Fuifui Moimoi on is way to us

Great name! Even if he's not he player he once was I reckon his rep alone may ignite a bit of interest in the causal Wakefield RL fan. With four solid props someone who offers something a little different could be a good thing.

Don't believe that for one second - however it would have the SKY team wetting themselves.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; he's a RL character and would certainly create a stir.

And Vasty's right about Sky - look how they wet themselves over Masoe and Pettybourne - two 'wrecking ball' players who've actually turned out to be fairly uninspiring.

MoiMoi would be a great replacement for Tautai; 15 minutes per half of hard, straight drives and despite his advancing years, if you're going to tackle him, you have to mean it - he still leaves defenders wounded in his wake.

I'd stick a quid in.

He's been a shadow of his former self for a couple of years i'm afraid. He would probably create a little bit of media interest due to his 'cult figure' status but at 35 his contribution to the team would i reckon be less than either Tautai or Moore has this year whilst i'd wager his salary would be larger than either. And the only thing thats going to stoke the fires of the Wakefield public is a winning team. He does though have big hair so we might be able to flog some wigs.

No need.. I still have my Talipeau one in the loft !

If Fuifui signs I'll wear my Parramatta Eels shirt; well I have to make him feel welcome

seconded! all aboard the moi moi express
hope this rumour true

I would guess that it would be a big lump of our SC tied up on a 35 year old playing small minutes.
It doesn't sound like a wakey player to me.

It depends what purpose(s) he serves!

If he's been signed with one eye on the marketing value of his name with a part rationale of generating some interest from a percentage of the apathetic Wakefield fan base, then it's a shrewd decision. If that can be combined with some big impact off the bench for 15 minutes a half throughout the season then as long as he's not on Wayne Rooneys wages he's a good signing for a year or possibly two.

If we think he's coming purely as a player and that he's going to rip SL apart with power and pace and be the answer to all our problems then he'll be seen as a failure and we will be disappointed.

A sense of proportion and realism would have to be adopted from fans and just enjoy his time in a Wakefield shirt, IF he's coming at all!

I don't believe for one second he is the type of player we would spend money on because how many so called senior props from the NRL are currently regulars in the SL. The problem is that his body will be shot due to the number of years he has been playing in the NRL.

I don't think it would generate anything more than a small initial interest by some, which would soon dissipate if results were poor and he would then soon be forgotten.
Winning games would increase income and for me a gimmick is not the way to achieve it.

Its a no from me, maybe 3-5 years ago but now now.

I had to take a double look at this when I saw the title of the thread thinking it was connected to a terrorist organisation in the middle east ! Definately O/T.
