It seems like the radford situation all over again, play your best years somewhere else and then when you are past your best come back to hull fc.

Forget his age, he is an excellent prop, one of the best in the league and certainly better than any of Rovers props.

If he cuts out the unnecessary offload attempts and penalties he could be a decent signing for you.

Every thread.

Heard it's a one year deal, sorted at Radders' house and he's exactly what we need. Paea and Carvell to start then bring on Feka and Green/Watts/Bowden/BTW

Bradford have no choice really, he's lost confidence in their ability to pay his wages - it's happened several times already.

They're not going to want an unhappy and demotivated player on their books.

Think it would be better to interchange one with the other not both on at the same time.

He was excellent for us, playing in a side that reached finals, so I find the best years quote quite puzzling. He then left and went to a side where he continued his trend of reaching finals. I don't think he's ever really peaked, he has always been a superb prop, and still is. Our front row of Logan and Carvell was the most devastating I've seen as a hull supporter. He will be one of the best props in the comp next season regardless of who he plays for.

I would agree with that.

He's been good in his time, I'm pretty sure Weyman would stand up well to him.

You'll be happy with Carvell and I'm sure we're happy with Weyman
