What will happen if Lote doesn't become a Tiger in 2010 ?

Good question…......Moltzen to fullback i guess.........and a gazzillion the Club is useless posts.......

:laughing: True enough. There are plenty of options including Blake Lazarus. We'll be fine either way.

you wouldnt get an apology from me even if i was wrong, i know 98% of people on here were grateful for my info just you and a couple others who have a problem for some reason, and although my source was pissed that i leaked the info, i had already done it and it couldnt be taken it back, he just asked in future that i dont publicise any other signings or inside info.

anyway ill let people know via PM's from now on and you and other haters can wait weeks after for the papers to "break" a story.

as i said,i hope you understand in time.
obviously now is not that time going by your response.
sorry for not being grateful like the other 98%.
but only 2% is all that is needed to get you fired up,now that's funny.
but i seriously don't give a crap if we announce it today or next year.
now if i was laying cold hard cash on his signing,and your info would allow me to turn it into more,then i would love you and give you all the hugz and kisses you want.
but as i said i don't give a crap.
seriously,what do i gain by knowing today or a month later.
i'm still going to be a wests tigers supporter,i'm still going to be up at 4am watching a team that has made the semis only once.
trust me i'll be fine.

now i understand the majority of fans want the info yesterday,and i am not going to deny people that.
if that is what is important to people that is fine with me.

what you fail to see is that this club has shown nothing but leaks.from the crap with the ceo during the season and the blah blah blah that is still being leaked.
does this seem like a professional way to do business.
i sign confidentiality papers every day .it is pretty easy to understand and adhere to.
if you want to be associated with big companies,for god sake act like one that is worth doing business with.
you see,i'm a wests tiger and i want negotiations to run smooth,i want any problems dealt with and fixed,not broadcast to everyone else .

this signing is not your standard run of the mill contract negotiation.there is a process that must be followed.i don't believe leaks that show the process may not be the one that needed to be portrayed as smart.
98% of you obviously do.

um,i don't see a reply from you in my inbox.
were you rude and didn't reply
seriously where are those manners your mother taught you.

cool,WE LANDED ON THE MOON!!

Out of the 1196 pages on this topic, this is by far the most sensible post. I totally agree with every word you posted Bon, great post mate! :smiley:
 
hmmm, I see Mr Anderson is not replying to the age old taunt of 'liar liar pants on fire'.
How immature of him :wink:

We definitely have a lot of depth in the outside backs next season. Very interested to see Lazarus after a few months getting back into the swing of things. The 3 T's are probably the best all things going to plan but if they don;t we'll still be pretty set there :slight_smile:

I for one have huge doubt about Tupou. He's big but it's been a long time since he's played NRL.
 
just got home from work and thought i'd catch up to see if there is any further news on the Loti saga, my god you boys have been busy this arvo.
 
This thread is going to go from 1200+ posts down to 1100 odd very soon so get in early :slight_smile:

I've got to say though I agree with sirro. Posting PM's, even de-identified ones isn;t quite right.
Not sure if one of them is mine (the sentiment certainly fits) but in my opinion they shouldn;t be posted.

edit - & with your last post Anderson I'd suggest self editing. It's not worth it, I for one would hate to see you banned.

I think a few people need to pull back. I think that particular post has been deleted and probably the one that references it above will as well. The primary school taunts are bad enough without the implied racism.
 
Posting PMs on the forum isn't on.

I have just cleaned up apart of this thread and don't want to go anyfurther into it.

Stay on topic of Lote Tuqiri instead of the keyboard hero rubbish that has been posted the last few pages.
 
some people seem very ungrateful in this thread, i remember on the old forum people would beg for info but it wouldnt get posted unless you were on the "in team".

we have a member who seems to have close ties with a couple of people high in WT who is willing to provide us with information that some of us may not get depending on where you live. and as far as i can tell he has been correct in everything hes posted yet has been ridiculed by the same 2-3 posters on here regulary.
\

i for one am appreciative of the info he has provided and hope he continues to do so in the future, ive been lurking on this new forum for around a month and have been hesitant to sign up because i knew what the old forum was like, but after reading all this today i had to sign up and say my piece because i think the attacks on this poster have been uncalled for when all hes done is give what the majority of forum members what they have wanted, which is regular updates on signing news and so on, id understand if he was constantly wrong but he was spot on with cayless and has been spot on with tuquiri so i think you all should show respect to someone who is only trying to pass on the good word and not be a trouble maker.

Once again numerous posts have had to be deleted unfortunately, I lost count a long time ago. Is it too hard for people to discuss the possible/probable signing of Lote Tuqiri without having a go at one another??? :brick:

I thought the majority of members here support the Tigers and are looking forward to 2010 kicking off…Throwing insults at one another isn't going to make Lote sign any quicker and it's only going to result in action being taken against members if they cannot play nice. This thread has been closed and re-opened once already, please don't continue to throw insults at one another or it will close again if need be.

I know it's the off-season but showing a bit of maturity isn't too much to ask is it?

To be perfectly honest I have enjoyed the little back and forths between Cnx/Southern and Ink/Anderson however they did get a bit personal so I agree with the mods.

Back to the case in point, are we that desperate to get a big name that we are willing to put up with anything this bloke says as long as we get him on the field sometime this year?

Will he only sign 1 year at a time so that he can bugger off each summer for some easy coin?

Is he even that good anymore? I've seen some of his recent super 14 and Wallaby performances and they really weren't that flash.

Will he intergrate and be a proper part of this team/club ala Sailor? Personally I think Wendall has been awesome for the Dragons - he mentions them at every opportunity…Is Lote that type of character?

What do we do with all the outside backs that we keep stockpiling?

If he does get injured, do we still have a shot at a top quality prop? something that IMO we should have gone after in his stead.

These are some of the questions that I would like to see answered by the club or the bloke himself and not whether Anderson is being helpful or just showboating....

I agree 100%
 
^^Agreed with the above.

Thanks Anderson!

2010 can't come soon enough. Exciting year for our favorite club!
 
I guess we just wait now to see which rah rah club Lote joins…good things come to those who wait.
I wonder if his new club will have a forum?
Has he decided on a club yet?
Hopefully he still wants to play with us afterwards....but if not I wont be too bothered.

Hadnt realised me and CNX had a thing. Thats how oblivious I am. I just cant stand illogical arguments, contradictions and inconsistencies. Doesnt matter who says it. I am also not a fan of the geneal pessimism pervading this forum - probably why i react by supporting the club.

I am sure CNX is a top bloke even if he did call me a potato farmer :slight_smile:. If Tuqiri can generate the interest he has on here with the general public next year it is going to be an interesting season. Carn the tiges.
 
Ha ha this thread has gone crazy. A couple random thoughts on all of this:

* I dont really think that inside info being shared by Anderson is that big a deal. Do you really think that the media, club and general public believe everything someone over the internet has posted. I quite enjoyed being privvy to something I'm not supposed to be allowed to know yet. If you don't want to hear things like this, why are you on this forum???, stick to the papers and TV.
* Enough of the personal slanging matches between each other. We are all on the same team, so what if you don't see eye to eye with other posters, debate it rationally without the personal attacks. Lets just get along civilisely.
* Everyone on here wants to read about Lote, the possible signing of Lote, where is Lote gonna fit in our team etc. No cloak and daggers, just Lote!!!

I for one think Lote would be good for our team's marketing and exposure. Performance wise, I would prefer that Lima comes aboard, but I would still welcome Lote into the Tigers backline either way. GO THE TIGERS 2010!!!!
