Rumour on the Hull forum is Quins have had him any offer for next year. Hull fans wont be happy to see him go,they would like to keep him. http://www.hullfc.com/hullfc/contents/?page_id=347 I think he could be a good player for us if we can keep him fully fit, can play a number of postion's, one of which is Centre, so wonder if hes Gafa's possible replacement if he leaves at the end of the year.

Depressing. He runs as quickly as I do with wellies on at the beach.

I for one don't think this would be a good signing. I think this would be a terrible signing who would add absolutely nothing to the squad or advance us forward over this years effort.

Hopefully he stays in Hull. He may work hard, he may play with plenty of determination commitment, but we need players with guile, skill and craft (i.e. not Richard Whiting).

From what I've seen of him, he has more skills than many of our present squad but he's injury-prone and slow.

then you clearly haven't seen much of him, he has a great rugby brain and reads play well

his biggest weakness is his lack of pace when he plays at centre, but play him elsewhere and he's a good player.

I would be disappointed if we signed a player who seems to be blighted with injuries. Let's face it he is a crock and for all his talents his injury problems seem to have affected his mobility.

A broken leg and a broken arm in the same season where his main injuries - cant say that makes him injury prone really apart from a couple of niggles this year.

He's had a succession of smaller injuries over the past four years.

He's not a player I rate in Super League and I believe his gangly build will always lead to injuries in this competition.

He would be a another Mick Nanyn, Jon Grayshon or Dwayne Barker; someone that no-one else wants but will come down and fight for a place.
