Can't be any worse then binning off your previous captain who stood by you when relegated in exchange for an average ozzy. Complete disrespect shown to Shaun Lunt.

This signing gives Hull FC the best backline in Super League.

Fonua

Is it just me who doesn't rate Shaul that much?

Other than Rovers fans I'd imagine so. Watch him every week and there's not much to pick fault with. He's not quite as sharp since he's returned from injury but his early form this season was superb. With my biased glasses on I'd say top 2 in the league but more realistically top 4 - which still makes him pretty good.

This is the saltiest I've seen you in a long time. Jealous as.....

Also, absolutely not true. I can't even deduce which 3 you mean. Jake's technique is unorthodox but usually gets the job done.

I actually think Leeds have lost more than they’ve gained in getting rid of Parcell for Lui, whilst helping a relegation rival improve.

Possibly it depends on the final picture. Apparently Parcell had to leave for the quota spot for Lui, but it looks like Lolohea is going to Salford so Lui and Lolohea cancel each other out in terms of a quota spot. If Parcell’s still going to free up another quota signing then it might be worth it IF it happens and of what quality. If we don’t sign anyone at all with that free quota spot then it’s an awful move.

It’s amazing how these players that can throw people out of the way like they’re not there when running with the ball can’t tackle for toffee. Similar to Vaivai for us, big bloke, you’d expect him to be able to throw people to the floor, but nope, flapped like the rest of them in D.

Shaul is rapid,.......and that's it. Coote is pretty slow, but I know who I'd rather have as my full back.

Now you're really making a fool of yourself. Fonua's tackling was superb. You don't start in the NRL if you can't tackle. Jealousy can really make you say some moronic things. Our condensed line sometimes exposed him positionally, but his tackling was always spot on. He's got a tackle efficiency of 77.4% which is better than any other Wests winger and Aussie International and Storm winger Will Chambers only has 79%. To say Mahe Fonua can't tackle is just plain stupid.
