Apparently Motu Tony's son is showing signs of becoming a decent player at his early age.

Plays for one of West Hull's junior teams.

I think they are refering to Mike Smith,his company or a company he had shares in once held the contract for maintaining
the Royal Staition Hotel or whatever they call it now.

Wests under 8s. You have to see him to believe how good he is. Absolute machine.

rovers new kit deal revealed today......

muller light.........

lightweight team who get mullered regularly......

don't mock, fi-ta is the new diadora lol

Is it just because he is bigger than the other kids?

Don't mock.

The latest plan of attack is to stop attempting to sell things through Gimmicks. Hence their new GOLD SILVER and BRONZE membership plans



The funniest thing about that is the difference between gold and silver, appeared to be a voucher for £45 towards a replica shirt. The difference in price between them - you've guessed it £45.

Great stuff.

At least I suppose being classified as proper fan, lesser fan, and even lesser fan, means they can get away from all being classified as Throbbing Members

Nope... they'll still all be "classified as Throbbing Members" as far as I'm concerned....

Does that replace the "walking around East Hull with buckets asking for change" scheme, like they did a few years ago?

Basically, yeah.

There's another kid in that team, can't remember his name, think he wears the no. 10 who's far more technically gifted. Malakai is just massive, his thighs are as big as mine!!

Get ready for the tirade of "East Hull thighs like a child FC Fan", dont say I didn't warn you

Typical Dave Parker, about three weeks behind the times. This was actally on RH before Wembley.

Is fi-ta one of mike Ashley's sports direct brands?

From the KR fan on the Hull board.

Malakai is more than just size mate, he's a class above his age!

I'm not going to name him on here but you are correct that the Wests number 10 is a very talented player. However, Motu's lad has pace, balance and game awareness that far exceeds anybody else that i have seen in that age group. To be honest, his size is barely relevent to most of the things he does on the pitch.

Can't agree mate, his size is the reason he's as good as he is. Don't get me wrong, he's an immensely gifted player. But I've watched that age group for 2/3 years now. There's probably 4 or 5 better. Young lad at Beverley and one from Holderness Vikings your lot at Wyke have a couple too.

Great batch coming through. How's your little star coming on? Was it Tyler?

But as always happens at that age, his size means a lot of kids are scared to tackle. He's been stood up by a couple of our kids this year. Great talent though, there's no doubting that.

Bit early to be calling 8 yrs olds, immense, gifted etc, a long long way to go yet

Seriously Bet, 5 or 6 that are among the best I've seen at that age. Footwork, hands, it's all there. Long way, you're right, but I'd have killed for some of that natural talent.

Unfortunately none of them will ever make it as our mate Tarquin now lives over in Australia.

Is that Sheldon I can hear sing?

I took him on a rugby camp day this summer, very impressed by him.

Tyler not with us now... Got a couple of really good lads, beat every team this year and only lost twice, been a good season for us! Good coaches you see

I have seen it all before, what tends to happen though is they often level out around 12-14yrs, and more so at 16, kids catch up with size, development, skill & confidence. Not going to dispute what you say though & hopefully they will kick on, plus I think the coaching has developed over the years for the young ones and is suited more to the modern game. Mind you often get late developers mainly when talking about forwards admittedly.

Great watching the young ones though, I miss it & hopefully you are indeed watching some future stars even at this tender age.

Didn't Reece Lyne excel at youth level?
