Sounded very much like it's a done deal.

It is.

The guest on RH (not Martyn Sadler, the other RL journo they have on) said that Berro had been the deciding factor for Seymour. Mind you, probably read that on here.

The same Berro who, when asked about what he had gained from his time at Hull, said something along the lines of 'it hasn't been very beneficial for my game'? (I don't have a quote database, hell I don't even have a working laptop, but I think it was from a NZ article).


Tbh, I'd be well chuffed if Seymour has signed. Reading what Sheldon has posted in this thread and from various things I've heard now and then it seems like a great signing, but it does lead me to worry about the state of our pack next year considering that this is another overseas signing.

I took Berro's comments to be aimed at the game over here in general, not a swing at Hull FC.

I'm sure I read somewhere, that Richard Swain said that FC were the club that treated him the best in all of his career. Considering some of the clubs he had played at, that is some statement.
I reckon when Fitzgibbon goes, he will be a great ambassador for the club when it comes to future overseas signings.
I'm sure big Willie will put a word in for the Dobbins.

Swain was interviewed in a match programme recently and said that his time at Hull was the most enjoyable of his career. He doesn't follow the game down under but keeps track of Hull's progress via Andy Last and, funnily enough, Peter Sharp.

As for Seymour, looking forward to an announcement within the next few days. Good to have the squad taking shape with plenty of time for visa applications.
