I think he is a decent signing on paper, but as with all overseas signings you never quite know until they get here.

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.
