I think my biggest concern with Pele is whether he actually has the desire and attitude to get into shape. I agree with others that he's got potential but it's really down to him now.

It took Moa a full season and pre season to get into any kind of decent shape and fitness levels and that was with a tougher regime at the club.
Both were 23, wasn't as bad as Pele, I'm fact Pele played a lot more NRL than games than Moa, when they both signed for Hull.

We had two strike centres in Griffin and Yeaman and all you need was moan about them.
Pace isn't that important as long as you have players backing up if you make a break, Lafai isn't particularly fast for example, but he breaks at Salford he has someone on his shoulder.

On one hand you've got people saying don't keep Okunbor despite him looking good in a video at Bradford, but then people arguing Pele should be kept because he looks good in a video playing for York.
https://www.thekennel.net.au/forum/inde ... ll.127031/ this thread pretty much says what you need to know about Pele, that there's concerns about his fitness, that he can't do more than 10 mins at a time and he doesn't have the drive to prove himself. Despite people saying that terrible cliche of "there's a player in there somewhere" I'm really not sure there is. Realistically we should be releasing both, the championship is the level for both Okunbor and Pele.
