Being highly respected within NRL circles would be a good start.

It's a general managers job. Being a known player in the NRL leaves him a tad short of the relevant skills and experience for the job When I was little my ma n pa used to have a caravan. Doesn't mean I could go run Willerby holiday homes now
Was shocked when I heard this, with hindsight it was on the cards, but still its a tough one for us. Will be difficult to fill like for like. Wouldn't surprise me if Adam split the role and goes for a General Manager and a Head of Recruitment. Just Gutted. But so thankful we had Motu in the role long enough for him to put his cup winning finger print on the team. A great servant who's made a significant impact on the fortunes of Hull FC. Another incentive to get that big tin cup at Old Trafford.

just wondering if motu might still be involved with overseas recruitment to some extent, with him being based down there in future and with his contacts in nz and aus. would be useful, and might save the club sending someone halfway round the world to conduct negotiations

Tony had no previous experience of this role.
Remember, we do also have a CEO who runs the company. The GM position is very much focused to the Team. Personally I think its something Ellis COULD be good at. He would have six months of shadowing Tony to gain some practical experience and could use his contacts throughout the game.
CEO, in name yeah we do, he's not very experienced at taking the helm of company this size though, if any company of note aside from his own previously in fact. So, would rather have someone from outside the club with a proven record who can take the next step for the club as opposed to sentimental jobs for past players because they're friends with the coach or were 'popular' with team-mates/fans.

Shaun Briscoe will be a suitable relationship surely as an out and out specialist general manager rather than the utility value Motu provided by filling in In the role...
