The former New Zealand international who worked with Kear back in Hull has been passed around to many clubs over the past 2 years, and is looking for a permanent and long term deal back in the Super League.

kick and chase from the scrum ( on big Lesley wing also )

Not realy sure about these signings, I wouldn't be happy if any of them had signed for Hull.

Poor recruitmnet for wakefield so far this year, wouldn't be happy if I was a fan of theres.

Wouldn't be suprised to see them slip a couple of places in the league and Kear to be sacked.

Looks like there skint and are cutting the cloth accordingly.

I'm fearing the worst for Wakey this season. A big turn around of players and with the 2012–14 licences knocking on the door, they need as many positives as they can get.

Motu was a cracking player but I can't help feel he will never get back to his best after all his injury problems.

Youre right he probably wont get back to that level. I would however be very tempted to offer him a 1 year deal if he could prove his fitness to play 9 with Houghton.

i see what you are saying but imagine the fans if we did that. They would be in uproar signing an injured player etc etc. If I thought he could play for a year then I would do it but I have no idea on his current fitness tbh.

So basicly,these players get total rat Rsed,then crawl into training next day.?

Glad you can toss it off at work....wish I could.

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.
