Ah that old chestnut. Rovers fans seem to make a habit of denying any approach for the players they lose out on!!

Good luck to Motu!

Well said.

I find it strange though that he would go to Hull RU. He's 27 and a NZ international. Is his injury maybe that bad? Does he just want to stay in the area?

I'd have thought he would have got another professional deal? (although if the rumours are to be believed what Tevita earned when he went there maybe Motu has done the right thing)

He still does alot of work in the community for FC such as attending youth sides Christmas parties and visiting schools.

In today's HDMcould have caused him to need an amputation.

"If the infection had been any more severe there was the possibility I could have lost a foot," he said.

"I had two weeks in hospital and three operations to get it right.

Blimey Had some terrible injury luck, but didn't realise it was as serious as that. Good luck Motu in your new career, and as others have said, would be great to see your continued association with the black and whites.

Good luck to Motu. Always gave 100% and never let us down. I would have thought he could have got a berth with another SL club or maybe NL1 but if he wants to go to Union that's his choice.

Think he could of done better than NL2 Union side, Crusaders or even a top Championship side. Anyway good luck Motu, FC legend !

Get the feeling he's playing for Hull to prove his fitness before looking for another RL deal. Good luck to him

Not sure how playing in that backs in RU will prove anything, other than whether he can handle been cold or not.

As funny as you signing Chris Chester? The man who kept Smith + Nephew afloat?

That's me buying a Hull RUFC shirt.

Do they do one in pink?

Flowers? What do you think I am?!?!
