Hull have got Faraimo, Naulago, Fonua, Swift and Dawson-Jones as wingers. If Swift isn’t getting any game time he could potentially be a medium/long term replacement for BJB.
To be honest I’ve been looking at the out of contract players from the nrl in the off season and greg Leleisiuao caught the eye a bit. Not your more traditional sl winger but seems like someone who could set the league alight with his evasiveness, especially as cc wants another outside back. He’s signed on for burliegh bears ( I think ) but maybe with the temptation off sl a deal could be done
Hmmm, not sure about him, he had a decent rookie year but has done nothing since and fallen by the way side for some reason. As I posted on the first page Danny Fualalo would be a good signing imo. To me he just has Trinity kind of NRL player written all over him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Fualalo
To be pedantic CC said
“I could do with another Kelepi Tanginoa kind of player in the middle.
I bet every club could to be fair but that comment sounds more like he wants some physicality and someone of the quality of Tanginoa, rather than any versatility.

Hame Sele is out of contract and fits the bill.....

Agree, he does look like the kind of winger that would cause havoc, whether from 10 meters out, or starting a set in our own 20.Young as well, good spot, |Just reading a recent st on the Eels forum, asking why he hasn't been given a go with how he's playing for the Magppies and quite a number mention he's a liability in defense but you hear that a lot with 22 year old wingers. He's also the guy that did this run. https://rugbyonslaught.com/watch-literally-break-someones-ankles-sidestep/
His stats down in Cant Cup, playing for the Magpies are crazy even for at that level , 4513 meters run, 1535 post contact meters, 196 tackle breaks, 43 offloads, 760 kick return meters. Sort of makes you wonder why he hasn't got a fair number of games in the NRL yet.

Yes different things can be read into that CC comment as to your interpretation of 'Kelepi' type of player...
Personally I interpreted a utility 'quick/'mobile' forward (can play prop, second row, loose forward), play long minutes and who is a hard runner and a big hitter...(rather than another big 18 stone prop).
Plus Sele was an identified future NRL talent but has now something to now prove like Kelepi..which is almost a Trinity pre requisite...

This is only based on his wiki someone will probably know more but what is worrying about Fualalo is how he suddenly went from being a 20+ game per season player to 2 appearances and released.

Just reading the doggies forum for a bit, he along with a few others got the brunt of a crap start and was left out for a month or so, then after that Dean Pay's inconsistent team selections. Plenty of their fans think he's their most powerful meter making forward, others think he just hasn't progressed as he should have, which could be down to the coaching, because reading that site isn't pretty at all as far as Dean pay is concerned . They've also a couple of younger guys coming through that they're going for instead next season. Fualalo played really well under Hasler but like most of their players have gone down hill under the coaching of Pay, how he's still there is a mystery to me. He's another one of those players that's been at the same club a few years and his game hasn't moved on to the next level like everyone thought, usually a change of club is the best thing for all concerned. He's an old fashioned big Prop, hits the line hard and as a quick PTB, doesn't offload or anything X factor like Big Dave and mostly plays interchange.
