Piss Lote off...spend the 400,000k on another forward.....

Did anyone see the article in the Sunday Telegraph re: Lote? Said something along the lines of that his signing would be announced this week and that his debut for the club was likely to be in Round 6 against the Dogs.

I can't believe we are still wasting our time and money on this hack.

 

[Magpies Forever]

I can't believe we are still wasting our time and money on this hack.

Driving into work today listening to ABC Radio National the sports reporter said Lote T 'hinted last night' that he wanted to stay on at Leicester playing RU.

Common WT pull out of any further negotiations with this money chasing ego driven hack. Keep your powder dry for any other opportunistic players signings that may pop up. Lote just aint worth entertaining and stroking the ego anymore.

TIGER TUQIRI FEELS RIGHT AT HOME

By Neil Squires


LOTE TUQIRI has signalled his desire to abort a planned return to Australian rugby league and sign a new contract with Leicester.

Wallaby wing Tuqiri’s current deal was drawn up to expire in March, so that he could head back Down Under to join Wests Tigers for the start of the NRL season. But he has settled in so well with Leicester that he is now keen to stay.​

Tuqiri, 30, whose four-year-old son Samson has started school in England, said: “In the past I have only thought about my footy career but there comes a time when you have to think of family a lot more.​

“They are enjoying it over here. We are from Australia and our roots are there, but we have entrenched ourselves here and it’s not too bad being away from home. ​

“I have a bit more anonymity and being out of the limelight has opened my eyes to a different world. I have never spent this much time with the family and I am enjoying it.”​

Leicester, who signed Tuqiri in November after his sacking by the ARU for off-field excesses, believe they have tamed him and want him to remain at Welford Road.​

Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill said: “I’d like Lote to stay. Everyone raised their eyebrows when we signed him, but he has settled in well. ”​

Tigers flanker Tom Croft has been ruled out for up to six weeks with the knee injury he suffered against Viadana last weekend. He will miss the Six Nations matches against Wales and Italy.​

Leicester wing Johne Murphy is the only English-based player in Ireland’s 44-man squad for the defence of the Six Nations title named yesterday.​

Saracens director of rugby Brendan Venter will find out this afternoon whether he will have to serve a touchline ban following his verbal attack on referee David Rose.​

[Perth Tiger]

Couldn't agree more.

With the money wewere going to pay him we could be big players again in the player market this year

 

[marshall stalin]

yes you can save this money up to sign WM

 

[DanOz]

I'd rather buy Luke Burt - at least he can kick goals.

 

[macnaz]

NO THANKS, burt is a spineless grub. As for Lote , who knows if he is just screwing with the media, but the time has come for the WT management to come clean with the facts and if the facts really are that Lote is unsure well call the friggin thin off. We have missed oppurtunities waiting for the idiot already and its time to start getting 2010 ready to roll and having this rubbish disrupting preparations is just unprofessional and stupid.

 

[macnaz]

The roosters board released willie and the storm board voted NO to willie and the Tiger board also stopped further talks with willie ... The word is that something BIG in the way of bagage surrounds him and clubs wont touch him with a barge pole . It is something offfield and not game perfomance based it seems.

 

[westie]

Too much pub gossip for you. The Storm had no money for Mason.

 

[TrigaTheTiger]

Lote saga......

I would assume that given we are going into the season without a recognised specialist fullback with first grade experience on our roster and given that from day one, the Tigers have said Lote would play fullback that we are going to get him.

Media posturing is possible and if he hasnt signed a contract, so is the prospect that he does simply change his mind.

Given that our recruitment has been better than some time this year (not great, but better than it has been), I am still firmly of the opinion we will get Lote.

If we dont and we go into this year without a recognised fullback, Im going to be pissed.

Also making me pissed would be this:

1 Moltzen
6 Marshall
7 Lui / Tomato
9 Farah

I am of the humble opinion that if Marshall and Moltzen played in the halves all season last year we would have made the finals and a dent in the premiership.

We have to have the two Ms at 6 and 7 all season this year.

So why did weststigers stop talks ?.. Guess u will say folks , I doubt he'd be in any position at the club to call shots..... Anyway i admit its only hear say , but from media outlets and not pubs Ill be the first to bump this thread tho if something comes of it ok westie lol

 

[simmo1]

Tuqiri did kick goals at times for Brisbane and QLD.

 

[Wobbygong]

Come on guys it's Tom Shines you know he'll get Lote & Willie over the line...............NOT.

Get ready to be pissed. With Payten, Farah and Cayless all giving Robert Lui praise, get ready to see him in the #7 jersey. Which means Moltzen continuing to play out of position at fullback.

 

[TrigaTheTiger]

We see this ever pre-season Fordy -

Sheens gets players to talk his book for all this "secret" sh*t.

I may well be pissed, but the fact that senior players are talking this crap means nothing to me atm.
