@anderson silva said:just watched the fox sports piece about this and lote looked like he didnt know what to say "ahhh i havent signed with the tigers or anyone,ahhh ive been saying this for a while now" the only problem i have with this is its gonna make all involved look stupid when he does officially sign.
My thoughts is that gallop is in on this aswell and its all colluded between lote WT and gallop, lote and tigers deny gallop looks like hes remained firm on his word then at the end of the day WT get what they want and the NRL gives off the impression that they remain hard nosed about these types of situations
@Allan Towle said:There would deffinately be competition for spots should Tuqiri sign. Tupou, Tuqiri and Tuiaki for 2 wing spots initially if they are all fit. There is talk Tuiaki will start late and Tupou I don't think will start in FG after not playing for a while unless he has a strong pre-season. Beau Ryan will be in contention too though he may jag a centre spot with a possible Ayshford move to the back-row. Than there is Mitch Brown and Geoff Daniella who could jag spots and Moltzen will be in the back-line somewhere.

Think you might be getting a bit carried away there….....You know the facts.......
No conspiracy.....it boils down to one thing..........Lote wanting his final payday from Union or not.....If it wasn't in the equation they would have annouced it weeks ago and be pumping the Lortay express for all it's worth.......

If Tuqiri is there for the 2010 kick off he will be on the left wing. Tuiaki wont be staring the season.

WT are not paying him $400K. I will bet my life on it. Maybe its around $400K when you include the 3rd party payments.
@Tigertime said:this whole lote saga is doing my head in.
This thread has recieved huge interest over a player who has not played league in years, he is coming to the Tigers to retire so he ain t going to get any better or younger, if we can get him cheap great, but buggered if i know why there is so much hype,
bring on Lima i say
