People making alot about his age here. Think Leeds and Salford fans should be worried looking at their forwards some of whom are even older than FF

Steve Menzies (39), Jamie Peacock ( 37),Kylie Leuluai (37),Adrian Morley (3icon_cool.gif
Ages the players will be during the up and coming season or in Menzies case the age he was when he played his last game.

All played consistently well in SL without a doubt while being 35 or 36 - fact

Fui currently 35 will be 36 at the back end of the season(end of September)

It's not about age sometimes, it's about attitude, application and desire.

If Fui has this, and everything I have seen and know of him he undoubtedly has, he will rip our division apart and go on to help us achieve our dream to play in SL which I hope he stays for the journey.

cracking signing for you guys. massive name in RL. my only worry for you is that it turns into a Willie Mason signing like we had at Rovers. hopefully not though. packed out stands with big afro wigs is the way forward

Good points there, as the south sea islanders are known to like there grub, you only have to look at Feka to see what he has had to do to be taken seriously in his career.

Moi Moi's Age wont be a factor unless, as you say, he can stay focused and stay off the lobbies and full pigs

I just can't see anyone from the championship making it to Super League.

He is coming over for a pay packet and to eat some Wigan pies. The guy is past it and not got the Peacock mindset. He will not get in your team because will be the new fat Feka.

I Can

Mr Serious gotcha.

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 breath.

Ah but some wish you would

Probably because one of the main problems the game faces is that top level half backs are in very short supply, with Ridyard, Brierley , Reynolds, McNally & Ward I'd say we're actually quite blessed with talent in halves.

Yes we do have a lot of forwards but that's a good thing, most likely to get injured, most in need of rotation, sure Rowley can never have too many.

Fuifui Moimoi is one of the biggest names in the world of rugby league, not sure what other available signing we could have made that'd be getting headlines on both sides of the world.

The Maurice feels the watcher is right to have a point of view, even if it is blinkered and does not see out of the box
The Maurice noted the examples of previous flops and chuckled at the comparisons, the Maurice knows nothing in life is guaranteed but the benefits off field and within the squad of having the MoiMoi in the ranks are huge and far bigger than any of the players dragged up for comparison
The Maurice feels sad that some peoples lives are half empty and wishes them a speedy recovery

well said 'The Maurice' !!!
