It’s so disappointing that
Cobie Wainhouse has failed to deliver on his potential
He was almost first team under Smith and now hasn’t even a squad number I believe

For me Ligi has played his last game for Hull - shame for him as he would certainly not have wanted this as his final game - best of luck to him in his future and Thanks for all his efforts

Knight is a good player, like been mentioned he has had injury problems though. I'm still not sure that I would have used the quota spot on a prop though, I'd have been looking at a domestic prop and use the quota on our weaker areas.

Hope the deal is only to the end of the year, if not that's our last quota spot gone and I would prefer to to be used on a halfback or Centre.

Id be looking at bringing Satae back next year, think Cartwright and the team would get him fit and playing well.

I still also hope we are looking at Lam, get that offer back on the table, as he is OOC at the end of the year.

Stay away from Satae hopefully even though he’ll be off quota. Rarely works out second time around and he’ll be 33 himself later this year. Let’s move on.

It looks like he was in and around the Manly first grade setup as a youngster when Carty was there as he made a first grade appearance in 2016. Every overseas player we’ve signed has followed that pattern so could be something in it.

Whilst I can see the logic in all our overseas signings having worked with Cartwright at some point so he knows what they're like, is it not a risk that by not casting our net wider, we're missing out on potential better players that he hasn't worked with?

He'll be having his arm amputated on Tuesday knowing how it goes with us.

Id still take Satae for a year if he is off quota, can't imagine us signing a better non quota prop.

Agree with Steve, I'm sure Cartwright and Myler will, buy its a tough job getting people here, so have to use the connections. Hopefully long term we are more attractive and have more options.
