Add in 2 mid season overseas signings, one of which had his contract torn up due to dv and the other who looks like he has a season ending injury before he's even pulled the shirt on

Where's the season ending coming from?

Has to go down as one of our worst ever signing in SL

I think that’s harsh. I thought he defended well, also scored a try but didn’t get involved enough. As mentioned somewhere he’s played NRL. Shame we have to rank them. However I can think of many worse signings

Would loved to know the thought process in signing him, it really seemed like we missed out on our 2 top targets so just signed him out of desperation.

There’s no way the club could have watched him play and be like ‘he’s our man’.

Best of luck to him.

Cheap, was willing to relocate to Hull and had a decent highlights reel...all the due dilligence the previous regime needed to do

Plus he reckoned Clarke told him he'd been following his career for years which doesn't ring true somehow.

Signing a former winger who has played a few games in the 2nd row when you're crying out for a quality back rower. What could possibly go wrong.

The recruitment holy trinity of pearson, clarke and smith
