Motu Tony signs with Broncos

Interesting move this...Wayne Bennett chooses his signings carefully & Tony hasn't exactly set the world on fire this season.

I don't really rate Tony, but maybe the Broncos can mold him into a good player.

Motu is a good player. There isn't much he can't do, I think people judge him harshly because of the perception that he runs across field to much. He has all the skills and is a quality player.

I know he isnt the greatest player, but im sure most teams would like to have an international like him in the side. He has great utility value, can cover fullback if anything happens to locky. can interchange with berrigan at dummy half. and even play 5/8 on a permenant basis. We could have done much worse.

Im sure Motu has some talent, unfortunately he has not shown much of it at the Warriors.

He could end up being the buy of the season next year because if he plays well then he'll be a very valuable player because of the fact that he can cover fullback & five-eighth.
