I really can't see why Tahu would improve us and I would certainly not be "over the moon" if we signed him.

He will be 34 in October and has spent most of this NRL season playing second row in the reserve grade.

When we sign an ageing international outside back it rarely works out well e.g. Sing, Blacklock.

He would be a waste of money and a waste of an overseas spot IMO.

He has only played 2 or 3 games in the second row this year.
He says he prefers second row now, but he has mostly been used as a centre.

He missed about half the season after suffering a leg injury while playing for the Newcastle Yowies in the Koori knockout during the off season.

Tahu still looks a class athlete and would have played a lot more firstgrade this year if he hadn't been injured for the first half of the season.

Hull Daily Mail going with the Crooks to Parramatta story this morning. Hull would hold his SL registration although Crooks is understood to hope his long-term future lies in Australia.

I doubt we'll see him in a Hull shirt again which is a great shame.

I wouldn't be happy with Tahu. Apart from his age he has had serious attitude problems and fall outs in the past. Of course he could be a reformed character, Willie Mason is apparently a model pro now so anything is possible, but is it really worth the risk?

Wouldn't have said an outside back or 2nd row is a priority for us

IF Crooks returns to UK,& his FC contract expired.

Hull have his registration,but can they demand a fee,if he's a free agent?
