I'd have thought most on here would be happy at the thought of Tautai being removed from the playing roster at Wigan.

I can't imagine many are too disappointed that he might not play for us much longer but thankfully it seems people have steered clear of displaying unbridled joy at the news of a drink drive conviction and a family potentially having their life and future plans turned upside down.

At least be honest enough to admit that any amount of disruption caused by the club being put up for sale will be worth it for you.

Let him enjoy it whilst it lasts, had it tough with us winning so many trophies over the last few years.

A spouse can certainly have a lot to deal with when their partner transgresses.

From a non emotional rugby point of view I’m quite pleased. Gets him off the books.

From a human point of view I’m disappointed another Wigan player has let the club down.

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

I’m making assumptions but I guess your house doesn’t require £600,000 of your own money each year to break even. And if IL openly lists the club for sale on bloody right move I would dread to think of the opportunists who come looking for a cheap deal.


If you bought a stately home then yes, and that’s what a sports club is like owning. Looks great, good to brag about, you really enjoy it but it’ll cost you.

Any potential buyer will no doubt know full well that they will be putting their own money in, it’s like buying a Ferrari and saying that it’s costs a lot of money to run. People who buy Ferrari’s don’t worry about running costs, neither will people who buy sports clubs.

Correct.

I do also have some sympathy for his family but it’s tough to say you have much for him after doing this for a second time. It really isn’t something you can have much sympathy for, as I’m sure the families of victims caught up in drink driving incidents would agree.

The club set a precedent not firing off Hardaker or Mullen but this is a second offence and if visa issues take it out the clubs hands then so be it.

My only sympathies lie with his immediate family and the trauma at not knowing where their husband/father is going to be in 28days time; UK or back in Australia?

It’s looking like Wigan’s hand is going to be forced due to the immigration and visa issues. It sure pleases me, and many others I’d expect, that TT is going to be off the books. But, I’m not happy at the way it happened. After having seen and dealt with the horrific aftermath of fatal collisions whereby it’s caused by a drink driver I’m astounded anyone, professional sportsman or not, can get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol. He’s got form for it as well from 2009 whilst at Parramatta.

I’d like the club to come out strongly on this and once and for all put it out there - get caught taking drugs, you’re sacked. Get caught drink driving, you’re sacked. Break the law, you’re sacked. Do anything away from the club to tarnish the clubs reputation, you’re sacked. Only a tough stance from here on in will eradicate this type of behaviour.
