Lote Tuqiri gone

For some reason the ARU has decided to terminate Lote Tuqiri's contract. They've done it effective immediately but won't say why.

Air Lote as we'll affectionately call him, was Australian Union's highest paid player and was contracted until 2012. What happened? Did they just figure out he used to play league or something? He shouldn't feel too bad cos International Dell has picked up and done pretty well over the last 12 months. Lote has been pretty useless recently so it's not unwarranted but the word on the street is it's player behaviour.

I remember when he played against the Roosters in his Debut season back in 2000 or thereabouts. He was so bad. He contested about 3 or 4 bombs and dropped them all. It's been a hell of a ride since then but now it seems it's all over. That said, if he heads back to League, I'm sure a club will pick him up. If not, he'll just go to French Rugby.
