quality player but no way an 80 min man 25 mins a half tops but is a big unit and someone ive enjoyed watching in nrl over the last 3 years and was shocked at such a big name coming to super league think he will be a great signing for u

He probably did well over half a dozen 80s for dogs last yr. I can't recall him once doing less than 60/65

Mrs P has retweeted FC's article reaffirming his commitment.

From the point of him signing I went on pritchard watch like most hull fans. Was suprised at amount of times he did 80 n long mins suprised me. But this is a different league and personally I'd look to bring him off the bench about 20 mins in. He could then go right through or if in the position to do so bring him back off early. Seasons are now longer over here when they should be getting shorter. Peaking at the right time with players with gas in the tank is massively important

Be interesting to see how we play him. Mini does 80 regularly too, so guess there'll be varying rotations with Ellis potentially covering both back row and prop assuming Manu is 13. Photo of Ellis on the anti-gravity treadmill today. Hasn't let his top half go. Also thought Bowden looked quite trim from a training photo last week.

He did 6 80 min games, he also did 10 games less than 60 mins.

i'm not sure manu will be 13, i see him operating on the right, perhaps coming on to spell mini, who perhaps needs to play a bit less in some games to maximise his effectiveness. abdul for me has earned first crack at 13

Dean Hadley will be our starting 13.
A fitter and leaner Abdull will play more games at 6 than Pryce who i think will once again start well then fade.
