Personally, I wouldn't be renewing Davies' contract.

Heh - the Tahs just recruited their third openside in the past couple weeks.

Does anyone know how much the Reds are paying Hynes? I would imagine that he wont be around next year so that would surely free up some room in the "cap"?

Meh - Holmes and Slipper are better scrummagers.

Can we move this to the Reds 2013 thread? Otherwise it'll be a nightmare to keep track of everything. If not - reading his twitter from last night he's been looking at a new house to live in. So with that "bone" in mind, I'd like to do what all journo's do and state that he an't going anywhere.

While true, it also allows for contracts to be signed. Scrap the name and just call it a "signing window". I'm pretty sure player agents are already licenced - http://www.irb.com/mm/document/lawsregs/regulations/04/23/31/42331_pdf.pdf (just trying to find out where the ARU has spelled it...

I agree there isn't much you can do. You could possibly adopt the European Football approach of having two "transfer" periods throughout the year. So say from Dec-Feb first period. Then July-August second period. You could then couple this with sanctions on agents (where I'm lead to believe...

Its exactly the reason why all negotiations should be held after the Super competition or after the ARC.

Difference is, Real Madrid has quality across the team. The Rebels (especially if Quade moved) only has quality in the backs. The money spent on Cippers and Quade would be better of used to another Hooker and back rowers.

Whoever leaked it to the Fox Sports crew and Journo's is what started the shitfest. Will made his mind up about going to the Force on Friday night -> Told Ewen etc he was going. Saturday rolls around murmurs begin and then smack bang in the middle of the Force game Clarkie starts saying Genia's...

That or a lot of the players like Quade, Diggers etc got into Genia's ear and said they're not going anywhere.

Good to hear! Hopefully he's back running! From memory, Will's been at GPS (during colts) due to school's rugby coaches being affiliated with GPS then moved to Norths and stayed there. I don't think he's ever been associated with Wests (other than Nigel playing there?). Actually, maybe...

This - when Quade does come back. Benny will be shifted to 15 and Morahan dropped. Harris will be kept at 12 because of Taps' collarbone being KIA and hopefully A Finger will be starting at 13 in two weeks time. I wonder if we can expect Aidan to make a return against the Chiefs? That's...

Perhaps el Digby has been in his ear over the weekend as Will sleeps?

QRU only came out and "confirmed" it after it had been leaked everywhere by the Fox Sports crew covering the Force game. Brett Harris wrote about it around lunch time as well.

While after Genia's news, it wont surprise me if Quade does go. But, there isn't much to do on the West coast for a guy like Quade. Hypothetically, if Quade and Will go, how will the Force fit their squad under the salary cap? They've chucked a huge amount at Genia, (then you've got the awesome...

I wouldn't say the QRU bridge has been burnt, what QRU has done is effectively take a defensive stance. If anything, the leak came out of Perth (seems odd that all the Fox Sports crew knew first whilst in Perth) so I would have thought that everything covered in this past page or so (ie Will...

Don't the ARU have to approve all contracts before they're official? If so, perhaps the Reds have already conceded "defeat" in retaining Will as the contract just requires formalities. I'd be pretty pissed off if I was Will though. Hard to trust a person/organisation if they're going to pull...

We've seen that years left in contracts doesn't matter in professional sport.

So after reading the G&GR take on Will moving, what exactly is Will unhappy about at the QRU at the moment? After 6 months of winning the grand final we see the head coach being moved on the defensive co-ordination leaving and now one of our best players jumping ship to a team in a worse...
