Parramatta CEO Paul Osborne was so confident that he had secured a two-year extension that late last year he told The Daily Telegraph that the deal was done, as was a contract with Luke Burt.
However, while Luke Burt's contract has since been formalised, Moimoi's has not despite the fact that last week he played his 100th NRL game in a week. I raised the issue here last week, writing:
"If you cast your mind back, both Luke and Fuifui were reported to have agreed to terms some while ago and I must admit I was little worried when they announced Luke's new deal but not Fuifui's. There has of course been some mumblings that Fuifui has not been at all happy coming off the bench."

Those mumblings I'd been privy too had linked Moimoi to the Bulldogs, who at that stage were looking at needing to find a replacement for Ben Hannant. However, in the Daily Telegraph today it was confirmed that Moimoi had not signed and had been linked with the Warriors as well as the Bulldogs.
Moimoi, who was previously managed by current-Eels chairman Roy Spagnolo, now has a new manager who according to the Telegraph "downplayed the chances of Moimoi leaving but did confirm that he intended to meet with Osborne to discuss the situation this week".
"Now aged 30, Moimoi understands the next two years are his last genuine chance to secure a big payday for his young family before retirement. But on the other hand he loves the Eels and is loath to upset the likes of Spagnolo, who have supported him when no one else did."

they cant let him go
its that simple ....
im banking that clayless will retire and that could help with the fui fui
situation
May I add for those calling for his sacking already, if you judged players on a 4 week window of form then in 08 we should of sacked Hayne, Moimoi gone in 2005 and even 06.
The short sightedness of some people amazes me sometimes.
Give the guy a break and let him work with Ando on getting his game at Parra in gear. He's clearly got talent and capability - just like Moi Moi the coach just has to figure out how to extract it.
Poore will come good team - give him some more time....
The club has already made its offer -- we SHOULD NOT be lifting our offer. If he and his player manager want to chase the dollars - let him leave. The club has been great to Fui and he should stick to his verbal agreement to sign on the terms put before him in December
we have to watch the useless prick!
no wonder wayne bennett got rid of him!
