Looks like they’ve taken the news down from Hull FC.com

Headline is there though!

strange that! It must be happening with all those quotes from Hodgson and the player himself?

Realised they've made a mistake and pulled it. Right team right position but wrong player. The hooker we've signed from Souths is Damien Cook.

How many players have we signed? How many hookers? I know we all want the heads up early, I do, but we’ll have to see what happens. All these suggestions smacks of desperation somewhat.
But keep em coming.

I think we would've struggled to sign the current Aussie hooker.

Lovodua has something to prove. Looks a direct running 9, he played well for Fiji against PNG and Samoa. The games are on YouTube.

Carlos came over with little known about him and has been one of our best Imports of the last decade.

I'd still like us to sign Peats. Think they could really complement each other at 9 and 13.

If you search Oceania Cup 2019 you should find them. The Samoa game is a blow out but the Fiji PNG game is a good watch.

As soon as we get a ruck win or the markers aren't set he'll be off

Looks a good player, we forget how much larger the NRL pool of players is, for them to stand out enough for 2nd grade is no mean feat and this guy looks to have plenty of guile and pace at dummy half, which neither of our current hookers have shown this year, Houghton because he has had to do long stints, because JJ is, sadly, not good enough. I'd rather sign young and fit project types than veteran and injury prone players that nobody else would take, as we have done on previous occasions.
