Lote Tuqiri is the next Dr Phil

[Moffo]

What the hell does he know, commenting on the problems of RL at the moment? This is the same goose that didn't know how many years he had signed with the ARU for....yet he can occupy the back page of the biggest paper in Sydney...telling us about his thoughts on the events

What a crock. More gutter, crap journalism. Telegraph, you are as bad as the SMH. Go get f**ked

Cheers,
Moffo

What a crock. More gutter, crap journalism. Telegraph, you are as bad as the SMH. Go get f***ed

I wouldn't go that far. I've found the Telecrap's coverage of the scandal to be quite even-handed so far.

It's been more even handed than the SMH, but they've chased the carrot on a few occasions too

Get over this whole media thing. Ofcourse they are going to cover it! Of course they are going to sensationalise everything! Ofcourse they are gonna distort the facts and their coverage for their own purposes!

The issue isn't the media, the issue is the terrible discipline of the Bulldogs, and others in the RL fraternity. Whinge to them.

Here,here.I must admit at having a gigle at the vitriol aimed at the media.The media would not have printed a word if the Bulldogs had not put themselves in this position....its as simple as that.

End of story.

Tuqiri talks in code on contract

By PETER JENKINS

March 6, 2004

DUAL international Lote Tuqiri said last night he would delay any decision on his future until after the Super 12 series.


Speculation surrounding Tuqiri has intensified since Wallabies flanker Phil Waugh signed this week an extended deal to keep him in Australian rugby until the 2007 World Cup.

Tuqiri, 24, and off contract at the end of this year, has been elevated to the status of hottest property in the game and a major retention priority for the Australian Rugby Union and the NSW Waratahs, with a three-year deal on the table to stay in the 15-man game.


But the former Kangaroos star, who established himself as the Wallabies' leading winger at the World Cup four months ago, has yet to settle on a short-term career path that could involve a return to rugby league.


"I won't be coming to any sort of decision soon, certainly not before the Super 12 series is over," he said.


"All I am concentrating on at the moment is playing good footy with the Waratahs and improving further on my efforts at the World Cup."


One option for Tuqiri is to play the code-hopping caper twice more before the next World Cup.


It will not have escaped his management that Tuqiri could accept a one or two-year rugby league contract then be back in rugby union in time for the next tilt at the Webb Ellis trophy in France.


But NSW Rugby Union CEO John McKay believes salary-capped NRL clubs will struggle to match the monetary terms currently on offer to the one-time Brisbane Bronco. Tuqiri admits the World Cup was a unique experience and one difficult to rise from for a new season.


"I found it pretty tough coming back in the first couple of weeks after our break," he said.


"The World Cup was pretty draining, both mentally and physically. But the young blokes at NSW certainly picked up the spirits of the Wallaby guys when we did get into training.


"Not knowing your job is safe at the Waratahs these days really fuels the competitive spirit."

If I'm not a real Aussie because I couldn't care less if the Wallabies win or lose the so be it. I support Australian cricket, the boomers, the socceroos, etc so I'm not sure what that makes me.
On that logic I'm not really from Sydney because I don't go for the Swans, or not really a NSWelshman because I think the Tahs are are product, not a state team. True colours, my butt.
