Lote Tuqiri says he wants a crack at both codes
Wayne Smith and Brent Read | July 17, 2008

WALLABIES winger Lote Tuqiri wants to be able to play rugby union and league in the same year and doesn't see why the idea proposed by St George Illawarra chief executive Peter Doust has come in for such criticism.

Doust's radical plan to allow Australian rugby league stars to play rugby in France during the summer and then NRL during the winter was widely dismissed as a desperate ploy to soften the blow of Mark Gasnier's decision to quit the NRL and sign a two-year deal worth up to $1million a season with Stade Francais.

Doust argued the NRL and French seasons did not significantly overlap and any player who figured in both would have no need to put in a pre-season.

I don't know about old Lote, still can't work out what all the fuss is about him. Didn't the Wallabies learn in the world cup that concentrating on fast ex league backs doesn't make much difference if your forward pack is getting hammered. Remember

Ouch I play in the backs.

Lote should just bugger off back to mungo rugby & leave us all in peace!!!
