On 13/2/2013, Hull City's owners the Allams, released a statement in their position as the owners of the KC Stadium Management Committee. One line in this statement read as follows....

I've just had the same message and was going to ask the same question,apparently he has a poor disciplinary record,don't know how good a player he is though.

Was the text from Gary Hethrington?
A lot of Yorkshiremen believe that when God created the world, he made it with perfect balance.
He balanced the hot areas with the cold areas. the dry areas with the wet areas.
And, in creating Yorkshire, he created the most glorious place on earth - full of majestic beauty and sporting giants.........and for balance he created....... Lancashire.

its on the leeds website . a 2 year deal .
he is a hard working prop who should put a bit of biff into the leeds pack .
leeds have been short in the front row so its a good signing .

Hes been chinned a few times by our new import Josh Perry.
Could be fireworks the next Saints v Leeds game.

He's an old fashioned forward really. Probably not as suited to the modern game as a lot of current first graders. He made Origin one year but I think that was due to his tough reputation and NSW was looking for that at the time. He'll probably do okay. He's had a lot of trouble with concussions. He's been knocked out several times in a relatively short period and I think he might have a problem there.

He'll fit in well at Leeds then

From what I've seen of him he's decent enough but if he's been signed as a direct replacement for Eastwood then I don't think Leeds have done particularly well here. They did need another prop but this signing doesn't seem as impressive as Perry and Lima for Saints and Wigan respectively. Still there was nothing they could do about Eastwood becoming homesick I suppose.

Seen quite a lot of him in the NRL and he's never stood out for mine. Just an average prop really, who at 31 years of age is winding down his career.
Not a great signing for Leeds, especially on a two year contract. If they are hoping to win back their crown in 2011, recruiting this quality of player isn't going to be much help.
To put this in persepective, he's nowhere near as good as Josh Perry, and probably not as good as Ryan O'Hara. Actually, I'd put him on a par with someone like Peter Cusack.

Is he related to Barry Ward?

Didn't he get chinned by Tallis also? Pretty sure he did.
Suppose it depends how much he's costing us? We definately need some extra beef up front. With Burgess and Peacock back and him and Kylie I'm happy with that.
So long as they all stay fit and in good form then Bailey might not get a look in! Please let it be so.

I think that was actually Ben Ross but could be wrong.
It'll be interesting to see Perry against Peacock and Cross after his run-ins with both of them, though I can't see anything much happening

And when they found our shadows
Grouped around the TV sets
They ran down every lead
They repeated every test
They checked out all the data on their lists
And then the alien anthropologists
Admitted they were still perplexed
But on eliminating every other reason
For our sad demise
They logged the only explanation left
This species has amused itself to death
No tears to cry no feelings left

Where's NE when you need him to explain to us why this isn't an over-the-hill, useless signing?
Unless of course, he'd signed for anyone else.
