I've put it on the rumours thread in yesterday Daily Express scored 39 trys for Leeds Tykes and has turned down a contract to sign for Hull.

I've seen him play occassionally for leeds (never knew he was a hull lad though), he's very very quick, done very well playing in sevens for england, defensively he might need a bit of work.

I was a bit surprised Leeds let him go on their promotion to the top flight because he played for them last time they were there, I got the impression the england sevens call ups were a bit too regular for their liking ( sevens tournements are held all over the world at regular intervals throughout the season). I wouldn't put too much on him scoring 37 tries last season, Leeds won the 2nd division at a canter scoring lots of tries against inferior opposition, I do think he is a genuine prospect though and could be a good un for you lads in time if you don't over burden him with your expectations.

Went to Hymers, so probably one of Rule's polo buddies

He's doomed.

Seriously though, looks like a good prospect and a good signing in the medium term.

Although he must be mad signing for us given the service our wingers get.

According to the Yorkshire Post, Biggs is likely to be heading to Newcastle Falcons. No mention of Hull FC or any other RL club.
