Moore made the comments on Fox show NRL 360 last night while discussing the team's injured player Shaun Johnson.
"I don't see them losing the ability to still score points. They get points because they play that coconut style, Polynesian sort of football... throwing it around," he said,
Moore, who played 211 matches for the North Sydney Bears from 1989 to 1999 and 17 State of Origin clashes for Queensland, has been criticised for the comment, with many describing it as racist.
Twitter users were quick to chide Moore, saying he risked coming off as ''culturally insensitive''.
Moore added that the Warriors could still win without Johnson as long as they sort out their fifth tackle options.
"It's whether they can get stable at fifth tackle option, that's where they'll lose out.
"If they can create that and get themselves in the right position on the field I think there's enough points in them."
Moore's remark comes as Australia battles a racism debate over the booing of Aboriginal AFL player Adam Goodes.
Goodes has taken extended leave from the Sydney Swans and is reportedly considering retirement after being repeatedly booed during a game in Perth.
As AFL and NRL players rally behind Goodes, Shane Warne tweeted the booing had nothing to do with racism.
"This whole Adam Goodes drama is ridiculous. The public can boo or chant whoever's name they want! It's nothing to do with being racist... ," Warne wrote.
"If the public don't like a sportsman because of the way they play the game, they boo, if they like them they cheer, nothing to do re racism."
Warne was bombarded with responses from fellow Twitter users saying he was off the mark.
Warne and Goodes were previously involved in a Twitter stoush in 2014, when the cricketer accused Goodes of diving during AFL games.
The famed spin bowler also expressed his "shock" when he was informed Goodes was the current Australian of the Year.
"Shocked as I just found out Goodes was Aust of the year, wow ! Who votes for that ?" he asked Australian captain Michael Clarke on Twitter.
Yesterday former AFL player Jason Akermanis told Goodes to stop "playing the victim" and said those who label the booing of the dual Brownlow medallist as racist are kidding themselves.
"Any stupid journalists who said that they're racist is kidding themselves," the Brownlow Medallist and triple premiership player told Fox Sports on Thursday.
"I got booed and no one ever said it was racist. (Former league star) Benny Elias got booed when we were in Queensland because he was from NSW. Umpires get booed every week.
"Adam Goodes has got to stop looking like a sook and stop making it about him in this sense, and also he should stop trying to play the victim."
