Great signing for you guys, I have been watching him in on PR Sports in the NRL for a few years, big player, big character, he could have the same impact a certain Joe Grimma had for my team Keighley back in the 90s, I would imagine his cult following at Leigh will be right up there with a certain Timmy Street(used to love watching him play, ticking time bomb springs to mind) love Fui's famous quote from 2003 after the coach at South's questioned him on his training or lack of it, at the time he only played off the bench “Fuifui play 10 minutes, Fuifui train 10 minutes,” .

The Watcher has been reluctant to post about Moimoi because he has a different opinion to almost all the contributors so far, however the more he thinks about this signing the more he feels his view is worthy of writing. We as a club have been down this road before signing very senior players who have had great careers, J Roper, D Fleary, R Paul, S McCurrie, R Goulding & V Mautautia to name but a few. None of whom did very well, in the Watchers eyes, we as a club are very blessed in the prop forward department are we not? If Leigh as a club have got a few quid to sign a marquee player why oh why have we not been out & signed a top level 6, 7,2 or 5? Surely that would have made more sense, get someone in where we are a bit short on top class talent. The Watcher does hope his reservations about signing MoiMoi are unfounded & that he does put 150/200 on the gate & is a roaring success but he wont be holding his brea

Rest assured that accountants from London are paying close attention to this matter.

Are they the same accountants that paid close attention to the accounts of the Bronquins ?

No wonder you went bump if they are looking at what everybody else is doing !

I hope that Leigh Centurions have acquired the services of Mr. Moi Moi within the bounds of the Championship salary cap. If this purchase is not all above board, then it will likely come back to bite you.

Have a day off from being a total weapon will you and get back onto the VT with the other muppets.

When is he over here then? Doesn't leave him a lot of time to gel with his new team if he's not here yet?

Re: Fuifui Moimoi : Thu Dec 11, 2014 10:29 pm  

1st week of Jan, gives him 6/7 weeks to gel.

Is Fui Fui related to Robert Moi Moi who played for Leigh in 1988?

I was wondering about this as well - anybody got an answer?

Re: Fuifui Moimoi : Fri Dec 12, 2014 10:15 am  

I think Robert is a Samoan, so probably not related.
