I've seen him play occassionally for leeds (never knew he was a hull lad though), he's very very quick, done very well playing in sevens for england, defensively he might need a bit of work.
I was a bit surprised Leeds let him go on their promotion to the top flight because he played for them last time they were there, I got the impression the england sevens call ups were a bit too regular for their liking ( sevens tournements are held all over the world at regular intervals throughout the season). I wouldn't put too much on him scoring 37 tries last season, Leeds won the 2nd division at a canter scoring lots of tries against inferior opposition, I do think he is a genuine prospect though and could be a good un for you lads in time if you don't over burden him with your expectations.

He's doomed.
Seriously though, looks like a good prospect and a good signing in the medium term.
Although he must be mad signing for us given the service our wingers get.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One
