kiwis to do parra a favour

[douglasallen91]

sorry if this has been brought up already

kiwis are going to name fuifuimoimoi in the tri nations squad so there will be five to six weeks rubbed off his suspension.

they are doing this so he only misses like 3 matches next year and therefore more chance to shine before the anzac test.

 

[strider]

yay for the kiwis.

and lets be honest - he was playing really well and deserved it

 

[Parra Guru]

It would be good. His suspension is a joke.

Hopefully the trial games will rub a few off aswell!

 

[Suitman]

Can they actually do that??

I mean, picking him when you know he can't play?

Suity

 

[Hurriflatch]

I guess we'll find out

Would be very good tho

Fui's already served 2 weeks of the suspension
+ the 5 weeks for the Tri Nations
+ 2 trial games

means Fui can play in round 1

I'm sure the NRL would keep such loopholes for the likes of their glamour boys to use incase they slip through the judiciary obstacles and get a week off

[Morenito]

Hope its true

Fui is set to explode next year

 

[Zippy Eel]

God, I hope its true. FREE FUI

 

[Parrasque]

Are you serious?

That's so awesome!

Although I would have loved to have seen Fui Fui playing for New Zealand - he deserves it.

nzrl boss sel pearson

some lines in the article.

• kiwi league officials have picked a scrap with the nrl by selecting fuifui moimoi for the tri series despite a nine week suspension.
• Instead nzrl boss sel pearson said the move was to highlight inconsistencies with the judiciary, and to allow moimoi to be available for the 2006 nrl kickoff.
• pearson quote "as far as i am concerned if the selectors want him, they can have him. how many times have you seen a player put out in the nrl and he can't play a test match? too many." "i'm going to get (coach) brian mcclennan to name fuifui moimoi in his new zealand team. So that is two aussie games, two pommy games, a french gameand if we make the tri-series final that is six games." (their is an english game scheduled too).
• pearson quote "i can tell you parramatta were excited when i said i was going to name him." "the nrl do it to us all the time, don't they? they can't not do it in reverse."
• pearson "if THEY want to use rep games towards a suspension, then why can't I?".

Good on the Kiwi's for sticking it to the NRL.
The length of the suspension is absurd.

douglas, thanks for the info. if it's wrong, i'll kill you

 

[strider]

The NRL will surely make a 12th hour rule change to close the loophole for fui .... and king of all dimwits Woods will make some lame rulingbased on nothing but what he actually wants to happen - cos they wanted fui gone for a while and they've stopped at nothing so far.
