Big call with Motu - he didn't play a lot of FB for us really

I'm sure he played there something like 60 times. His moving to fullback coincided with the best rugby I've ever seen us play, under Peter Sharp when we made the GF. The left edge with Motu out the back was ridiculous and he was a huge part of it with his try assists. It's a shame we ran into IMO the best-ever SL team that season in the GF.

I actually think Wade McKinnon could have been our best fullback. Looked a very classy player in the few games he played. Was gutted when he left.

That was a good one, he was class though Treister, but Swain was a huge upgrade.

Another favourite discussion of old was "Where's Brough"?, anyone remember that one.

Think it was a game at Saints where he was the best player on the pitch by a distance and looked like he would be a brilliant signing like you say.
