Should we be interested? - he's a better full-back than Briscoe you know...

Never a full back, been a good utility player in recent seasons but will struggle to find another Super League given his injury record.

He would do a good job for the Crusaders/Salford a very good player if fit, I would agree he is only a stand in full back but I am sorry to see him leave without a chance to show us his skills to his fans.

Sooner sign Swiss Tony!

He is secure under the high ball, Mr 100% Tony much better than that Shaun Briscoe fella

You can all take the pi$$ as much as you want.He is a quality player,injuries havn`t helped his cause.

He certainly IS a world class hooker. Though admittedly a little injury prone these days.

Would i have him in my team??? - yes.

Gateshull the only team with injuries this season , AGAIN

Tony is a decent player, but his injuries alone would put any club off from signing him, shame really.

First choice hooker for my money. An insect bite has ended his season (or thats what the fans are being told) which if true is hardly a reason not to sign a player as long as he passes a medical plus the extended lay off could give him a couple of extra seasons at the top level.

If we had space on the quota I'd give him a go with a release clause if any injuries are recurrances.

IMO we would have never had a better hooker in our SL days than Motu and thats no offence to the guys that have played there but Tony is an international in that position something we dont have (unless you count Scotland).

trouble is its not just the insect bite, he's been laid up with one thing or another for the best part of a year.

and with a full off season and decent medical attention I do think he'd have a couple of full seasons left in him.

I cant understand how one club can be so "unlucky" with injuries while other clubs can get by just fine. Hull's depth is quite strong but their recovery seems to take forever and it does all seem to be since Mallinson left your club. Wonder what he puts in the water bottles

Plus he's not, and never has been, a hooker.

Other than for his country......

When they had no-one else to play there. Is Richard Horne a winger?

So he's played hooker for NZ but never has been a hooker. Neat trick.

typo corrected

He is undoubtedly a very fine hooker.

He a top class hooker imo and has the added bonus of being able to cover a variety of positions, including Full-Back

See Rich Horne's international career for reference.

Why??

Think he is suggested Horne played wing for GB but is not a winger.

Seem to remember Mike Forshaw and Sinfield playing hooker for GB around the same time....bizarre.



Hope Motu has an injury free run cos he is a quality player.

Fair enough.

I would assume he'd use the same terms of reference when discussing Motu as being a full-back

His best position is undoubtedly hooker and he has the ability to cover a number of other positions which make him a very useful player.

Motu can play a variety of postions to a very high standard. He is a very dedicated pro who gives great value for money (injuries aside

)

To have played in major finals at wing, full back, stand off and hooker is one heck of an achievement!

He also played Hooker in one game.
