Lote Tuqiri thread

[MacDougall]

I dunno man. Tuqiri on the back of our backline could negate any need we have for further forward stocks. Lima would be great too though.

I'd say we don't NEED him but damn it'd be good to have him.

Fellas…

Do we really need Lote Tuqiri?

Honestly we have an abundance of good young talent coming through on the wings and at fullback - in my opinion, there is no one better for the job than Jake Mullaney. Why put back his growth into the role, for an older player, whose heart is probably not going to be in it that much, because his wallet isnt lined.

This Tuqiri thing has been dragging on for too long now.

We need to continue to look at forwards, step the offer up for Lima, and forget about Laurie.

Imagine Farah, Marshall, Moltzen, Mullaney, Taumata - all coming at you off the back of Galloway, Cayless, Lima, Ellis and Heighington.
I have been saying this all along,while Tuqiri would be good(on the wing),we would be better served with Lima,plus this signing circus is giving me the you know whats.

That makes me froth at the mouth.. Its the forward - does anyone agree?

 

[Ausmunin]

I see him brining massive interest to the Tigers. As well as sponsers if he makes a successful comeback.

 

[simonthetiger]

Of course we want him,big fast dual international that will help us win games,bring in fans and sponsors.

Its a dead set no brainer…....yes,yes,yes yes yessssssssss.

I totally agree with you Simon, anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't have a full grasp of how NRL clubs operate.

 

[MAFIA]

To be honest i am just over the whole lote thing if he has signed a contract and the nrl have approved it like it has been suggested on this forum why is our club playing these silly games, maybe they want to announce the 2(supposed)singings in Lima and Lote along with the retention of Proton continuing as sponser for the next 3 years after Noycey tried to cut our grass this week put please just announce what we have and get on with all the other stuff my tip is lote might have signed with us and jap rugby as a fall back if the nrl are not satisfied with his explanation as to why he was sacked by the wobbleies…... all right if you are a drug cheat but you CANNOT have a lady friend in your room

Cheap shot mate..

If we dont sign Lote, but we still win a premiership, i think that will generate alot of interest?

It would be great to see him in the team, but for gods sake, stop screwing everyone around and decide.

Do you really think his heart is going to be in it?

That is my point to,he either loves his name in the news or he is just after cash with no real loyalty to any code.Sure he would be good,but do we have to hang around like little school girls on every move he makes,hoping he will like us more than someone else.

so u know what is going on behind doors..

stop thinking u know how the deal is being worked out… dont forget this is their JOB and income.. just because u are a fan and want an answer, he is not going to make the decision to appease the likes of you and others.... let me make his own mind up in his time..

the only reason people think its dragging out is cause THIS FORUM builds the hype up... Nothing against Ando but he was prob better off keeping his mouth zipped since he spoke up (and i bet he regrets it) and people are starting to get anty cause there is no word on it....

if it happens it happens.. if it doesnt............ it doesnt...

Thank you.

A premiership and string of good performances will get the fans and sponsors excited.

Tuqiri would too, but i wouldn't be too perturbed as a tigers fan if he didnt sign.

Dude what do you think this forum is for?

 

[tigersnumberone]

And besides that T-REXX - whilst he taking so long to make his mind up, we do lose opportunities with other potential signings, so there are ramifications of the time he is taking.

Dont get all narky cause i am voicing my opinion, share yours and relax mate.

Exactly we have Fitzy as a back up just relax!! :slight_smile:

 

[Muffstar]

Hope the players fire up next year as much as we are on the Forum during the off season :slight_smile:

All okay now. I guess that I and T's remark was his way of letting the "cat" out of the bag.
