Moses Suli

[midsteyne]

Ok I confess, I saw him on my dads recordered vhs videos . He was also dads favourite player . I never saw Sharon Stone live either but she was still hot looking on TV just as hot as the Incomparable Immortal when he was burning up the grass scoring tries .

He was a sight to behold

Good video! I did see a few other players out there giving Bob a hand though. 😉

I now know where Sam Burgess got his cat playing style from, seeing captain coach tommy bishop hit and run so often!

I wonder what it was like watching the games live back then?



(was it in colour or was the world black and white? Or was it in colour but the only colours were black and white?)

They were tough bastards!

They were tough bastards!

Players had no where to hide back then , even the refs turned a blind eye .
So they had to be tough

They were tough bastards!

Unbelievably hard... every one of them. There was no sport anywhere in the world more brutal than rugby league back then. Several years ago, Harvard University compiled a study whereby they graded the hardest sports on the human body. Number one was the UFC. The NRL came in at numvber two.

might be ok, has a youtube clip which is the requirement but needs to improve on the soundtrack

NRL FOX

MANLY coach Trent Barrett has put the onus on Moses Suli to prove he belongs in the NRL by cashing in on his third chance in the space of two months.
The Sea Eagles this week signed Suli despite the 19-year-old getting sacked from the Wests Tigers and Canterbury during the off-season for a lack of professionalism.

Suli, whose weight is believed to have ballooned over the summer, has completed a number of screening tests at the club but has yet to begin training and won’t play this weekend.

Barrett said it was up to Suli to turn his career around.


“He’s only been there a few days. He’s not a bad kid. He’s a nice kid. He’s just got to get a few things sorted out,” Barrett said prior to his team’s captain’s run on Thursday.

“We’ll give an opportunity to do that.

“But certainly my focus this week’s been on the first grade side. We’ll do our best there but ultimately it’s up to the individual. I’ll just take that a day at a time.”

The Sea Eagles are likely to have picked up Suli on a far cheaper contract than the $1-million, three-year deal he signed with the Tigers last year before he made his NRL debut.


His arrival comes despite the NRL’s protracted investigation into salary cap cheating.

Manly were hopeful the governing body would finalise its decision on the matter after meeting with NRL officials last week.

“We were hoping that it’d be sorted out by now, but it’s out of our control,” Barrett said.

“It certainly hasn’t affected the players. It would be nice to get a bit of clarity on where we’re going, not just for this year but what our position is next year and beyond.

“Your salary cap and recruitment doesn’t stop. But unfortunately for us we’ve had the brakes on for a while now. Scott Penn and Lyall (Manly CEO Lyall Gorman) are doing their best to get a result.

“Hopefully it’s not too far away.”

Suli has been signed on a 12 week train and trial contract worth roughly $1000 a week. It's up to him to get fit and healthy over the next couple of months or he'll be off our hands and the collateral damage will be minimal for Manly.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Geez I hope he comes through. This kid has X factor which is a rare commodity.

That's great insentive for the young fellas. It gives him something which is achievable. A short term goal which is easier for him to focus on. Perhaps if he comes good he could be added as the 30th player under the cap in time for the deadline.

Tigers and Bulldogs had much bigger incentive. They both didn't work.

This kid doesn't need an incentive ATM. He just needs to play 20's. Have good people around him. Enjoy Life. Things can turn around quickly.

But his head is clearly not on footy at the moment.

I think he means it's good that the kid hasn't been spoon fed over a million dollars and the promise of three years in the NRL...that's why his head is scrambled in the first place.

He has never had to work for anything...when everything comes easy, you become complacent. It's his last chance (for the time being anyway - at least the foreseeable future) so he has to make something of it or lay bricks. Better chance of him straightening out with incentives to work hard, then to be gifted a long term contract on big money.

Our club appears to have handled this one pretty well.

There has been way too many tragic examples, of kids not handling the pressures of the league industry.

Its good to see our club has him, linking with friends, a past coach, made him a 20's signing, focusing more on his welfare.

The kid has seemingly got no interest and turned his back, on 2 massive contracts.

If he does fight his way back. It will only happen when his head is in a much better space. The weight of expectation need not be added upon by us on here.

Are you saying the leagues "family club" just kicked the kid to curb and washed their hands of him?!? How dare you!

 

[The Who]

Just back from 24 days in India, UAE, Oman etc. Did I miss anything???
I am wondering if/where Suli has played for Manly?
Will he be in the Jersey Flegg?
Also, I can't understand why our JF team is not performing to expectations. They have several 'guns' from our premiership-winning Under 20s. I thought they'd romp in this season...

 

[Chip and Chase]

AFAIK he hasn't laced on a boot for us yet.

 

[40 years an eagle]

I think he is just doing conditioning work ATM.
Slowly, slowly, catchy monkey is the key for this kid being useful to us and himself right now.
