

It is very much like the Sid Domic signing and that didn't turn out bad. His stats don't look good but he was playing in beaten teams. His experience might also help either Lynn or Sharp who'll be playing outside him. I'm clutching at straws now aren't i? :roll:


No where near the standard of Domic who was a very classy player.

No disrespect but if I were a Wakey fan with all the troubles they have been through and found out we were signing Martin I would be disappointed.

So as a Hull fan with AP's rallying call of wanting to win things ringing in my ears I am utterley gobsmacked with this signing. Turner and Whiting are better centres, i'd rather play Horne there or even do what other clubs do and blood a youngster and play Crooks. No matter how you dress this up it's a pathetic signing and reminds of Bomber at Salford.

So AP said we will show our intent in October, well Martin should not be near a top 8 side so what does that intent mean now?

If we wanted a stop gap signing then sign Senior. Ok won't be as cheap as Martin but I thought we'd moved on from cheap.

If Kath/RA had made this signing people would be calling for a public hanging.

Completely agree. Expect him to be announced as a new signing for howes shortly

Can't be true. The club website has this to say about martin

Martin is considered by many to be one of the best players to miss out on representative rugby league during his time in Australia, having been pegged back behind a string of outstanding centres.

What a load of crap. He's the type of signing I'd absolutely lambast Bradford or Rovers for. He's an overage, average Aussie who is no better than what we have. I'm not sure who sanctioned this signing, but they're an idiot. Terrible, terrible news.

Maybe they a feel a forward is more of a concern with radders , lauaki , dowes and fitzgibbon all leaving ? Not my opinion but maybe how they see it and will look to bring a forward in and see Martin as the best option without using a quota spot, Just a thought

If we really had to make a stopgap signing like this, and I don't believe we did, then Senior was the obvious option.

I know a lot of people who are very sceptical about AP's reasons for buying FC.

With this weeks news I can see why.
