Patrick Tuipulotu DROPPED From Blues Squad

IALT: Write about Patrick Tuipulotu being dropped from the Blues Squad after being late to training. 

Blues Lock Patrick Tuipulotu has missed his chance to show in the Blues vs Lions game tonight. He failed to contact Blues Management that he was going to be late to training at their Alexandra Park Headquarters on Monday. The failure to make the starting line-up ahead of Gerald Cowley Tuioti and Scott Scrafton itself raised eyebrows. Tuipulotu place was replaced by Jimmy Tupou after what has been described by the Blues as a breach of team protocol, would have added significant impact from the bench, but coach Umaga clearly decided the 24-year-old didn't have the consistency in form needed to displace either Cowley-Tuioti or Scrafton.  

This isn't his first time Tuipulotu has found himself at odds with the Blues management this year. But whatever reasons behind his breach, the fact that he won't get a chance to play in this unique match, and stamp his own name in History, will be hugely disappointing to himself and Umaga. 


For me I think that this is a clear example of a person not looking ahead of themselves, and not being able to be responsible for their actions. In my class we have been learning about Responsibility, Honesty and Integrity, this is a good example for Responsibility. If I were this person I wouldn't be too ashamed but let this be a lesson to contact if your going to be late and always try and make an effort to turn up to training early. The Blues squad will look different with Patrick, when he is at his best he is a dangerous  ball carrier and defender.
