yep, i meant 'transient' between the two professional sides, not the codes as a whole, a byproduct of having years of non-existent rugby to support has lead many union fans to become Storm fans.

Too much speculation based on 'rumours' at the moment.
Plus, as I have mentioned before, we need forwards.
EDIT: I am sure that all the franchises are exploring all possible options regarding uncontracted players for 2012. Its unsurprising that the Rebels are aggressive movers; everyone expected them to be in 2012, with no more WC to prevent players from taking a bit of a punt on a new team. This sort of stuff just sells papers.

i guess you never know but i'd be very surprised to see that go through.
their slogan is "stories start here" after all.

Like I said, its nice to think it will possibly happen and probably will sell some papers. But, I will believe it when it comes out as a media release from the Rebels.
Still more interested to know who we are targeting forwards-wise.

alright. classic hits just reported that rebels are expected to sign beale and JOC (James O'Connor) this week, WTF?

In this case, as a Rebels supporter I'd like to believe 'where there's smoke there's fire'. But, it all seems to have come on so fast. I'm still sceptical.
Edit: Now it seems (semi-)official:

Interesting, especially as the Force don't need a fullback with all their fullback options, and I'd say that fullback is far and away Beale's best position and I really hope he stays there. I think they would've been better chasing forwards, as said above, but regardless a world class signing is a great signing no matter the position. Hard luck for the Tahs, though.
James Buchanan

That seems to be the reason that is being given.
You listen to classic hits?
Good luck to KB (Kurtley Beale) if he head to Melbourne, he's been great for the Tahs and hopefully would blossom under Macqueen even more.

While there is many that would agree with you, I think that an important issue is what position KB (Kurtley Beale) wants to play. His enthusiasm to play 10 recently for the Tahs may have just been a show, or it may be that he misses playing that role these days.
I definitely agree with you though that the Rebels should be chasing forwards. We have some good'uns but they're primarily international. Hearing that we'd secured Fatcat or someone such as him would have made me much happier.

I think we'd need someone with distinct inside information to confirm or deny that specifically. I would not be surprised though if he had an 'exit to play for england' clause.
