Australian Rugby Union sacks Tuqiri
July 1, 2009 - 6:40PM
Lote Tuqiri's contract with the Australian Rugby Union has been terminated.
The ARU announced the shock development on Wednesday evening.
"The employment contract of Lote Tuqiri has been terminated effective today," a statement read.
"ARU has treated this issue as a standard employment matter.
"The ARU will not make any further comment on the matter as it may be the subject of legal proceedings."
One of Australia's highest paid rugby players, Tuqiri was contracted to the ARU until 2012.
The ARU had been conducting an investigation into a possible breach of the players' code of conduct, but the circumstances of Tuqiri's sacking were unclear.
That'll save the ARU a pretty penny.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
wooooooooo
I'd suggest we drink to it but TG is staying dry.
Maybe you can drink Lote's sweet sweet tears.

We can drink - TG can take notes and issue a statement to the press regarding the legal status of our supposition as to what he did and to whom - let there be no conjecture as to the true nature of the allegations lest the truth be clouded by the grog.

Is this another one of O'Neils cost cutting measures
61 years between Grand SlamsWas the wait worth it - Ya betta baby
Well - does that free up enough $$ to allow the ARU to complete negotiations with JOC and let him sign for WF ????

Will save the ARU heaps as his contract was to have most of the big money in 2011 and 2012.
no great loss
