God boy gone
Rugby League Weekly has broken the story that the warriors have unceremoniously dumped 2nd rower Ali (praise the lord) Lauititi. Apparently the Kiwi training camp who are preparing for the ANZAC test match are simply "stunned."
Whats worse is that the Warriors say he no longer posseses the will to play or win. Thats just what a prospective team would want to hear. Commentators on Radio Sport say that there must be serious management problems if they can't get along with Jones and Lauititi as they are possibly the two most genuine down-to-earth unassuming blokes in the game at present.
This is the Dally M award winner in 2002, we're talking about here. One source wonders if Lauititi - whose name has been pronounced differently lately going from being Laueteetee to being called Laueettee (go figure) - has been given the chop because Stacey Jones is pissed off with him and he isn't doing his fair share of the work and hence Stacey's poor performances, but I doubt it.
The poor prick who is only 24 went through an operation on an arm cyst last year and I thought has put it several reasonable performances this year although he is not in the same league as he was in 2002. Logan Swan's gone, Lauititi's gone and it looks like Stacey's future may be in doubt it could be a long road before the Warriors are again the powerhouse they were in 2002/03.
League circles are also shocked that Nth Queensland Cowboy's and nzer Paul Rauhihi has been left out of the ANZAC squad. They say he is 'da bomb' and we are seriously weakened by his absence.
