Anyway, ignore the jealousy, hes a fantastic player and a real character, delighted to see him in England and in the championship, even if it isnt with Fax.'"
Fui Fui isnt the 1 st Moi Moi to play for Leigh, a distant relative Robert took a recipe for ' Lobby ' back to Tonga, this is more of a pilgramage to discover the source of an ancient delicasy , and to pay homage to it, he is honour bound to travel to Leigh and to play for us for free, well not free, just free lobby  |

Quality signing, look forward to seeing him charging up the hill at Fev
Hope he lives up to the hype and not a dab squib for everyone concerned
I bet it was easy getting motivated playing the likes of Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney every year
Im not so sure a rainy day sat in the A580 roadworks on the way to even wetter climates of Whitehaven and Workington will have the same pull - especially at his age
Lets hope we all arent disappointed

Methinks the offer of free hog roasts and free range eggs off Lee Hansen was a major factor!  |

He should indeed. I've decided to back the clubs investment by buying a new Leigh shirt for me and my son..so that's not far off a 100 quid right there.
Tipster Ste - what odds are you giving for a sell-out for the Bradford game? |

I think there are a few factors...
leigh is a winning team moving forward with an excellent family spirit, we have a history of welcoming Tongan players and there is a strong community in the area, the LSV has excellent facilities, full time contract with lower intensity could extend a players career.
can't see how Salford is a more attractive proposition other than money. |

Bet Fui was in the bag before Koukash even dreamed of signing him.

It is Fui Fui Moi Moi? Oh my, just how did we keep it secret for so long ?
On a serious note that is a splendid signing. I remember the buzz of the crowd when he charged the ball in for Tonga in the world cup match back at Leigh last winter.
I have already purchased 2 children's shirts for Xmas presents. I know a young lad that would love Fui Fui on the back. Can this be done at the market ?
