More half hearted journalism IMO.
Is it me, or has Mullan lost it completely and resorted to making stuff up? Jake Websters's leaving (then re-signs), Hall going to Rovers (Hall denies going to Rovers), I'm sure there are more examples. Who are his sources, as they seem to be having a laugh at his expense?

Motu Tony is a funny case. He actually got worse as his career went on. He debuted for the Warriors in 2001 and had a great first game. Played consistently for the rest of the year but was never the same player after 2001. By the time he went to the Superleague in 2004, he was a shadow of his former self. Maybe it’s because of the injuries. In saying that, he never looked like a natural footballer if you know what I mean.
Lets just be logical here, I’M GREAT, end of story.

Think you'll find that was James Smailes

disagree, he had an awesome 2006 for us and was our player of the year IIRC. He was great throughout his spell for us, it was just the last 2 years of injuries that meant it was time to move him on.
Indeed. But that's exactly what he's trying to do. If he played all next season in NL1 and didnt miss any games i'd take a chance on him the year after to play 9 with Houghton when Berro goes.

On this occasion, Mullen's not to blame, the quoted article being on the BBC. However, he does tend to get far more wrong than right! G. Horne to Rovers was another classic, along with the arrival of Clinton at the fans forum!

In these times were coaches do like having utility players in their squads, a fully fit Motu Tony is perhaps one of the finest examples of a good utility player as you can get. I don't think there can be many players who cover hooker and full back, and anywhere in between. On his day, as good as anyone. I was always frightened to death when he was at the back and had a propensity for letting the high ball bounce. But as another poster has written, that try in the CC final 2005 was pure genius.
