I'd suggest any southernhemisphere players over 30 that move to the UK or France are topping up their pensions to a degree, hopefully if we do see FFMM in a Leigh shirt in the Championship he will give his best

Generally the attitude of the south sea islanders is a good one, I'd guess that ' full on ' is the only way he can play,

Yes, you are going to sell £104k per year worth of shirts and wigs. Whats the salary cap again?

That's assuming that he is on 2 grand a week. Not sure we can fully trust a 'rumour' heard by a fax fan about the financial details for a player that is still in Australia and hasn't even been announced as signed yet. I would expect Moi Moi (if he has signed for us) to be on a similar wage to our other top forwards. Possibly a bit more as a 'big name'. Certainly not 104k a year

What an absolute t-at, w is the missing word, explain why you think pond life?
Yes it was wrong, in my humble opinion, but I tell you what, if Sam had hit Dane that hard, Dane wouldn't have laid down.
It's easy to "cheap shot" on a key board.

He was on $300k a year at Parra plus other endorsements. Had coaching and other options open to him, so doubt he will travel to the other side of the world for minimum wage. Most high profile Aussies who travel to play in RL in the UK openly admit they do so for the money. Two grand a week sounds about right for someone of Moi Moi's profile.


Just an aside, a Parra fan posted a couple of years ago that they had named their cat "Fui Fui Meow Meow". Made me smile. If he does sign for Leigh, just hope he doesn't end up being a pussycat.

Answer 1 question honestly. Would you Fax fans want to see Moi Moi in your team in 2015?

I think the point hes making is someone who's played international RL plus NRL all his career probably has come up againgst a tougher opponent than Dane at some point

Only Mrshalifaxjohn is tougher than Dane!

Deluded fans you lot

Great post, really adds something to the debate, bet if you ever got on Mastermind when asked your name you would reply "pass"
Now try and add a little bit to your post, like deluded about what?
Oh I've got your answer "pass"

Yes I would say so, he could become a cult figure similar Geoff Robinson, the sort of player to help bump the crowds and give a lift to the fans and the team.
Good luck to him and Leigh if he does sign.

absolutely. why not!

Or would you rather his salary be spent on 3 players who could do arguably equally as good if not a better job?

Who would be these three better players be and would they get in the Leigh team?

If we still had a closed shop to SL, then without doubt a signing like FFMM would be pointless ,but with the new structure everything has changed, IF we have got him then I would hope it might help galvanise enough of the local population to look again at supporting the club

There is always a level of risk involved, but as I posted earlier, the SS Islander mentality is usually one of ' full on ' ,hopefully that is what we will see, IF of course he's coming to Leigh

Personally I think he would rip it up at Championship level and put bums on seats -whoever he plays for. I would enjoy watching him even if it was against Fax as he is 'full on' as some our past southern hemisphere players were and I had many happy hours watching those play. Good luck to Leigh if you have signed him he will add another dimension to what is already a cracking side at Champioship level. Our new signings are currently unknowns but so were Bella Nellar Hagan Ryan Robinson Heugh Kilroy etc and we all know what happened there!!! Looking forward to a cracking season this time for the first time in a long time.

The big announcement is tonight so we'll soon see

FUI FUI



coming to a town near you next year

Excellent. Are there any other well kept secrets you Leythers have got on the run up to Dec 25th?

Didn't realize he's 35. Good move for him. Nice boost to the pension pot and with absolutely nothing whatsoever to spend your money on in Leigh he'll be quids in.

Loads of supermarkets and pound shops and have i mentioned, theres a bus lane to Manchester coming soon

Halifax can manage without old Men like our Fuifui after all they've signed young Richard Moore haven't they Tee Hee,

We're as fax has lovely sandy beaches and 5 star Michelin restaurants wrong move fui mate...

Great for the league as it will certainly bring a bit more attention to Leigh and the games he's involved in. Risky though at 35 but maybe a risk worth taking to boost crowds but will also boost expectations. On balance glad he's in the league but probably also glad it's not with us!
