Lote Tuqiri thread

[ron_burgandy]

it may have been officially announced this week, but it was a done deal ages ago, the only problem was with 3rd party agreements being cleared by shcubert.

i stated this months ago hey and low and behold here comes the story of x-blades being a factor in the delay as they are sponsors of WT aswell.

they can say what they want but lote agreed to terms well before christmas as long as the nrl didnt kybosh the 3rd party deals put together he was never in doubt

Wrong…

but it's done now can we move on......

 

[Danos]

"Done deal" means – pen to paper, NRL approved, official club announcement. That only happened yesterday. But like Geo said, lets move on.

Quote from Napton Tiger in the Leicester Tigers forum _"Having watched Tuqiri in "action" in every home and away match so far I won't be sorry to see him leave. His form suggested enormous benefit to Tigers but as far as I can see it has failed to materialise. This too has been the general reaction of both Tigers and opposition supporters around me at all the games."_

Quote from tig1 "Tiquiri - Maybe its me, but is he incredibly slow ???

Was at the match last night. Half way through 1st half cant recall which clermont player chipped through, but probably 30 -40 yards out and Tuqiri was virtually outstripped by the clermont 2nd row (number 4) who crashed into the boardings. Ok, we have Tom Croft who can play 4 but…..

Same thing happened again towards the end of the 1st half. I think it was their scrum half ? but again he toook about 5 yards out of tuiqiri in same situation. I think Hamilton got across to cover.

Both situations, i was amazed how slow he was. Anybody else see that ?"

Surely you dont need people that you dont know to tell you about Tiquiri. I can find find posts from people I dont know that will convince you Fitzhenry is all class.

Read the fans Forum or do a search on it on 'Lote'. There is not much favourable opinion on Lotto at all.

. . . . and dont call me Shirley.

A thread on that forum about Tiquiri leaving has only positive posts about his stint there.

 

[southerntiger]

Dont worry Gallagher, despite all his "contacts" Bug amazes us with how often he is wrong. Have to admire that he keeps coming back for more though.

 

[Kul]

yawn…..

Wrong…

but it's done now can we move on......

im not wrong, and ive told you my contacts in PM's to you before, the thing that should stand to everyone and its blindingly obvious, is that not once did sheens deny all these talks with tuquiri, he even said it on summertime, sheens doesnt make those kind of statements unless he knows its done.

humphreys wouldnt make a 20 hour plane trip on a maybe from lote, its all smoke and mirrors by the the brains trust, this deal was done along time before it was announced, deal with it.

 

[Geo]

:laughing: :laughing: OK I'll deal with it….....you where right all along.......feel better now......

Please can we Now move on........

 

[Buckets_of_blood]

Seems like Ron is the one that need to deal with it.

Its OK mate, we believe you. :laughing:

 

[Danos]

A few different media outlets have mentioned WT are negotiating with Leicester to get an earlier release for Lote.

 

[towntiger]

Forget reading what bloody newspapers say, they are3 only guessing as muc h as most on here. I don't know why everyone takes the papers as gospel.

Regarding Lote's return date, i guarantee you tonight's match between the Northhampton Saints and Leicester Tigers will have the ultimate say in this. All i will say is we should be cheering for the SAINTS if we want to see Lote in Rd 1\. It is on at 2am our time Sunday morning. This gam,e will be the sole dictator of when Lote comes back to oz.

True Bug …......in the Guinness Championship,,which ends in May.......

Lortay was a replacement for injuries and players away at the six nations that ends in March....

Once those players come back Lote is free to go ......is the way I understand it...
