| Ciu, Don't think Hickey is going to mess with the Halagahu/Beale combo in mid field. That would mean Mitchell I would hope. I'd reckon they'll keep Tahu at 13 and Turner on one wing. There's plenty of good young talen for the other spot. Iwouldnt mind seeing Lot's cousin who plays for Randwick get a start. He's a monster. Of course Lote ain't dead yet. He's got legal fight coming up and I don't know what the implications to his NSW contract are - If any. There is speculation that the Victorian police are involved and its been under investigation for a while. It's highly unlikely that O'Niel would just sever Lote without good reason. But then, he has been warned before so.... |

| ado...i read that O'Neill will front the media on this matter tomorrow right after they will announce the squad for the Tri Nations... what do you reckon for next year?Drew Mitchell on the wing for the Tahs and Beale at fullback?or maybe Turner at fullback...but who the heck will go on the wing?Tahu?i don't like it to be honest....i hope they will find a decent wing to fill the spot and give Mitchell the fullback position... |

| Yeah this is the last thing Australian rugby needs,don't know any details but hope Lote's not the scape goat | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Just hope he's not a scape goat for the others involved. Then again he could be going to France, League or who knows? God bless you Lote |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yeah, I'm not liking where this is heading already. Apart from Lote's own lawyers, Tony Dempsey from RUPA, a solicitor in his own right, will stir up hornets nest if the ARU show even the slightest impropriety in their decision. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| i just hope they had a serious reason for his sacking...not some b.s. cacamimi reason to cover up that they don't wanna pay his money anymore...i mean i read the guy already hired lawyers and will fight his sacking in courts...last thing rugby in Australia needed right before the real international season starts, a messy court battle and all the negative publicity...and all was going so smooth with the Wallabies in preparation for the Tri Nations...not only they were playing well...but the AB's were not having the best form ever at the moment and the Springboks will be probably blinded for months now by the discovery that their coach is God-like creature... i just hope the ARU will not regret this move...and the things will not get too messy before the Tri Nations. |

| I read something last week about him at the Casino and then did a bit of a search and came up with this The Australian newspaper reported Tuqiri, fellow winger Peter Hynes and Adam Ashley-Cooper -- preferred to young star James O'Connor at fullback this week -- entered Crown Casino at 1.15am last Wednesday. Reports also circulated of a post-test drinking binge involving a number of players. "We're currently conducting inquiries into potential breaches around team protocol and/or the code of conduct," an ARU spokesman said. If this was it, it sound like there were others involved. Perhaps he was a ring leader or there is more to it. Like they didn't want to foot the bill for a 700K player running around for Wests. The truth will come out and they're (as in ARU) already talking legal repurcussions - Maybe its a set up. Who knows. If it is, the ARU had want to be very very careful in what they're doing. Could be a legal minefield if other were involved and not punished the same way. Either way he's gone from Union and will no doubt end up on the wing for a league club. |

| I'm sure the Aru will keep it as Hush , Hush as possible so no grubs make anything of it. Maybe they've cancelled his contract due to him not meeting his KPI's which makes up his contract. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Just saw something on the news and they said "shock, lote's contract cancelled by the ARU" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| don't know...there hasn't been any talk round the clubs...so it must be hush hush | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Just read where he's suddenly been sacked by ARU. No reason given at this stage. Can someone shed light onto this? Was it something to do with an incident the ARU had been investigating recently, but not disclosing details? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
