Why the hell would he want to leave that beautiful place for this freezing hell hole?

looking at that backdrop the club have performed a miracle bringing him over here

Lots of reasons. A fresh challenge, earning a living in a foreign country, a chance to see a different part of the world, test himself in a different style of rugby that may well play to his strengths. He was also very much in the public eye in Aus earlier this year when he was falsely accused of assault, I imagine he'll be very happy to be able to get on with his rugby without the level of press intrusion that can happen down under. He's unlikley to have the gutter press over here on his back.

Because he's heard how welcoming the fans are.

His exploits and stories are stuff of legends

Any inklings or whispers on the Winger and Prop were after?

Pretty good first interview from JR, think he will be a big favourite with us all. Sounds like the style of rugby will certainly be a much more entertaining one and have more structure. Liked hearing about how he says it’s important to have a good bond and togetherness as a team too. https://hullfc.mysportsonline.uk/ Can’t be anything other than positive so far.

I'm needing it to be next year now.

Johnstone & Fafita as it’s Christmas

Not a clue the guy doing the interview said he'll be one of a couple of new faces in the camp. Wonder if any deals are close...

Its pretty slim pickings with us having no quota spaces left.

Luis Johnson might be worth a punt, can cover the middle but played his junior rugby in the back row. Navarette is on the outer at Wigan, he started in the 2019 GF.

Still hopeful we can get one of Hudds outside backs in a swap deal with Jones. The only other outside back I've seen made available is Hankinson
