We've only got one front row who is seeming to be able to step up in Brown but Hodgson hardly played him, then nothing, wheres the next Scott Taylor gonna come from. In 2 years time Ligi, Satae and Evans will all be off contract and wheres the conveyor of talent to replace them in house- there isn't any! Until we stop just trying to buy success with NRL cast offs we'll never achieve anything
If we had signed Scurr instead of Evans you'd be moaning that he wasn't good enough and had no experience.

He is big strong and has an offload, probably got him on the cheap as Warriors will have paid he off.
Are we better with Evan's or Bowden as our 4th prop.
Exactly and would we rather sign Evans or Billy Magoulias who Warrington have just announced? Think that again shows that there is a lack of top quality both available or willing to come over to the other side of the world.
It just didn't seem to work out for Evans at NZW so hopefully he will very come with a point to prove.
We've not had a forward will a good off load game since Watts so it would seem this is an area of his game that has appealed to BH in the way he wants the game played.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Do people really expect the signing of Mckintosh, Lovadua and Evans are gonna suddenly change the team as I don't? I said a few weeks back we'd sign some supposed high profile player to try and sell season tickets and Evans is that except he's pretty poor - Should of let him sign for wakefield.
Another long hard season next year. If the bottom three get relegated to super league 2 we'll be lucky to not be in that bottom three imo. At best I'd say 8-9th.
sometimes you even suprise me with you negative comments, i honestly dont know why you follow Hull FC if you even do
once a black and white always a black and white COYH
I think people need to put the signing into context, it's not as if Evans is being signed as our marquee prop, he's an upgrade on Bowden and will give us that boost in games when we have both of Satae and Sao on the bench which is where teams tend to dominate if we've got Bowden and Fash as our props on the pitch at the time in that 20-40 minute period. Evans will hopefully provide us with that go forward and like Hodgson said provide an offload and help to develop that part of game.
Won't knock Evans until he's I've seen him. Play he's taken alot of flack for stepping over the line with his emotions, but I've also seen comments from fans saying they wished some of his team mates gave a toss as much as Kane, if anything he's been guilty of coming on and wanting to influence the game maybe abit too much, that shows he cares
Can we say that about all our squad?
I think his attitude is exactly what we need he plays with maximum effort and gusto, as someone's brilliantly pointed out he's not a marquee signing, he's a big upgrade on Bowden
