And yes, loved Sammy.
Always bent the line with his speed and power running.
Always landed on his chest and got a quick ptb.
Also had a killer short ball; and one which may have won us the GF.
A strong defender and a great & very articulate bloke too.
In terms of value for money he's one of our greatest signings.

Moa brought a unique angle to the position because he wasn't particularly tall but was a nuggetie bloke who could use that lower centre of gravity to cause havoc. Height is a distinct advantage and I'm not trying to call it a disadvantage, but Moa and Jennings (similar kinda height) are frigging impossible to tackle because they've tricky to bring down and force taller players to bend down into positions where they are less effective (or risk getting penalised for going high).
Moa's a great person too! Not gonna quote him (what happened in Canberra can stay there) but I still remember him protecting Fergo from a heap of drunk, jeering Raiders fans. Fergo had just signed and they came to Canberra to do a few sessions (at the Raiders club near Kippax for whatever reason). Fergo was facing court for sentencing in a few months so was just sucking up all the insults from a heap of drunk Raiders tools sitting up on a balcony spitting down at him and stuff. One of the fans said something that clearly got to Fergo a little, then Moa hit back with a sharp lip. The guys in the balcony were stunned and said no more...
Dunno why but I always remember that as a defining moment where Moa showed he's more than just a player... he's willing to step up for a mate. Also (a but like Cords) he knows the limits so can throw a witty verbal punch without over-strpping the line and getting in trouble.Last edited by ism22; 05-30-2017, 09:47 PM.

Word for word, except I might've pushed the expletives about DCE to a further boundary.
Love to see Sam work for us post retirement.
