If he plays on the wing it's a massive overpayment.
Sheens has always been one to copy good ideas in strange ways. For instance, putting Moltzen at full-back to try and create another Hodgo (ball playing, small, fast man)...or manufactur props out of second rowers!!!
I think Sheens is now trying to manufacture two things. Firstly, a Jarryd Hayne...not the trick shot chips over the top, but rather the energy conserved big, fast man who can inject into a tired opp defence and punish them with regular line breaks and it damn hard to tackle. Secondly, WT are wanting their own "Big Dell". Although Lote doesn't have quite the mouth (or enormous posterior) of Sailor, he's still got plenty of media value.
But, if this means that Motlzen gets to be starting Half Back as Lote goes to the back, then that's a win for all! Well, provided Lote can adapt to watching the whole field, and not just half.
On this...
i can tell everyone categorically that i havn't signed anything with the Wests Tigers! Once again, the media has run off again speculating!
...like the rules state, he can't sign anything until after he finishes with Union. That's the same rule that stopped Benji from playing Jap Rugby in the off-season. He may just be reinforcing that. Or, I guess it could be more media crap. Guess we wait and see.
