While I dont think anyone would argue in hindsight that it was a poor move, I think that is an overstatement, first of all whos to say that if he had stayed at the club in the mess it is in now he would have become the player he is today becuase he has vastly improved, although still overhyped in my opinion, at the back on end of the 2006 especially and a lot of the 2007 season Motu was the better the fullback at the club, his form in our grand final run in was awesome and the Leeds away game in that period was one of the best ever individual performances from a Hull player I can remember, had it not been for the injuries this could have continued.
As much as we all hate saying it the Rovers move was great for Briscoe, he left us when we were in a serious slide after Cooke left and wasnt replaced, to a team moving in the right direction and looking to better itself, when he was here he was a great support player and gave his all but was very flawed in defence and he also let the ball bounce like Motu gets slaughtered for, he now seems to be a very solid fullback and very confident, I question if he would have progressed like he has at rovers if he was still at our club now with our negative rugby, poor coaching and general lack of player confidence at the club.
