Im sure he will be fine, given a bit of time. I mean he was class. He would of lost a yard or two, but he is a big hombre and still a pretty good athlete. Has not scored many tries lately in Union, although we all know that is a joke of a game where the tactics are pretty much 1. kick it away 2. kick for goal 3. make 0.3m surges with forwards in the ruck. Easy money but hard to gauge if Lote has lost it or not.
If old man dell can have a decent season at 35, Lote should be able to kill it. I suspect the Tigers will be big crowd pullers once again, nowits time for the players to back it up. We could easily make the Top 4 in 2010 if we play to our ability and the great Shines doesn't f!ck things up.
If we don't make the 8 of a 16 team competition with the roster we have it is an utter crime and Sheens should be thrown in jail and the key thrown away forever.
Marshall, Farah, Tuqiri, Tuiaki, Ellis, Lawrence, Galloway, Heighington and Molzten in particular are all players that would walk into most clubs in the NRL. Sure, we have a few average players like Ryan, Fitzhenry, Gibbs etc. but generally the rest of our squad is filled with very capable, experienced players (Payten, Fulton, Cayless) and some decent/very good younger players (Taumata, Ayshford, Dwyer, Mataka).
There are simply no excuses anymore, NONE whatsoever.
