No' Tonight...I've Got A Lote On Mah Back...
March 9th 2007 06:18
There is a fine line between passion and shame.
(oh....sorry...if you're looking for S&M 'r' Us, that's a few blogs down....).
I really should have written this last Sunday or even Monday but I didn't.
So shoot me.
...my left profile is best, no fluoro lights.
Anywayyy.
I am shocked and appalled....what the hell I'll go the triple bill...and disgusted at Lote Tuqiri's behaviour during last weekend's match between the NSW Waratahs and the Western Force.
I'll let the good folk at www.sportal.com.au fill you in....
First of all, this kind of behaviour is not appropriate when done to an opponent.
You can punch them and ruck the skin off their back but ya cannae push guv.
It's just Norton. 'ight?
Secondly, using passion as an excuse....huh?
Hello?
Who's a murderer in the making then eh?
And okay, Norton-Knight is an idiot.
And not just because he left the Brumbies but he sooo cannot shine when the Light of Larkham is on....
He shouldn't have done what he did but he did and it's done.
Yes, the Tahs started out well but the Force, well you know...it's with them...they were on fiyah.
Norton-Knight should have played it safe and let his teammate Peter Hewat kick a guaranteed penalty goal to win the game but a little voice in his head, the Voice of Risk (and is he ruin' it or what???) said....play it once Sam....for old times sake....
You gotta take a chance.
How can you fault the lad for doing that?
I am positive his entire team would have liked to use him for tackling practise or perhaps as bait for vultures but...Rugby people know restraint.
Unlike Mr Thugby League who confuses passion with pushin'.
The Waratahs drew with The Force.
Lote Tuqiri lost it.

New South Wales Test winger Lote Tuqiri apologised to Sam Norton-Knight and his Waratahs team-mates after angrily pushing Norton-Knight at the completion of the 16-16 draw with the Western Force at Aussie Stadium.
Norton-Knight ignored the chance for NSW to win the match with a penalty goal after referee Paul Marks awarded the Waratahs a penalty 40 metres out from the Force line on the stroke of full-time.
With Hewat on his way over to take the shot for goal, Norton-Knight, a second half replacement for Morgan Turinui, grabbed the ball, took a tap penalty and raced ahead before chip kicking towards the Force goal-line.
But after Force winger Cameron Shepherd gathered the ball and hoofed it safely into touch to end the match, Tuqiri raced 20 metres towards Norton-Knight to unleash a verbal spray before pushing him in the back.
Once in the dressing-room, Tuqiri openly apologised to the team and to Norton-Knight saying his passion for winning had boiled over at the end of a frustrating match for the Waratahs.

These blatant plugs for Norm's Equal & Opposite Post?:
I thought references to other Blogs were banned? ...
As to your left profile sans Fleuros being your best? ... Are you telling us you have low-light, side-on shots of your eyebrows on file? *
As you're well aware (due to my AFL obsession), I'm not that familiar with how you pronounce a lot of Rugby players or refs names ...
I'll do my best, but if any of these are wrong? ... I'm sure you'll be able to correct my cross-code ignorance(as he smirks wickedly ... ) ... *
Is it Lot'a queeries? (in his family) or Lot'a Kiwis? ...
Poor Marks?
Naught for the Night? ...
He-What? ...
More-than Two Renee?
May the Force not be with you? ...
Come on Shep! Hurt!?
Worry Tarts? (oops ...
