Sika the great. : Thu Aug 29, 2019 10:02 am  

Sika a World Cup winner, an NRL champion, and a double challenge cup winner, has decided this will be his last season. A magnificent second row, and in tandem with Mini, formed a partnership of top class ability. A super ambassador for our club, it will take some quality to replace this guy, thank you for the memories. A Hull great.

As Riders says, we've been blessed to have two world class second rowers in Sika and Mini. They've given us so much pleasure and they have my everlasting thanks for all they've done. If their replacements are an upgrade then we are in for some fun next year.

Same as Mini - One of the 2016 immortals

A humble guy off the field but hard as nails on it. Been a real privilege to watch him in the black and white.

can only echo all the other posters sentiments.

What a great signing he's been. A real warrior.

Best wishes to him and his family as they return home.

Brilliant sentiments and spot on Rider well said.

I was thinking about what to write about Seke's announcement in the Diary and concluded that for 4 years he and Mini have never once seen me leaving a game thinking that they gave anything but their all. They made mistakes as all players do but always left nothing on the field. Seke, like Mark is one of the 2016 immortals a lovely guy who will chat to anyone and as hard as they come on the field. I don't care who we sign, there I will always be a massive hole left by those two! As with all of the immortals we'll never forget what they did for us all.

Superb player and as already said by others a critical one within the 2016 Immortals group. Tough as they come and never shirked the hard/thankless work.

Been another fantastic back row signing of the AP tenure alongside Ellis, Minichiello, and now Ma'u.
