However, and I am trying to set aside my Hull FC bias here, I agree that he wouldn't get in Hull's first 17. Is he better than Tuimavave or Connor (our likely first choice centres)? From what I have seen, no. Unless he is a decent back row? In which case he probably would. I know he's a big lad but I have never seen him play there.

I watch nrl all the time and hes a big improvement on tuimavave.Linnett is radfords sort of player strong,powerful and quick.

For 2019 I’d rather have Linnett over Tuimavave, by plenty.

Looks a good signing, i have followed NRL on premier and SKY. I dont remember him playing back row. Was playing at roosters before move to North Queensland. Big and quick what you need in a centre

Fair enough. As I said I think he is a good signing, but you can only base it what you have seen and I haven't seen all that much of him.
