Lote's last game for us on Saturday?

[Nic]

Thanks Lotte you were very much needed and a breath of fresh air, hopefully you have been able to pass on some of your experience to others in the squad.

I think you showed great class and good form, the side would have been poorer without you.

Tigers have had there money's worth you hardly missed a game!

Best of luck down under.

Thanks.

[AidanMcDowell]

Thanks Lote

It's been exciting watching you. I think all the other GP sides will be breathing a sigh of relief that you're leaving. You've proved a lot of doubters wrong and we can only imagine what you could have done on a warm sunny day at Twickenham in May!

Our Tigers' loss is another Tigers' gain.

[Big Dai]

.....Shame you're going mate! Just do us a favour and stick a couple of tries on the board to say fairwell.

All the best back down under!

[Tigerbeat]

Keep your messages for Lote coming.

They will all be copied and printed on Friday morning, ready to give to him before the match on Saturday.

[doogie]

Totally gutted you're going mate.

Only been a Tiger for 4 months but you have shown pride and passion every time you have pulled on the scarlet, green and white and that is all we ask (actually we demand it!).

You will be missed Lote. Good luck for the future!

Thanks for some great moments, we've been lucky to have seen such a world class player in a Leicester shirt this season.
It's a shame you won't be able to stick around to score the winning try on May 29th, but you can make up for it by making sure you've scored a hatrick before you leave!

All the best for the future.

A top class Tiger Tuqiri,
Was a pleasure to watch him play near me,
Now he's off back down under,
Oh 'eck what a blunder,
Leicester's the place Lote...can you hear me???


TAXI.................

Seriously, it's been a pleasure to watch LT at LTs, he's proven to be a hard worker, always looking for the ball during a game, going after it when it doesn't come to him, talented player who will be missed by all at the club.

Thank you Lote for the moments of brilliance, for silencing the doubting minority, and even for the odd moment of comedy (take the ball with you mate!!). This Tiger will roar you on in years to come. Best wishes for you and your family back in Oz.

[Suz]

Tigers loss will be Tigers gain

Good luck back in Oz - here hoping to some tries on Saturday before he goes

[voice of the crumbie]

Is it too early to cast my vote for overseas player of the season?

Sheer class, thoroughly professional, will miss you in Tigers' colours.

Good luck down under.

[Kit]

You've been a pleasure to watch and support this season, and I'm proud that you were a Leicester Tiger for any length of time.

Good luck to you and your family for the move.

[Smurphswillgetya]

Lote in just a short space of time you have shown why you were and still are a world class player. ARU lose was our gain. Thanks for all you have done for the Tigers it has been a pleasure watching you.

Good luck for the future to you and your family. You will always be welcome in Leicester.

[Tigerbeat]

The messages of support and thanks are growing. Just a reminder that all messages need to be posted by 10pm on Thursday night so that I can get them copied and printed up to give to Lote before the game on Saturday.

Thanks

There are some nice comments from Lote in the Mercury
http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/l ... ticle.html

In particular, Ben Youngs will be the England No9 at the RWC, praise for Cole, Twelvetrees and Mefin Davis who Lote thought was part of the coaching staff when he arrived
