He was knocked out because of the way his head hit the ground, it looked worse because he got twisted between the two players, hence the way his head smashed into the turf

Fui was unlucky.

alot of one eyed parra fans here, it was a swinging arm to the head and kite was knocked out before he hit the ground, definatly a send off, with his record 6-8 weeks

Kite after laying motionless on the ground for 5 mins got booed and jeered from the field, yet 20 seconds later fui is awarded a standing ovation like he'd just returned from WW1 :roll:

You keep telling yourself that.

Everyone clapped him off - I was concerned for the bloke just laying there.

We clapped off Fui too - so what? You would have done the same for one of your players who, at the time, you thought had been hardly done by.

Seeing replays after the match, Fui got him high but I'm convinced Kite was falling and the intent was not there. Hopefully, if there is any justice, he will sit out the rest of the regular season. After that? It's up to the rest of the boys to decide whether he plays NRL again this year.

Grade 4 Reckless IMO.

Moi Moi deserves a lengthy spell for that very ugly hit. He'll actually be lucky not to be hit with an intentional charge.

Weren't you the same guy saying 'Hindmarsh is overrated' a couple of weeks ago?

Good luck to the Judicary proving intent from that.

If Kite didn't get knocked out no one would make much of a fuss about it.

Sure, it was high and it was a swinging arm and he should do some time on the sidelines but it wasn't as bad as alot of people are saying.

How can you Parra supporters be condoning that swinging arm? Easily the worst of the season, if not a couple of seasons.

Stupid logic. Kite got smashed by a swinging arm to his head, of course he's going to be knocked out.

It's like saying that if Galloway wasn't knocked out after Hoppa's elbow then no-one would've made a fuss about that.

If Eels make it so will Moimoi

July 31, 2006

EELS prop Fuifui Moimoi may be free to play before the finals, despite being sent off for his latest tackling indiscretion in Saturday night's win over Manly at Parramatta.

In a further boost to the Eels hopes of making the finals, Moimoi is unlikely to receive a punishment as severe as the nine-match suspension that prematurely ended his season last year when he unsuccessfully challenged a grade-two reckless high tackle charge.

While the 50th-minute tackle that forced Sea Eagles front-rower Brent Kite from the field may also be classified as reckless, it did not appear as bad and Moimoi's clean record since also means he will receive less loading on the penalty meted out today when the match review committee studies weekend incidents, including a high tackle by Warriors prop Ruben Wiki.

Had Moimoi not had any judiciary problems in the previous two years, he would have received only a three-match suspension for the tackle in round 26 of last year's competition, as the base penalty for a grade-two reckless high shot is 350 demerit points, with each 100 points equating to a one-game ban.

Each similar offence carries a 50 per cent loading, while non-similar offences carry 20 per cent loading, and Moimoi had another charge last year for which he was found guilty of a grade-five careless high tackle that will add to his latest penalty.

However, with a grade-one reckless high tackle worth a base penalty of 300 demerit points, Moimoi, who has 11 carry-over points, would be able to escape with a four-match suspension even after his 100 per cent loading is added if he pleads guilty and, therefore, receives a 25 per cent discount.

Such a penalty would enable Moimoi to return for Parramatta's last premiership game, against North Queensland in Townsville.

He would also be available for New Zealand in the Tri-Nations. With Wiki's poor judiciary record and the Warriors out of finals contention, the Kiwis may be looking for a prop in the opening match against Australia in Auckland on October 14.

Moimoi was chosen to make his Test debut against Great Britain last month but the Eels refused to release him.

It will be lucky if he gets four weeks. I expect a bit more but the send off will be considered as well. If he hadn't have been marched we wouldn't see him back until next year....

It wasn't a good tackle by any means but the fall caused as much damage if not more than the tackle itself. Undoubtedly deserves a suspension though.....

Worst of the season? You can't have been watching too many games...

The fact the Kite was "falling" should not bare anything in the matter. You can't tackle that high thinking you will get them if they are standing dead-set upright.

Actually Cliffy it should, if you have every played footy you will know how quickly things happen on the field and how this can have an effect on your timing.

That being said the shot was high and Fui was sent off, he will also cop a suspension. Moi Moi is not a grub, he plays a hard game and and has screwed up in his timing.

A grub is someone like Dunley who in consecutive games at Parra Stadium has spat and used knees.

I can see Fui using alot of Hoppa's defences as his career defences.

Now what he needs to do is find himself a good Mormon woman and have half a dozen kids so they can put them on screen every time he has a brain explosion and Fitzy can implore us to think of his kids...

Terrible, dog shot. It doesn't matter whether the intent was there (do yo really think Hoppa was intending to take Gallens head off?), it was a shocker!

If Fui Fui played for Manly and he did that to Cayless or Hindmarsh I would be calling for his head! Definently a send off and he will get a minimum of 6 weeks.

In his favour will be Kite getting tackled by Deano and falling. Initial contact was shoulder - without a doubt, and Adrian Morley getting a lighter sentence than deserved.

Was deffinently a send off offence. No question

However idiots that want to bag Fui Fui for the way he plays his game, remarks of lack of witts and even a dumb RACIST remark is poor form!!

Here is a young man that has come from nowhere to be one of the most determined hard running forwards in our game. He plays above his weight every week and wouldn't know how to spell the word MALICE!!

He has come from being a Reserve grader at South Sydney to be short listed to play for his country! His first game for Parramatta I saw him go for the water bottle before making a tackle or a hit up. Now he makes 100+ metres on average a week and plays close to 40 minutes.

No wonder he got cheered off the field. It wasn't because he made a bad tackle that injured a Manly player. It was for his continued effort in the Blue & Gold!!

Never any malice in that... From what i saw didnt deserve to be marched, but does deserve a 6-8 week suspension.
I thought Wiki's was marginally better.

I can think of plenty worse tacklers going around, and plenty worse high shots.
