According to someone who had seen him play onion a lot he'd got back to a decent level of fitness. I guess a pay as you play deal might suit us better but maybe not him if he can get a permanent deal at Wakey. He's only 27/28 i think, just really like the bloke and would be tempted.

We could do worse than getting him to put 3 stone on and play him prop, he never feared running through brick walls.

Jesse Joe Parker will surprise people next season playing in Super League as he is a very good player.

I know! If he could teach Dowes that Polynesian lack of fear he'd be looking at a nice new 2 yr deal.

More like 30. Signed for us for 2005, and IIRC he wasn't only 22/23.

according to Wikipedia he is 29, 30 next May

Thought he'd be around there. Would have made him 23 when he came over to Cas, and he'd already been at NZ Warriors for a while then Brisbane for a bit.

He could teach Lauaki and Radford a thing or two about taking the ball up hard and direct too!!

don't think he would be up to super league level now.good player on his day,but the championship will be his level now.

But you're a professional wine taster!

Motu was at the Stadium announcment today and I got to meet him. Has def signed for us. Said he was fully fit...but then I guess he would

That is good to hear. Well done Wakey, and Well done Motu

signed for them on a 1 year pay-as-you-play deal.

Will people stop going on about these "pay as you play"

How the heck to they work with a salary cap?

only going on what they are saying!!i would hazard a guess that they will calculate his payments based on him playing in all their games?if he misses any games,they it doesn't affect the cap one bit.

Wakefield won't have to worry about that. Still, I imagine a player training full time will get a basic wage guaranteed, even if it is very small - and then incentives. Nobody can live not knowing whether they'll have any income from one week to the next.

Ultimately if he plays 10 games and missed 5 for arguements sake Wakey would have 1/3rd of his cap space free again. As the cap is live i'd guess that as soon as he misses a game the money becomes spare for something else.

that's my take on it.good for both sides.wakey get an extra player on small money(?)motu gets back in to super league.

Really like Motu. Hope it all works out for him.

Yup, same for me too.

You just know him and Tommy Lee will rip us apart at belle vue next year!

at least judas isn't there to do that!!!! went to belle vue this year full of optimism and left totally deflated!!

Wakey away was one of the lows of the season for me!

The only positive from that game was the motivation it gave us for the derby the week after.

Good luck to Motu, one of my favourite Hull players.

Good to see him back at the top level although I won't enjoy seeing him play against us.

Motu confirmed as Wakefield Wldcats bound on BBC Sport

Hope it works out for Motu at Wakey.He really deserves some luck after what he's been through over the last couple of years.

Good luck to Motu, great guy and deserves some luck.
