New Hull FC signing Sam Lisone says he\u2019s sick of bashing up his team-mates and is ready to take his pre-season frustrations out on Super League.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old former Samoan international is a new addition at the MKM Stadium this season having made the switch from Leeds Rhinos, where he has spent the past three campaigns.<\/p>\n

\u2018Slammin\u2019 Sam arrives as arguably the headline recruit for the Black and Whites, boosting the punch to a pack that has also added James Bell and Harvie Hill alongside the likes of big hitters Herman Ese\u2019Ese, Liam Knight and John Asiata.<\/p>\n

FC\u2019s new-look pack have spent the winter tearing into each other at training and finally got a chance to have a run out against Wigan Warriors on Sunday in a pre-season friendly.<\/p>\n

Next up is Salford in the Challenge Cup tonight as John Cartwright\u2019s men officially get their competitive 2026 season up and running.<\/p>\n

Starting at Salford in the Cup and then at home to Bradford Bulls next week in the Super League opener, Lisone can\u2019t wait to finally get his FC career up and running after a long off season.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s been a good pre-season. Obviously, coming from a new club, you know pre-season is where it builds brotherhood, where you start to get to know your mates and work hard with your mates. So, it has been good.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I think we are ready now to get started properly and for round one. The boys are sick of bashing each other, I know I am, we want to bash someone else.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re a player you just know when it’s time to play and when you’re ready to play. We\u2019re ready!\u201d<\/p>\n

Hull FC<\/a> had to watch on through gritted teeth last season as neighbours Hull KR<\/a> conquered all in front of them to win the treble. Now, as they get ready to begin a second full season under new owners and head coach John Cartwright, there\u2019s a growing belief FC can challenge for honours themselves this year.<\/p>\n

Pointing to the signings made, Lisone shares that belief as he explains his excitement to get started at his new home.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is exciting,\u201d Lisone adds, when asked about the season ahead.\u201dYou look at the boys we have and there\u2019s a bit of everything. We\u2019ve got great youth, old heads, new arrivals, so it’s just exciting to get started and see where we are.<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard a lot of good stories about our fans and obviously fans play a big part home and away. So yeah, I\u2019m really excited about experiencing that. I can’t wait.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new FC recruit is fed up of running at his team-mates and is ready for the season…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":410292,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[20805,5903,20370,76546,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-410291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-hull-fc","tag-rugby","tag-rugby-league","tag-sam-lisone","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=410291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410291\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/410292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=410291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=410291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=410291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
