Most are happy for sure, and it does sound like you are on the money. But this is the internet you could be anyone, saying anything you like, can't expect people to take you at your word. I mean….most people wouldn't expect for sa second that I am actually typing this from space in a hybrid space shuttle with a parrot on my shoulder living as an environmentally aware space pirate. I accept that, no need to take things personally :slight_smile:

I don't understand the need to wait until Tuqiri has finished his union stint (wherever that may be) before signing with us. Surely, as soon as he signs with the union team, he can then sign up for the NRL. It is like Scott Prince signing to play for the Titans starting in 2007 when he was still playing for us in 2006\. He has signed but won't transfer until the relevant date.

Well say we were to sign him for three years and he injures himslf while playing in union we are left paying that contract (unless a clause is built in).
I would say he has either given the Tigers a verbal agreement or has signed a letter of intent to join up after union stint.
Unfortunately I can't see the Tigers being in a position to announce anything in regards to Lote until his union commitments are up.
lets just hope at that stage the landscape hasn't changed.

Anderson i for 1 am glad to get your inside info as not much comes from anywhere else. and also lote will be a great signing by the club and with that brings sponsors and imo more tigers supporters. some people on here are never happy no matter what the club does. we have been crying out for some decent signings and at last 2010 looks like it will be a great year for the mighty tigers.

Whatever the outcome, the Wests Tigers will want to get as much publicity out of it as possible.
Its a big story, just for not just Wests Tigers fans but sports fans in general.
Its a very smart move to drag it on for as long as possible.

I am a pretty crappy lawyer but even I could easily draft the contract to account for such a forseeability. I am very confident that even if a contract is signed before he plays union and het gets injured we wont be left out of pocket.

STATEMENT ON LOTE TUQIRI
Thursday, 29 October 2009
>
Wests Tigers wishes to release a statement in relation to the ongoing media speculation regarding Lote Tuqiri.
>
Whilst the club understands the wide public interest in Lote Tuqiri’s playing future, recent media reports suggesting Lote has secured a deal with Wests Tigers are purely speculative.
>
“We absolutely refute the suggestion today that Wests Tigers have agreed to terms with Lote Tuqiri,’’ said Wests Tigers CEO Stephen Humphreys.
>
“As I have stated publicly before, we are in discussions with Lote Tuqiri.
>
“We do expect him to make his intentions clear about his playing future shortly and whilst we are hopeful of securing his services, I must re-iterate at this point in time, we have neither verbally agreed to terms nor signed any agreement.
>
“We have been consulting with the NRL and support their stance in not allowing players to have guest stints with rival codes. We understand the rules and will comply with them at all times.
>
“Should Lote decide to pursue a path other than the NRL, he would do so without any guarantee of a future position at Wests Tigers.”
