He said: “I was at the Eels match (at the weekend) and was very happy with the spirit of the boys, you could feel the buzz about the place.
“There’s some fantastic players in the team and I’m looking forward to joining them to really push on this season.”
Eels CEO Bernie Gurr is more than happy to have secured the front-rower’s services.
He said: “We’re delighted to have captured the signature of Fuifui Moimoi.
“To compete in the NRL we need a good mix of experience and youth at the club.
“In our squad we have some fantastic younger forwards who are getting better and better every game.
“As well as adding even more physical presence to our already impressive pack, Fuifui will pass on his tremendous knowledge and experience gained at the highest international level in rugby league.”
Moimoi will not be available for selection for a couple of weeks due to ongoing paperwork.

Hmmmm! Don’t think so as he just signed with an English super league club! Bad source of information Chief! He’s way past it just like half the mob already here!
100 % spot on.

He'd still be the best prop at the club
Still better than captain Snowflake.
