Lote Tuqiri or Timana Tahu

[Ron Jeremy]

easy question - Tahu, better player, better role model everything.

Lote, meh always thought he was overrated anyway.

 

[Phillips]

Tahu... he's never been outplayed by John Morris.

 

[meltiger]

I'm excited about the idea of Lote coming to the Tigers, but those referencing back to 2007 arte right --- Timana is only going to make Parramatta better next year.

 

[caylo]

I dont like the Idea of Tuqiri at fullback, i think he will make a great cente and even thou Tahu and Tuqiri are 30 they both are still extreamly quick and powerful players who will add to any team. I expect both Tuqiri and Tahu to play for QLD and NSW again and probably play for Australia (both on the wing with Hodges and GI in the centres).
IMO if the Tigers are able to secure Lima and Cayless signatures, IMO they will make the top 4 next year and challange for the premiership. They will have a good backline (tuiaki, Tuqiri and Moltz), a good pack (Lima, Galloway, Ellis, Highinston and Payton) plus good halves/hooker (Benji and Farah).

No one?

Tahu was awesome for us back in 07. Made Inu look like a champion too. Tequiri - hope he goes ok for Tigers fans.

Mate ud have Dugan, Croker and Monaghan in your team anyday.
I would like to have both of them.

Tahu in a heart beat,Lote thinks he is some kind of mega star the way he has drawn out his last 2 contracts,Tahu just done his quitely,and he is a better player.
Parra have done well there.

Tuqiri was easily the better league player. Its hard to say whether he will still have all of that ability if he were to come back to the NRL, but even if he only has 80% of it, I'd probably still choose him.

 

[typicalfan]

Tahu won't have lost his league fitness as much as Tuqiri would have.

Tahu would be a chance of playing for Australia again while Tuqiri I doubt would be a chance.

 

[Billythekid]

Tahu in a second.

 

[Eels Dude]

Tahu. Lote is too much of a show pony. At least Tahu was at the peak of his powers when he left and is a lot more creative. I don't know know about Lote's return. Obviously he's a great athlete and will still have his strengths. I think he lacks that x factor though. And his size for a winger or fullback is not suited to the game the way it's played today.

 

[TimmyB]

To be honest It's all academic at this stage. No real certainty Tuqiri will return anyway.

 

[Meth]

I'm watch the Union. At one point, Tuqiri was a damaging winger. Over the last few seasons, he has been a nuffy. If he came back to League, I doubt he'd be a shadow of his former self.

I'd take Tahu

Lote Tuqiri
Worth an extra 3k-4k in crowds per week.

He's boring and slow. Offers nothing but a cool haircut

:?

Tuiaki, Vatuvei and Grothe all seem to do ok for themselves.

And none of them are payed 500k a year. Go figure.

 

[mozza91]

Tahu by a mile was better before and is better now.

 

[gallagher]

And none of them are payed 500k a year. Go figure.

And neither will Tuqiri. Saying he wont make it becasue of his size is nuts.Falou,Inglis and hayne are all up around his size and handle it.
