He has been linked with a move to us (Hull FC) along with a few other SL clubs, do you think he is good enough for SL?

On current form, showing and ability in this Fax side I would say no but as a full time player in a full time environment in a team like Hull with better players across the park it may be different.

He's definitely worth a shot. He'll be at Fev on DR no doubt.

Re: Tangata : Mon Apr 10, 2017 9:43 am  

turned down SL to stay another season with us so probably quite a few after him.

Re: Tangata : Mon Apr 10, 2017 9:54 am  

Not the biggest of forwards - so SL is a long shot - but he is stand out player in the Championship

Re: Tangata : Mon Apr 10, 2017 2:04 pm  

As well as the starting 17 most SL clubs carry an extra 10-15 players in their squad. Tangata and most of the other better Championship players might not be starting 17-calibre in SL, but they'd be at least as good as some of the players at the bottom end of the roster. In fact, large numbers of Championship players were once reserves at SL clubs and most of them don't prove dominant at Championship level.

So often, it depends on the player's circumstances ie does he have a good job outside rugby and want to stay part time, or is he itching for a crack at playing full time?

If i were in Hull's position i would only consider signings that were ripping it up in championship like Alex Walmsley/Chris Hill.

Tangata is good enough for Super League. Might just take him some time to get up to speed. He certainly has all the attributes to be in Super League. Lets not forget a lot of Championship players have gone on to be successful in Super League. Just hope he stays.

We are lacking some impact from the bench, could do with a junior Moore type player, so I hope we don't sign a non fed player to be a squad member, we need a player to help improve us and make sure we stay in the top 4
