A return to the National Rugby League for Lote Tuqiri seems unlikely with only one club expressing a serious interest in the sacked Wallaby.

Of all 16 NRL clubs, only the Gold Coast have said they would actively pursue negotiations with Tuqiri if he was interested in returning to league.

The Titans Chief Executive Michael Searle said if Tuqiri wants to come back to rugby league and if he's comfortable coming back and it wouldn't affect his legal case, which it shouldn't, then they will talk to him.

But any negotiations would depend on the circumstances surrounding Tuqiri's contract termination with the Australian Rugby Union and whether the former Brisbane, Queensland and Australia winger would be willing to take a substantial pay cut.
