Really don't know how we go about replacing him. Or Mini (even though I was unsure about his signing at first).
I remember reading an article when he signed, and his Dad (Ken) told him that if he signed for Hull and brought success, he'd be considered a club legend, which is not always the case at other clubs.
Job done.

Hopefully Motu has something up his sleeve.

Let's see if we can give Leeds a game on Friday, we're due to turn in a complete performance.
