Moimoi update

[Hurriflatch]

Bruno Cullen was forced to apologise to prevent a $10,000 fine for his comments re: Moimoi's tackle

Dennis seems certain to do whatever he can to get Fui off his trying to get other camera angles and will launch an appeal.

 

[Morenito]

Lets hope the new angle arrives.

That's been going on quite regularly these last few days.

If Denis is working on the appeal, I just hope Smithy and the boys are concentrating on planning life without Fui for this week. Denis and Fui working hard in the corner could become a distraction.

i can't believe they have no other camera angles of it - what did channel 9 only take 1 camera to the game?....hate to break it to you denis but another angle may kinda ruin the case :lol:....altho if they r that keen to find one, maybe they really believe he didn't clonk the guy

 

[katie]

channel 9 had the guys on the sideline with the handy cam going the whole game so why weren't they able to obtain footage from that???? probably because it looked worse from that angle lol

 

[Jake the snake]

If it were a Broncos player that did that to Tim Smith I would be spewing, Fui deserved to be suspended it was a bad tackle. He didn't deserve 9 weeks though. That loading system is a joke.

 

[Stagger eel]

this is not a tragedy, let's let it go and move on, we can do a number on Manly without him.

 

[ParraDude_Jay]

We need him for the tough games though, he makes so many metres and really damages the opposition.

If it were a 1 week ban nobody would complain, but 9 weeks is way too harsh. He deserves a suspension though, but you won't hear me complain if they can get him out of it, he's a very crucial part of the team now.

Has anyone thought of Fui in all of this. The guy is being robbed of his first finals appearance. Just because he doesnt speak much english and can't interpret the rules doesnt mean he should be outed for 9 weeks!

:lol:
Thats a long bow to draw, isnt it?

I mean, whats to interpret about taking a guys head off?

As Jake said, if Tim Smith was on the end of that hit, we'd be blowing up.

St George tried that earlier this year with Wes Naiqama and his tripping incident. :lol:

Didn't work for them though.

 

[Kornstar]

Wes Naquaima (or however you spell it) tried that defence for his tripping charge.....didn't work for and aint gonna work for Fui......

Well everyone keeps saying if it happened to Timmy, well it happened to Morris against the raiders and Gaffa got away with it, why does Fui get charged?????

 

[shiftysmith]

when would the appeal take place if granted?

 

[The Colonel]

Before the weekend.... probably tomoprrow. It is cutting it fine though. I'm not sure an appeal was lodged at this stage...

thanks... i think its worth appealing as the rest of the boys will still be hard at training,its not as though we have lost tim smith who alot of our training drills would revolve around

Very interesting point you raise there Strider.

Because when Michael Vella scored his try, there was doubt over the grounding and Sterlo said as much in commentary. But they never showed another angle which I was really surprised about at the time. It is very rare that they only show the one replay.

I don't think they had the normal behind the goal line camera. If they did - they didn't use it.
