Lote Sacked!

In breaking news just last night, one of Australia's most expensive Rugby players has had his contract torn up. Reasons are yet to be disclosed, however, a breach of conduct is being discussed as a possible explanation.

Lote "ice thrower" Tuqiri only last year was the subject of a bidding war between the ARU and Souths Sydney. On that occasion NRL was unable to match the money which was put in front of Lote. On this occasion however, there will be no million dollar contract waved in his face. It is of this bloggers opinion that following a $300- $400k pay cut he will join the Gold Coast Titans for the 2010 NRL season. The NRL are interested, Gold Coast are interested!

What ramifications will this have for DT? Will he be a bargain buy back? I am not sure what his price will be and how the experts at the Courier Mail may value him but HE WILL score well! You would have to think that he could fit straight into the "massive" hole at full back which will be created due to the retirement of Preston Campbell.

There is no doubt that we will see Lote again, but the only question which remains now is where?
What are you thoughts? Do you think Lote will end up in the NRL next year or will he chase the dosh in Europe?

Have your say..
