Rumours that Keith Galloway is coming to Super League. Hull FC was the club mentioned. Possibly your friend is referring to him?

Has he recovered from the Hopate challenge yet?

Keith Galloway would be one of the best signings in the Super League era.

Current Australian International Prop forward, 27 years old just coming into his prime, big intimidating hard hitting Prop in the form of his life.

Also see the paragraph above for reasons it is highly highly unlikely he will be coming to Super League any time soon.

Would be very very happy to be proven wrong on that one though.

Just looked at the Wests squad on Wiki and a name that stood out was Ben Murdoch Masila. The reason being it has him down as a prop and I'm sure I read on a teams board on here they were after him(the team was more then likely Hull).

Complete guess though but he'd seem more likely then Galloway.

*update* scrap that he's just signed on till 2015.

Hull are also being linked with Ben Galea this morning. Is there anyone they aren't rumoured to be signing?

I heard that Hull FC have offered Wigan £1M to buy Tomkins out of his contract and they will pay him £50k/month AFTER tax before allowing him to go to the NRL

He rejected their £2.5M/year offer as they wouldnt stock his favourite shampoo in the showers at the clubs ground

I heard that he rejected an offer from the Wolfs for a similar reason

Wigan turned down a substantial offer from Warrington from Williams which included a supply of shampoo!

It seems Hull are rumoured and linked with signing a lot of players, however, surely they are bound by the cap and overseas quota etc
