Lote Tuqiri thread

[cnx_tigers]

If Simon is who he says he is (he PMd me, but I won't post it for privacy reasons) then he should know 100% what's going on.

I will be attending one of the early sponsors days (i don't sponsor the team, but my friend does…and he puts a lot of $$ into the team each year and basically goes to every function and knows 99.9% of people ever connected with Balmain...not Wests, just Balmain). So, I guess I'll be seeing Simon there and apologising if I am wrong and he is right. Let's see.

Ahhh Cnx, your problem now is a little clearer. I too have good connections at Balmain (at board level) and have been amazed at how often the info I hear/get turns out completely incorrect. If your contact is a sponsor of Balmain, with respect I dont hang much credibility on that.

Don't fall into the trap of assuming that the guys at Balmain (or Wests I guess) _really_ know anything about what is happening at WT. Other than funding I dont think that Balmain or Wests are kept in the loop re WT and I think that often we know as much as guys at Balmain/Wests.

Forget Lote…the Balmain Board.... the Wests Board.... Sponsers....friends of sponsors...cheergirls ......office staff hell even forget the ballboys....or anyone who's ever heard anything come out of the Wests Tigers......

The most the important thing out of all of this is....

Who is simonthetiger????????????????????????

woot woot......

 

[softlaw]

hahahahahahahaha
This is getting better & better!
Also cnx's mate is now a WT sponsor but before the merger was a Balmain lad through & through which is where the reference to knowing about all the Balmain skeletons but not Wests skeletons comes from.

[softlaw]

so is 'Elementary' his first name or his surname?

Ah if cnx's mate is a WT sponsor then my point is redundant and I take it back.

Geez, just gone back through this thread and Simon and co. were all saying Anderson Silva nailed it when he said it would be announced within 24 hours…................................2 months ago.

I've never read such a load of crap in my life.

There's reasons this thing has taken so long.

When membership is down and you can't use a marquee guy for image + when you can't use a guy for ticket sales + the said guy has been umming and arghing about the whole thing for ages, then you know it's not smooth sailing.

Logic 101 should tell you blokes that there's not a single reason legally this couldn't have been announced a month back.

Our membership drive is amongst the worst of all the sydney clubs. We are only 1000 odd up on the Roosters. No way in hell the club holds back this long on a positive anouncment when they are already desperate for sales.

And there's no way they'd be fobbing off legit sponsors who are asking "what's going on?". You don't tell long time club men and sponsors porkies to hide stuff like this.

If we get him, it will all be down to having a **very** patient CEO.

IMO we should have told him to go and jump a month ago. Anyone who's having second thoughts about wearing the Tigers jersey isn't needed.

That is and has been my opinion all along,Lote is not worth all this jumping through hoops,I am so over this whole affair,if he does come he better be something special.

So smart, so funny too, softlaw :laughing:

 

[softlaw]

neither really :slight_smile:
But thanks for adding to the post count!

What is? Lunch

I hope not or someone at the shop is reading my mind again

 

[Craegus]

Sadly Lote's relaxing day at the shops turned into a horrific day, turned night, turned morning at the shops as he was unable to get through the crowd to the exit.

Exhausted and hungry, Lote stumbled to the food court to have some food to replenish his energy so he could fight his way out of this hell and go home.

Unfortunately like any place that has a food court, it was even worse than the stores.

Would this hell ever end for Lote?


 

[Spartan117]

Mate calm down abit, this place is for every-one to have there say there is no need to criticise people on what they have heard. I have found this thread enjoyable over the long boring offseason always some-thing to read keep up the good posts guys.

Agree with this one

Whats the old adage,

Those who dont know, talk
Those who do know, dont talk

Lote will be anounced Next week.
