He is the sort of player at that age, that Saints, Wigan or Leeds could get away with but not Wake.

Ditto.

Another step in the direction of SL being the official retirement home for NRL players if true.
He's a great guy but I would be disappointed if we signed him.

Many years ago i would have said the same about ray price but it was an honour and a privilege to see him in red white n blue

The fact he's not making the team is down to the below players, all of which would walk in to any team in SL

Tim Mannah
Terepo
Tanginoa
Pauli Pali
Jr Paulo
Gower
Lussick

MoiMoi could absolutely do a job for us, he's always kept his self fit and has a great injury record, straight replacement for TT
Bring on the MOI MOI EXPRESS!!!

If we could afford him I think he'd be a great aquisition. Coming on for short periods of maximum impact he would supplement the rest of our bread and butter props.

Fair point but not the same. Ray Price came out of retirement and as a true legend (which moimoi isn't) he simply could not afford to fail. Moimoi on the other hand can and will even if he comes with the best of intentions. Put simply if it were about ambition he's join Leeds or Wigan, otherwise it's just about cash IMHO.

There are plenty of younger props in the NRL who can do what he can do these days for far less, why not sign one of those?

I really think we need to move on from these kind of signings, not just us but all of SL - concentrate in giving British players the chance to grow.

The 'draw' of FuiFui can't be ignored though; he's a RL character and would certainly pique the interest of anyone who's watched the NRL; the kind of player who could add a few on the gate. And 35 or not, for 20 mins each half, he can still be devastating.

All that said, if he's available and coming to SL, he'll be off to Salford - they've certainly found a way to make the cap work for them...

That's the bit I don't agree with, if he was still devastating he'd stay in the NRL IMO.

I personally don't think he has ever been that "devastating" but is an OK prop and a cult figure. I watch him play and he has a few good games but from what I have seen lately he plays in short bursts and still gets dominated quite a lot.

If there are a few clubs in the race for him I think we should concentrate our resources on someone who might bring more long term value.

I'm not sure how Asotasi has gone for Warrington this year but I would have had a similar opinion about him from watching him in the NRL over the past 2/3 years. Best years behind them

His style of play is ten a penny. The NRL don't use that style of player any more, they have moved on. He's only well known for his funny name . If he was called Ted Jones he wouldn't be on anyone's radar.

I'd sign him just for his name alone.

Watched him this season at Parramatta when he played at the beginning. Dropped for youngsters coming through. IMO wouldn't be worth a punt.

Absolutely Agree with this,
As some one who watches a heck of a lot of NRL, Moi Moi has always being loved by the fans and he would be loved by our fans and would defo draw the crowd, I also would imagine he would be Salford Bound too

Re comparisons to previous Aussie/kiwis who are getting on, Wasn't brad drew 34 when he left us, although he'd lost his pace he could still win a game on his own!
