Lote Tuqiri thread

90% of Lote's money is news LTD money.
He was paid by News as a Bronco. He was sponsored to News as a Wallaby.
He writes articles for them (via the same journos who are writing these stories).
Weird if they can't even get his story right.
Or maybe they are right?
 
this appears to be dragging on like the Ben T'eo situation.
if he does join wests-tigers, then so be it.
if he does not, to be honest, I don't think that either stadioum at the home grounds will collapse.
the NRL does not revolve around him.
 
it seems to me as though the DT is having a shot each way, they said 3 weeks ago he would sign with WT in days and since he hasnt i think they are assuming that hes going to rugby because my mail is very different to what they are reporting.

Ive made a couple of calls today and to the best of WT knowledge lote was still on board for next season, whether he plays union in the off season is another story though.
 
just done a web search or both UK unions fans forums and came up with these

It says on there that Lote is looking for an NFL contract with the Wests Tigers….........not sure why DT would take any info from that mob.
 
i dunno, but if its a strong lead surley there would be something on their forums about it, i found nothing on london irish's official site or fan forum, and from reading the posts on the tigers forum they are of the belief that they cant afford him.

I cant get any info reguarding lote and his rugby plans for the off season, but nothing has changed as far as lote playing for the Wests Tigers this year is what ive been told, he will be wearing a WT jersey next year

I HOPE SO
 
If this were some hack I'd be over it. But it is Lote Freakin Tuqiri. I'll wait till the eve of rd 1 for a bloke of that talent to make a decision.

Thank god the "faction" that wanted Benj gone aren't having a say in these negotiations. He'd have gone to europe months ago if that were the case.
 
Benji was never going anywhere…...

I'm sure there where a lot that questioned Marshall given his history.......It's old news Sheens didn't say Who the media jumped to that conclusion.....Storm in a teacup.........

Board members have 0 say on recruitment..they can have their opinions..but at the end of the day it's not their responsibility.......that's for the CEO and the Coach.......

but dont let that stop you
 
With Sheens away for the four nations, i wouldn't expect the announced signing until he gets back. The club will want Sheensy sitting next to Lote, with Benji and Farah on either side when they eventually announce it i'd imagne…

Everyone.. relax and be cool haha
 
if we do end up loosen out on lote cause he did do the exact same to souths. Is there a chance the tigers could move to pick up the unwanted mitchell pearce from the roosters for half and play moltz at fullback. im hearing roosters r willing to pay up to 150,000 of his contract if he is taken off there books next yr.
 
I dont think pearce wants to play at the tigers cause he doesnt want to be compared to his dad,i can tell him now ive seen both play and theres no comparison…
 
Somehow my gut feeling this time is the Telegraph have got it right….. I said weeks ago that this bloke is just prostituting himself around as he did to Souths a few years ago....personally Im over this bloke if he really wanted to stay locally a deal would have been completed long ago...as I said Ill go with the tele ....others I feel are just having a stab in the dark

yeh, throw in the queen and prime minister for good measure to be seated in betwen tuqiri and sheens. Go the whole hog!!!!! :laughing:
 
LOL Tuqiri him self probably doesnt know what he is doing yet. All fun and game till some-one gets hurt, i think its his manager as well trying to bump both his and lottes pay up next year. Dont get me wrong he has got to do the right thing for his family as well but there is clearly a non drawn out way he could have gone about things. All the best to him thow, with us or not.. Would just be great if we could no one way or the other, instead of just getting the to be continued story dragging on and on.
 
Not musch of a story. If it was big news the tele would save it for Sunday. They now about as much as the rest of us. We will find out soon enough I suppose.
Does anyone remember when Lote first signed with union and he said at the press conference that he wasn't worried as he had only signed for one year, only to be told by his manager that he had signed for two years. I hope he pays more attention to what he is signing these days. I think we will get him. He would have gone elsewhere by now.

You disagree?

You don't think the coach, captain and a team leader should be there in the press conference?
 
No idea what the hold up is, this should of been announced as early as last Wednesday. Maybe Sheens wants to be here for it ?
