Wow i wonder wtf happened

 

[_Johnsy]

yawnion thread nothing to do with nrl

 

[Twizzle]

a bit sudden

methinks he has been a naughty boy

 

[Raider_69]

Might have ramifications for League, one would assume he's on his way back... who's got the dough for him?

I cant think of many clubs, canberra will but there is absolutely buckleys chance of him coming. GC might be his new home.

The real question is why dont we let him rot in his bed?

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Cause we didn't do the same to big dell or rogers.... id love to see him back in league

 

[Dave The Maori]

France rugby union .

 

[Matt23]

The real question is why dont we let him rot in his bed?

Agreed, Lote :arrow: European/Japanese rugby

 

[Dogs Of War]

Notice they waited till the 1st July, 1 day after the NRL won't register contracts to do this. Just so he can't go back to Rugby League this year.

Wallabies back Lote Tuqiri has had his playing contract torn up by the Australian Rugby Union (ARU).
The ARU released a statement on Monday night saying it had made the decision to terminate Tuqiri's contract effective immediately but did not detail reasons for the decision.
The ARU says it will not make any further comment on the matter as it may be the subject of legal proceedings, but said it had treated the decision as a "standard employment matter".
One of Australia's highest-paid players, Tuqiri was contracted to the ARU until 2012.
Tuqiri, who played 99 NRL matches with the Brisbane Broncos until 2002, played 67 Tests for the Wallabies but has been on the outer of late under coach Robbie Deans.
He was not selected to play in any of the Wallabies' Tests against Italy and France this year.

but he would probably be playing union again in france .

 

[Garts]

Probably spat the dummy since he was not making the test side and acted out on the piss.

 

[Timbo]

Whoa.

I wonder what's happened?

Despite this, he'd still have a binding contract with the NSWRU so I doubt he's going anywhere.

 

[Dogs Of War]

but he would probably be playing union again in france .

Somehow I doubt that.

More likely Japan if he is to remain playing Union.

 

[aussies1st]

Wow wonder what happened. Never really fulfilled his potential in Union but I would take him at the Raiders.

 

[Matt23]

If he does want to return to the NRL, the NRL should make a special dispensation for him considering they sacked him a day after the NRL deadline expired, more then likely so he could'nt sign with an NRL club.
