    I'm over rugby league, says Tahu

    I'm over rugby league, says Tahu
    AAP - June 27, 2008, 6:06 pm

    Red-hot Timana Tahu has revealed he was keen to play rugby union four years ago and says he has no regrets about swapping codes.

    "I'm over rugby league," said Tahu as he prepared for Australia A's clash with Fiji on Sunday at Ballymore.

    The former Kangaroos star last year labelled rugby "boring" in a deliberate move to deflect attention away from his controversial code switch.

    But the ex-Newcastle and Parramatta back confessed that rugby was at the forefront of his thoughts as far back as 2004 when he was a regular member of Australian and NSW league teams.

    Even as State of Origin fever grips NSW and Queensland, Tahu denied he felt any pangs of doubt about his conversion.

    “Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White

    Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
