Motu's recruitment has been nothing short of exceptional. I have no idea how he signs Pritchard, Manu, Taylor etc. on top of the high earners like Ellis and Minichello that we already had.

How on earth is this squad costing the same as our squads from the last 5 or 6 years? Either Motu is a miracle worker or our previous salary cap management was abysmal.

don't be surprised if peacock back at leeds soon,

The word is that Peacock was at Widnes today, not Warrington. Not good signs.

I know what my money's on.

Motu's return to the club has been critical.

He's obviously well known in the New Zealand and Samoan RL community and has used his contacts and friendships to secure signings such as Talanoa, Feka, Pritchard, Manu and Tuimavave.

He loves the club and wants the best for it. Perhaps the same cannot be said for people in his position at other clubs currently in Super League.

Howes country estate and Bombers beach house?

Our recruitment (Motu's) this year has been so special. We are so lucky to have him and his contacts and friendships.

He was a fantastic player and person for Hull FC but he is proving to be an even better recruitment manager/director of rugby or whatever his title is.

I've nothing but good thoughts about Motu and who can forget him scoring that try at Cardiff. Happy days then and it looks like the start of happy days now and Motu is the common denominator.

I remember the debates on who to keep Motu or a Briscoe
I wonder what would have happened if we had let MT go

That is a great point!
