Interesting news regarding Topuo - at least it is conformed he is here next year.
I really like the thought of him and Tuiaki on the wings.
I think you will find Lote in the number one - Tim has stated he believes Moltzen will press for NSW halfback spot, that won't happen if he is wearing the 1 for us.
So -
1\. Tuqiri
2\. Tuiaki
3\. Lawrence
4\. Atshford
5\. Tupou
6\. Marshall
7\. Moltzen
Looks pretty darn good to me.
Also can you guys please quit it with the attacks on each other - geez it gets boring!

Leicester Tigers chasing former Wallaby Tuqiri

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leicester Tigers are said to be chasing Australian winger Lote Tuqiri as their injury counts continues to rise seemingly by the day.
Tuqiri was sacked by the Australian Rugby Union in July this year after he broke team rules.
He was said to be on a final warning from an incident in 2007 and many felt that the move by ARU was for financial reasons rather than rugby reasons.
Leicester Tigers have 12 players out of action and have reportedly held talks with the winger's representatives about a short-term contract as a solution for their injury head ache. .
The Tigers Board said last month that there was no money for new players but they are so desperate that they say that they will "find" the money to ease their injury woes.
Thirty year old Tuqiri has been linked with French clubs and a couple of Welsh clubs since his sacking.
A return to Rugby League seemed to be the most likely before news of the Tigers talks emerged.

Weeks after I posted my thing on Lima, Benny Elias (Just a few days ago) said he was 95% ours. So we will have to wait and see I guess.
Anything else that I have gotten wrong Silva ??
(Please dont hurt my feelings. I am delicate)
:sign:
Back on topic please kids

Tupou was signed weeks back, I guess like Fitzy & Fulton their announcements are timed…bunch a whole heap together, makes it look good.
As much as I love Benny Elias, I'd be wanting a more reliable source than him. Like Gai Waterhouse tipping her own horse, it's hard to separate the hyperbole from the reality.

If we get Lote, we can thank Benny Elias for it thats for sure.
You're possibly right TSTS. From what I read he's done a lot of leg work in organising 3rd party sponsors.
some Uk rugby club apparently going to offer him a 6 month contract, we might get him in the early rounds of NRL season after union stint?

Leicester Tigers linked with Lote Tuqiri and Ollie Smith
Leicester Tigers are staying tight-lipped over reports linking them with ex-Australia winger Lote Tuqiri and their former centre Ollie Smith.
Tigers, who have been ravaged by injuries, are said to be on the verge of agreeing a six-month deal with World Cup star Tuqiri, who was sacked by the Wallabies.
Reports say they are also talking to Montpelier about re-signing Smith, who has fallen out of favour at the French Top 14 club.
However, chief executive Peter Wheeler refused to be drawn on whether Tigers had lined up 30-year-old Tuqiri, who has been looking for a club since his Australian Rugby Union contract was terminated in the summer.
Wheeler said: "I can give you my stock answer about us always being interested in quality players.
"He is a world-class player, who is available, so there's going to be a lot of interest in him."
