With the recent happenings of Will Genia, and Super 15 team Force badly needing a fly half, combined with the Rugby League clubs developing cash chests with the revenue expected from media arrangements, there is plenty of talk about where does QC (Quade Cooper) go?
I'm of the impression that he's going to bide his time.
Firstly, after a poor Wallaby performance before his injury, combined with a long period of rehab, he needs to re-establish himself first.
From past history he likes to draw out making 'future'decisions until the last possible moment.
So I think he'll choose to stay where he is at the Reds for the 2013 season, playing in combination with Wll whom he knows enhances his own game, and then make a longer term decision at about this time next year.
So ideally, I think he'd prefer a 12 month extension with the Reds. But will the Reds management be prepared to offer just one year... I fear not. They have options in Lucas & Sam Lane (if the Force don't snap him up) so would insist on a longer arrangement.
So, where does he go, what does he do?
