I'm a hull kr supporter so at least he's at the right team over there
He is pretty quick though, and that alone may do the job.

Gallen aims for Roosters clash
Tue 02 Jun, 2015, 8:40am
Paul Gallen has turned his attention to Cronulla's clash with the Sydney Roosters following an injury setback that prevented the Sharks and NSW captain from making his long-awaited return to the NRL last weekend.
Gallen, whose hip injury stopped him from participating in the State of Origin series-opening loss to Queensland last week, was widely tipped to play in the Sharks' 42-6 loss to St George Illawarra at Jubilee Oval on Sunday.
But he was again relegated to the sidelines after pushing himself physically in the lead-up.
"I was probably not really close at the end of the day, but I did my best late last week," Gallen told 2KY's Big Sports Breakfast on Tuesday.
"I began full training last week and was pretty good early in the week, then came to a scrimmage session on Thursday night.
"Actually got through the scrimmage session okay but that night just pulled up really sore, and the next day pretty sore again. So obviously the contact and the twisting and pulling was affecting me late last week, but we'll see how we go this week."
Gallen is considered almost a guarantee for Sunday's match against the Roosters, along with Origin II in Melbourne on June 17.
But the club are taking a cautious approach, given a re-injury could easily spell the end of the 33-year-old's season.
Gallen also rubbished speculation he has already signed an expected new one-year contract with Cronulla that will ensure he remains a one-club man.
"No, that's not correct ... I read that report too and I had a few calls that afternoon. I don't know how that got out or started," he said.
However, he said negotiations were close to being finalised.
"Things are positive and heading in the right direction but it's certainly not signed."

Poor Campo, he was such a damn good player before the knees went... and now he is compared to Robbo.
He much better long kicking game than Robbo too
Yep that's fair. And probably a worse defensive game.
Yes

Players will be given a maximum 10 day "cooling off period" for any contract they sign under a new rule proposed by the NRL.
Head of Football, Todd Greenberg said the current rule, that was introduced to allow clubs until round 13 to retain players who have signed with a rival club, will be scrapped.
Instead, a contract signed with a rival club will be registered once a 10 business day cooling off period expires.
Mr Greenberg said fans and clubs were frustrated with the "round 13" rule because it can create uncertainty and speculation for a long time after a contract has been signed.
"I think everyone agrees it is unseemly to have months of speculation about whether a player is going to a rival club," he said.
"Our view is a 10 day cooling off period is an acceptable solution for all involved."
The introduction of the new rule is subject to further consultation and approval from the Rugby League Players Association.
If approved, it will stipulate that:
A player may sign an extension of his contract with his existing club at any time
A player may sign with a new club only during the final year of his contract
A 10 business day cooling off period will apply to all contracts
A club signing a player is prohibited from making an announcement until the cooling off period has expired
Mr Greenberg stressed that the proposed new rule will be an interim measure pending the outcome of Shane Richardson's "whole of game" review.

Have to laugh really. I know the rule has been changed going forward, but who at the NRL thought this was a good idea to begin with?
Could derail our 2016 season, was so looking forward to it.
