Reading through some of the posts on this thread I thought I had missed some announcement as well.

NRL forward heading to Hull

Hull FC have signed blockbusting Samoa international Ligi Sao for 2020 and beyond.

The 26-year-old will make the switch from Auckland to Humberside in the off-season after penning terms with Lee Radford’s Hull side. Sao made his NRL debut in 2013 for Manly before making the switch to New Zealand Warriors in 2016. He has 43 first-grade games to his name and he made his international debut for Samoa last year.

Those stats for Sao and Satae are pretty impressive, we shouldnt lack go forward at all, from what ive read on the warriors forums both of them are workhorses defensivley too i think in one game Satae made 22 tackles in 23 minutes lol

Both have been championed by the warriors fans to be in the first eleven more, and Satae is meant to bend the line for fun.

Cant wait to see the, both just wondering how tall and heavy are they both, Satae looked huge on a video i watched

our pack next year is shaping up nicely, another prop to be announced I believe, looking good

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Wed Jul 31, 2019 2:56 pm  

As several others have mentioned if and when the two signings are announced we are still short of an experienced front row.
You only need two out injured and we get rolled again down the middle.
getting second rows to do the work of front rows is not the way to go as we saw with Pritchard.
Also think we will regret not resigning Litten.I can understand the player wants more game time but next season should see a meaningful reserve league which means he would have been active every week outside of any first team action.
Just cant see any massive difference in what HKR were prepared to pay against what Hull were prepared to pay but my guess is we will have to bring someone else in and its likely it will cost us more.
