Sam Burgess on Fuifui Moimoi

[@MalcolmWallace]

a strong run from Fuifui and a determined tackle from Sam. Both deserve a nod for their commitment to that play.

[@tomjohnson2654]

@M who hurt you?

[@juniorfinau7048]

Sam Burgess and Fui Fui Moi Moi have the sort of the same tactics like 1. they both run hard and bump people off 2. they do big hits on good rugby league players 3. they have a big heart and is not scared of anything 4. they both train hard and put a lot of effort in rugby 5. they also play like a team player I reckon this is what NRL coaches are looking for so any young rugby league players out their keep this in your head :)

[@kiarabear77]

Hey im a aussie and love the nrl, big sam bought a hell of alot of excitment this year, it was awesome seeing he's hits. He seems a really nice bloke too.

[@GUNNSTARZ]

awesome hit sam!!!! two of my fave props going at it, either way they will be in my team of the year

[@reiny6474]

@kauwhata01 thxs, plus if u touch the corner post before putting the ball down is that a try???

[@Richard1H65S]

Sam Burgess is quickly becoming the best English player to play in the NRL. Great shot..

[@footyboy727]

@ Robafella79.. how could this be last weekend if the video was added at the start of last year? :S

[@tallis76]

is there any way to get this clip with the commentary and not the music???

[@tomhigton]

@spinert hitting it up 4 times than kicking on the 5th tackle every single set isn't repetitive?

[@Jonwallachio]

@cnb6 There is a high tackle rule, but shoulder charges (which is what this was) are legal.

[@ylilycam]

is that off abba's greatest hits album or the fernando album?...truly soothing beautiful music....

[@WHITESrBACK]

i thought the music suited the vid tbh. anyway y r we gonna miss him? still got tht shoulder problem?

[@Coloseum01]

These guys deserve every cent they receive. In the old days, blokes played for $100 and a few beers after the game. They also held down full-time jobs.

[@Knoed]

whats the name of the song please?

[@MarkWilliams-so6vc]

I,m sure I read some where that Fuifui could not chew food for 3 or 4 days after this match and used a straw meantime ?

[@shane2kenny]

@terrortorn i agree with @1000birdjutsu the work in RL is 'catch, run, hit, tackle', i dont doubt for a second the physical aspect and athleticism required but, they dont have to do that along with scrums, rucks, mauls and lineouts. yes the hits in RL might be bigger and more explosive but its all they have to do.

[@KevLeamy]

what song is that?

[@tenuingahenry5648]

Loved both players, but as we all know fuifui would run like that every time he got the ball in hand, how many time could big Sam hit like that if fuifui ran at him every time he had the ball🤔would have been an interesting thing to watch thats for sure👍

[@MrKelso85]

7/10 I reckon physics and Power Sam 19 stone 6ft 5 vs Fui Moi 6ft 16 stone 5 brother that’s a BIG z difference in size

[@skittification]

@FalkenBest seems like you are hurting as much as Fuifui Moimoi. p.s. Do all you Kiwis stutter?

[@carntspell]

That`s a pretty interesting video, because it shows how the forearm slam or whatever you want to call it has become a big thing now in league. I don`t remember seeing it much in the 90s but correct me if I`m wrong. I personally like the full shoulder into the opponents` ribs tackles like Dean Lance or David Gillespie were very capable of but this is relatively new, Sonny Bill being the poster boy.

[@jarratt94]

@ianwalker1980 Northern? London Skolars and Harlequins are both london sides in Rugby League

[@SirOrganic]

I remember this series. After that hit. Fui actually never ran that hard at GB for the remaining tests.

[@dannie2712]

Hit? Was more like a big push, was nothing in it fui fui wasnt even hurt.

[@MrKelso85]

@@dannie2712 I can still taste the bitterness in this comment a year later

[@dannie2712]

@@MrKelso85 i bet you're still bitter about the flogging the Kiwi's gave to the Lions in 2019 lol better yet check the World rankings 👍

[@Antonio275ful]

FuiFui Still has Guts ! He runs straight up all the time !!

[@Sickkindaguy]

@michael10196 considering Fui Fui Moi Moi was on liquids for a week after that hit (Y) face it, Burgess smashed Moi Moi

[@assasin1234]

anyone got the original video of this without the music

[@Neumo2007]

What a classic shot by Burgess!! I'm a Parra supporter and a fan of FuiFui. Can't say I've seen him ironed out like that too often lately, such a devastating ball runner. Sam had perfect timing on the contact here and plenty of time to line him up. Fui made himself an easy target here, shoulder charges are very hit and miss, the latter especially if the attacking player doesn't run so straight - I think Fui's footwork is much better now as a result. :-)

[@elephantbread]

takes some guts to stand in front of that man in full charge. credit to sam, was a brilliant hit.

[@JamesAH1]

Big collision... AWESOMENESS

[@jamesmorgan85]

Burgess will do well i reckon in nrl. I know Aussies dont know much about him but he is a quality forward who will only get better.

[@OhYeahOhYeahBaby]

@wo0dy1 Rugby League invented the offload. The stats will back me up too.

[@Crushermaul]

Wasn't that burgess getting skittled in the first play or was that someone else. The guy has been voted the one you least want to run at in the NRL by the players so that says he's got a highlight reel in him before he's finished

[@Outlawzand1]

@z0mgrugbyreturns Dang, I'll miss him. Btw does he have a 'nickname'?

[@StepLikeBenji]

Moimoi is such a better player now than in 2007 and he should take it to Burgess. Moimoi has increased his speed this year which makes him more powerful.

[@CaLMCee]

you could see Newton shitting himself as fui ran in, just abandoned Burgess to make the tackle himself. got relieved and giddy afterwards lol

[@paul82885]

@alysBoi1 erm adrian morley?

[@TonyWho0]

Fuifui Moimoi = best name in sport EVER!

[@Tylar122]

@thecoffeebob Cricket is played at a completely different time of the year. hard to compare them.

[@Richmond1966]

The Australian newspaper advises people to check this link out this morning.

[@joshakatubs]

i dont see why everyones bitching about whos better, moimoi is an amazing player and nz wouldnt be half the team they are without him but there's no denying burgess may possibly be the best player ever- he was playing for gb when he was about 17, give him a few years of experience and he will be the most undeniable great of rugby league

[@kaino1990]

cant see this happening again this year will be interesting to see but moimoi has been so good this year

[@JohnyTuff1]

I remember this game. 1st and last time I ever heard of this chump 'Sam Burgers'.

[@dan812]

lol

[@TeamKitoStaff]

I've never seen fui get pwned, I mean, he's always asking for it running head on full speed all the time but I've never seen it.

[@07Gixxer]

I think people underestimate the toughness of Frank Pritchard. He can take it to anyone on any given day too. Burgess and Moimoi will be epic this weekend!!!!

[@02071979matt]

Even more impressive considering fuifui's form this year. This Burgess is going to the Bunnies? Imagine a pack with him, Asotasi, Kidwell, Crocker and Taylor. MASSIVE.

[@Yoomilaad]

yh we do you lot talk like fui is a beast which big hitters do you have in NZ that knocked him on his arse like that

[@mad4oz2]

is that it?

[@dcc1980]

Sam Burgess is a monster of a player, he is as good as he was advertised before coming over to the NRL. It's unfortunate about the injury this year if he had stayed healthy South Sydney would of made the finals.

[@angelpa]

He had a good year, but number 1 prop might be a bit pre-mature, lets see if he can back up last season, if he can, then he's a definite contender.

[@shaff0011]

Sam is the man!Hes one of the few pomz that can play good footy(Ellis and Morley are the other 2)lol

[@infernogamers168]

thats not a tackle but then again it is rugby league, they do shit like that

[@leonidasaa]

Good luck to Sam in South Sydney. He might take some time to adjust to the different style of rugby that is played but he will make a real impact down there. Guy with his talent, attitude and work ethic won't be a failure.

[@Outlawzand1]

@DbKillFeed Lance is a tiny 5'9, but he's a damn good player and I hope he stays with the Warriors for more years to come

[@flaminjamin]

@thecoffeebob Rugby league was the most watched watch on Australian televesion in 2009 so I don't know what you're talking about. Last time I checked there were 6 states in Australia. RL is only dominant in 2 of those but those two states have 55% of the population.

[@johnkimble191]

100 kiwis disliked this video....lol

[@niotamatoamarsters6222]

No it's Americans

[@rumaddness961]

@MANCHESTER UNITED biggest by far and by far not the most powerful try again

[@patfinney100]

@karlj711 I like union because of the way the ball has to be worked at rucks and mauls and because I play front row, scrummaging. I enjoy watching league for the hits and the free running open play that leads to some great trys. I can see where you're coming from though, I suppose it's a case of horses for courses.

[@keepcalmandblametheblackgu9164]

Sam just held his ground i dont see a problem with that hit!

[@Destruckti0n]

@bazman420 .. I'm Australian and that's not illegal .. it wasn't head-high and his arms weren't being swung.

[@33981]

we are gunna miss him at Bradford but good look to him down under

[@SRCEE]

April 19, 2010 TIMANA TAHU was fed up with the bullying. Tahu took matters into his own hands. He didn't exactly go looking for him but when the opportunity presented itself seven minutes before half-time, he did not miss. In one of the bell-ringers of the season, Tahu shook the ball from Burgess's grasp and left one of the Bunnies' biggest on his backside." too bad we can't get the video of this hit.. burgess got put on his arse by a man half his size

[@bmostynsullivan]

anyone can do that to fui fui i saw a centre do it earlier that new guy plays for bulldogs only 18 done it in prelim final an also happend to him a fair bit in the final against storm by couple young and old players

HOLY SHIT! The physics in that collision is beyond belief!

[@MrRichieLee]

Cant wait to see how sam measures up against the best players in the NRL

[@JonnyBum]

He is right. If you play Rugby League, no matter how good you are, at some point, you're gonna get put on your back!! And that's why we love it!

[@Damnihatemakingnames]

Ok, think about this for a second all you people that are hating on this hit (take into consideration that I hate the poms)...Fui Fui was running as HARD as he could straight at Burgess and all Burgess did was throw a shoulder in front of Fui and it knocked him on his ass!...It really is a bloody great hit!!...But I doubt he'll ever do it again...though I'd love to see him TRY. :)

[@KeenOnTaka]

@MarkTatton Look, I'm a New Zealander, the All Blacks have only just in the last tri-nations started to look good, bringing back their expansive attack from inside their own half. Rugby league is all about running at the defense, long range tries, expansive football - and the fact you only have 5 tackles do to something with it before you lose the ball. Because of the rules in union, players become to complacent. And as for 'more aspects', those aspects just waste time and leave viewers confused

[@yuena4]

thats because fuifui was trying to step left and right which loss his momentum in the run, if he ran full straight in one line that would have been something

[@rockman2517]

if you watch the slo mo replay sam hit him while his feet were in the air, which makes the hit look bigger than it really was.

[@manaia7931]

man that fuifui moimoi must be hard .still got up and played the ball . now thats hard

[@TheAnandaXX]

arrh ya gotta luv the fuifui determination.... he sees a brickwall and runs hard at it..... with no reguard for his own safety...... old school forward....gotta a heart of concrete

[@FAIZABC]

I can't wait to see him in the red and green.

[@lennard]

100% agree, love that name

[@ynotnilknarf39]

Moi Moi got nailed as he pratted about stepping sidewards thus losing a lot of his forward momentum, at point of contact he is fairly upright and slightly off balance (his hips are twisted to his torso) which also doesn't help & Big Sam says have a spoonful of that yah big lug. On balance they're probably about the same in terms of been able to dish out big hits but the timing was spot on from Burgess. Not a particularly BIG hit but an effective one at the time.

[@LukeAnthonyDavey]

good shot mate, good luck in the NRL

[@PomBare]

nice footage, but it would be nice to hear the commentary

[@reiny6474]

is that legal??? im a rugby union guy, so i dont rly noe the rules in the nrl

[@otleybull]

I went to that game and that was a huge hit by Burgess on MoiMoi. Credit to Sam at 18 years of age mixing it up with the big boys. He'll be in the NRL in the next couple of years so I guess you Aussie/Kiwi's will get to have a closer look at him.

[@LUFC896]

[@Maz666Maz]

What video are you watching. it a straight up double arm shot - one of the hardest tackles to time correctly and if you get it wrong you get run over. Give the lad some credit it was perfectly timed, perfectly weighted and fui got owned. After a great start GB were on the back foot for a spell there and Sam got their heads back up and turned the game back to GB. if you think it was a lucky shot try playing the game at first grade and putting that shot on

Did Burgess actually attempt to tackle fui...looks like a forearm chopped fui down as it would anyone else..to fui's defense he got str8 back up..so it'couldnt have hurt

@OhYeahOhYeahBaby im not gonna argue with you about it, i dont see the point in being one of them union boys who gets slated by the league lads (like iv said i like both for their different reasons but where i live its union all round) but i personally cant see how theres more offloads in 80mins of league compared to 80 mins of union based on the games iv seen. thats just my opinion lol.
