Lote tuqiri

[roughyedspud]

he seems to have turned his back on fiji & the RLWC by signing a 3 month contract with irish union club leinster......



tit

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

When's his contract start though?

 

[roughyedspud]

he's on his way to ireland as we speak

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Let the high profile withdrawals begin!

 

[Packy]

Would they have even chosen him? He's been a mixture of dogshit and injured for 2 seasons.

 

[Springs]

They'd be better off having Sisa Waqa and Marika Koroibete on the wings, and that's if Uate isn't allowed to play.

 

[Evil Homer]

One less nation-swapper is fine by me.

 

[Bulldog Force]

lol there are plenty of better Fijian wingers available.

 

[deluded pom?]

Damn! If he'd signed for Leinster a couple of years ago he'd be eligible for Ireland now.

 

[Bati 2013]

Good luck to him in Ireland . Wish him the best.
However , the Fiji Batis don't need him . There's
enough wingers around in Sisa Waqa , Marika Koroibete
Semi Radradra & Akuila Uate.
With Utilities like Jarrod Haynes, Kevin Naiqama ,
Ben Barba & Taqele Naviyaro , Fiji has adequate
coverage .
Their only concern is Jacob Loko and whether
his leg will be healed in time for World Cup .

Ben Barba is not Fijian.Doesn't mean they won't have a decent side.I was speaking with Wise Kativerata and he seems quietly confident that they can push England also he says John Sutton will play as he owes Wise a favour for the months he slept on his couch rent free during his Souths days.

 

[RHCP]

I think Lote realised it wouldn't be worth hanging around for, he wouldn't get picked.

Well that's a good enough reason to represent a countries national team.

Lote played for Fiji first. So he would only be going back to his authentic national team.

 

[Boston13s]

He was awesome in RLWC2000 when Fiji played the Kangaroos at Gateshead. He scored a 90m try from full back! My future teammate at Gateshead Tabua Cakacaka scored their other try

Hey don't shoot the messager. I'm just repeating what I was told

Sorry not having a go at you, just the players reason for representing a nation.

 

[Hindyscrack]

Although there are better wingers, Lote would have been a drawcard and a Big-Name for the tournament. Sometone that the non traditional League Media would have recognised and been drawn to, even if he was a squad player.

A big loss of experience for Fiji.
