Personally, I reckon he would be worth a punt.

Thoughts?

Hehe, I literally thought forum jump had returned for a second then & I'd been transported to the union board .

I never thought I'd see Tuquiri's name mentioned on the Dees board .

I'd rookie list him in a second!

I must admit I found this excerpt from the article fascinating...

Williams, a friend of Wallabies kicking coach Ben Perkins, mingled with the Australian contingent before and after last Saturday's final and spoke with Tuqiri,

See it's all Mark Williams fault! Speading that Choker culture & contaminating our Wallabies!

Personally I think the Wallabies need him most of all.

Publicity stunt.

Gets people to training and good media attention for Port, gives Lote 4 weeks of free AFL training. (to improve his foot skills, peripheral vision etc)

This is an absolute gee up.....Why the hell would Lote want to play AFL, the guy has the world at his feet in union, A GLOBAL GAME, why the hell would he throw that in for AFL? ROOKIE LISTED!!!!!!!!! Put down the crack pipe guys..

This story started in the HUN, the only paper in the world stupid enough to swallow it. It is probly only listed on rugby heaven for comic relief.

Did the world shrink or something?

Yes, we have shrunk the world to Vic, SA and WA .

ps. The guy couldn't even kick over a jam tin and at 24 I think would struggle to make the switch, no matter how good an athlete he is.
