Mmm, not a lot of definates so far then

Indeed, it certainly vindicates the club's decision not to award new contracts to the players involved.

Any news on Motu Tony? The best of those released, when fit.

Widnes i hear

Paul King Will Not Play For Hull FC Again, Despite Being Given A Squad Number For 2010,

From Hull Daily Mail Txt Alert More In Friday's Paper

Yes i was just thinking the same about Motu, out of all the released players he really has had some bad luck. I just hope he can overcome his injuries and get the new contract he deserves.

but where?? i'll tell you for a fact no-one in the nrl will have him...so that really limits his options......salford maybe?or wakey

Why ?

i think hes wrong, if he could get fit and be cheap enough they'd be a few takers imo.

didn't i read that he wants to stay in the hull area?

Im not sure if he wants to stay around here but I too would be surprised if he couldnt get a contract/game somewhere if he went back.

wasnt wanted when he was fully fit....hence his release to cas...
although a good player, motu is nowere near the player he was when he played in the nrl mainly down to injury...

that was a bit different.

its like saying johnson's just been released to catalans.



with players like tandy, elford and even flanagan getting contracts are you telling me a fit tony wouldn't?

i cant see an nrl team taking a punt on a man who has played less than 10 games in two years...just my opinion......flanagan is a good prospect, one wests can work with....elford went back to his first club same as fitzhenry..
and tandy got a chance through injuries whilst playing reserve grade....
im not saying motu isnt/was a good player cus he is but its a big risk to offer a contract to a man who will be used to earning top $$$$......

That does sound bad but one of his spells out was for a freak insect bite or something wasnt it not any kind of reoccurring injury.

cant argue with the bite thing...BUT seriuos knee injuries dont go away with abit of savlon applied

I saw Motu a week last Monday at Ionians. Some of the squad were training together, but Motu (in his FC training gear) was jogging around the the main pitch on his own. He still has quite a noticable limp when he runs.

maybe he has the rest of his leg tattoo'd and he was running off the pain..

motu has gone to union with hull

What kind of money will he get there ?

not sure how union is funded at that level, i mean they have no crowd to speak of, no tv money, yet attract a few overseas players. i assume its largely a part time thing

Really gutted for him - a shocking way to end his SL career if he has gone to union. Was sad to see him go when he was released but really thought he'd be picked up by another SL club.

It's a real shame. I hope we see him around the club if he is staying in the area.

If ever a player was owed some support from our club it's Motu.

I believe he intends to stay in the area. My dad has met him a few time via Corporate Hospitality etc and he said he is really settled in the area and his kids have started school here.
