Hull sign Denive Balmforth

[Desert Skipper]

Hull FC have paid a fee to sign Denive Balmforth from Warrington’s academy. Don’t really know much about him, but it’s claimed he’s highly rated. I guess being behind two international hookers in the pecking order means he wouldn’t get many chances at the HJ.

Not sure how much Hull have paid.

He is already an international in his age group.  

Only 18 and I’m amazed Wire let him go.  Excellent acquisition and one for the future.

Must be decent to go for a fee at that age. Is he from that neck of the woods?

Leeds.  I seem to remember reading he wanted to be closer to home.  Maybe the quieter run across to Hull is preferable to the 62?

Looks a real handful.

Let's see how Hull can take that and squander it over the coming years! Lewis Bienek looked a handful too...

If biff, bam &bash is his only attribute then he won’t make it as a hooker, being tough is a great attribute but SL isn’t age group rugby and the big kid doesn’t always score try’s and win MotM awards.

I sincerely hope he’s got more to his game than that video shows, he’ll need some guile, vision and great core skill to make it as a 9
