Moimoi's mum doesn't like his hair

Posted by Phil Sim on August 29, 2009 at 7:59am
Eels chairman Ray Spagnola surprised prop Fuifui Moimoi by flying his son, mother and younger brother from Tonga to watch yesterday's game."Sani texted me from Auckland on the weekend and it got me thinking about getting him over for this game,'' Spagnolo told The Daily Telegraph."I wanted it to be a surprise for Fuifui, so he stayed with my family all day and we kept him out view at the stadium until fulltime.''Fuifui's mum Manise said she hadn't seen her son play since visiting last year, as the Tongan island the family lives on cannot receive NRL broadcasts."The only way I can see him play is to come to Australia. It's great to see him again, but I don't like his long hair. I want to cut it short like his brother.''

    what a great story, i love stuff like that, it shows that the club actually cares about it's players and their families. Good job Ray, somehow i don't think Dennis would have done something like that. Well Done!!!

    What would you expect from Mum beside 'yes your football's going well but get your hair cut!"
    And how would the nipper have felt when everytime he got the ball the crowd rumbled 'Fui Fui Fui...."

    He borrowed the hairpiece off tina turner...... don't think he will give it back....

    Awesome stuff, put a smile on my face for sure, something I can't imagine Fitzy doing. Plus it's also a very smart move by management, the club shows committment and compassion to Fui, who do you think he's going to stay with even if other clubs offer him big money????

    Awesome story. What a wonderful surprise it would have been for Fui to not only see his son but also his mum and brother. Good on you Roy that was beautiful what you did for Fui.

    Dont touch the hair - remember what happened to Samson when Delilah cut his hair???? -

    Not only should Fuifui not cut his hair, but I call on all Eels fans to avoid the hairdressers until our streak comes to the end. I can tell you, my mop is getting away from me, but I dare not visit the shearers for upsetting the applecart.

"I do not think they pick Tago. i reckon it is Samrani on that wing, purely based on Ryles picking him there before and playing decent there. Or if he is fit Dunster gets a crack."

"Not next week EA, a few weeks down the track. But i feel Samrani will do ok, not great but do a job.
Turbo will be picked for NSW, too much noise around it. Him, Jake, DCE and Olakau'atu. "

"Tago and Penisni (arguably two of the slowest outside backs in the NRL) up against Koula and Saab (the fastes outside backs in the NRL). Our forward pack should be able to handle their shit forward pack. But their 1-7 probably out shines ours."
