Lote's Next Match

A strong motivator for me creating Lote Tuqiri Online - The Official Website of Lote Tuqiri is for my fans, Rugby League lovers and other sports fans to learn more about me - the man behind the rugby league player.

Here's a some information about different aspects of my life, which you may or may not know about.

My Goals and Aspirations
To be a good husband and father and spend as much time with my family as I can.

Family History
I came to Australia from Fiji when I was very young. I have two sisters, one brother and who knows how many cousins both here and abroad. If you're reading this, you've probably met one.

Multiculturalism
Growing up with my Fijian heritage in Australia, and going on to play professional sport around the world has enabled me to understand and relate quite well to other cultures. I'm lucky to be part of such a supporting culture when it comes to Rugby, as Fiji and Rugby are often put together in the same breath. Within the Waratahs there's probably six or seven different nationalities and cultures represented which fosters a real multicultural feel within the playing group.

Sport and Fitness
I've been lucky enough to make a career out of sport; it's something I knew I wanted to do and focused on from when I was a teenager. Even if I hadn't made it to the level I have, I know that sport and fitness would always remain a big part of my life. I've often said to friends that if I wasn't playing professionally, I'd be a weekend warrior playing park footy or involved in club sport in some way.

Charities
I think it's really important to support those that are doing great things in the community. There are many organisations I, and those close to me, give time to support. Some of them can be found on My Mates page.
