One leg or two, o'mealey will make a fantastic play mate for sean long, they'll be able to have a couple of hours treatment together while the boozers open.
The salary cap must be squeezing at the KC.

Was talking to a Hull fan yesterday and he said We have just signed O'Meley, I said Oh really, he said no, O'Meley

Can't really judge him on his Hull career until he get's here and starts his Hull career.

Is your definition of average is a player that has played 15 times for the best RL nation in the world for he past 30+ years and 10 times in the so called best and toughest competition anywhere in the world in state of origin?

The Ogre is wayyyy above average.

I agree - had he been signed by Leeds the majority of those now decrying his signing by Hull would have been proclaiming it as something wonderful.

There's 3 risk factors though - how well he recovers from injury, how well he adapts to the British game and how well he adapts to life in the UK.

Leaving those aside (and the 2nd two are there for any Aussie) its a quality signing.

He was a great player - sadly now he is a very average player and how he will recover from a knee reconstruction at his age is anyone's guess

A very poor signing IMO a complete waste of money - a case of a coach being blinded by a big name from the NRL

Phil Clarke made those excellent points at saturdays game. Stevo also said it was a huge gamble... made me laugh when eddie was saying Hull have had terrible luck with injuries and then Stevo said ''and they've signed 2 more who are badly injured''
