Is he shot? or just simply gone crap? Motu Tony (Whitehaven – Wakefield) John Kear is supposedly in the market to bring former Hull FC full back and utility player Motu Tony to Belle Vue. The former New Zealand international who worked with Kear back in Hull has been passed around to many clubs over the past 2 years, and is looking for a permanent and long term deal back in the Super League.

I hope it's true. Would love to see motu back. Always remember his great try at cardiff and the one in the play offs against bradford.

kick and chase from the scrum ( on big Lesley wing also )

I don't know who else he has signed but Kear looks like he has sneaked under the radar with some potentially shrewd signings with Mariano, the two young lads from Wigan and Motu if true.

Not realy sure about these signings, I wouldn't be happy if any of them had signed for Hull.

Poor recruitmnet for wakefield so far this year, wouldn't be happy if I was a fan of theres.

Wouldn't be suprised to see them slip a couple of places in the league and Kear to be sacked.

Looks like there skint and are cutting the cloth accordingly.

Re: Motu Tony : Mon Oct 18, 2010 10:50 am  

I'm fearing the worst for Wakey this season. A big turn around of players and with the 2012–14 licences knocking on the door, they need as many positives as they can get.

Motu was a cracking player but I can't help feel he will never get back to his best after all his injury problems.

Youre right he probably wont get back to that level. I would however be very tempted to offer him a 1 year deal if he could prove his fitness to play 9 with Houghton.

i see what you are saying but imagine the fans if we did that. They would be in uproar signing an injured player etc etc. If I thought he could play for a year then I would do it but I have no idea on his current fitness tbh.
