The ARU do have their say over marquee players. Whether that means signing a contract, I do not know.

Let us just suppose ARU do not offer a very large top up when they recommence negotiations.
Does anyone actually think QC (Quade Cooper) will actually walk from the Reds if ARU play hardball contractually?
I can't see this happening, particularly while he is still injured and first pick #10 for Team Rehab.
Mungoball Clubs seem to have their rosters more or less finalised, and while he is injured I can't see that there would be too much interest from Mungoland.
Europe and Japan - Hmmmm again the injury. Can't see any offers coming in until he is playing again.
Huge deals like the Dan Carter and $BW type from Jap/Euro clubs frequently result in huge disappointment because both those players were badly injured not long after they started at their respective off shore clubs.
In the short term QC (Quade Cooper) seems to be stuck in Heavensgame in Australia. Time for him to HTFU and get fit and back on the field before any further shenanagans.

I like my heroes flawed too. For example John Eales played for the Reds.
QC (Quade Cooper) is a step too far. A good player but not a 'hero'. Especially since laptopgate.

All players(including foreign) who sign with a super rugby team have a contract with the ARU since they are the governing body in Australia, it's part of the RUPA agreement..
I'm sure there would be some minor changes in reference to Wallaby requirements though.

An interesting saying.
I'd prefer to see it phrased: "I like my heroes human".
Nobody cares if you fuck up once (drink a few too many), if you're media shy, or if you have the occasional form slump. People care when it either becomes consistent or if you do something worse.

Hmmmm.... The facilities that facilitate.
Is there a typo in the reference? Is it an attitute chamber that the Wobs are missing?

From what I have read in the paper Timmy Horan is pretty good at one on one truth sessions. He was the one who told Quade to get a hair cut. We could call it the "Timmy Horan reckoning chamber".

Or to steal a line. We could call it the Ministry Of Love.

If you counted up all the stupid things I've done over the years. Particularly the things I only have partial memory of, I reckon I'd be judged far worse than Quade.
I'm wary of passing judgement.

I've done many things worse then some of Quade's acts and regularly whinge about my employer..
But then again I'm not getting paid 1000% above the average wage to represent my company and its products, nor do I have an audience of thousands of people listening to what I say....

Perhaps this is how the ARU put the whole thing behind them: he can start again.
Given the potential ramifications of such a low ball offer it makes you wonder what input coaches may have had - at least to the point of indicating their thinking on his importance to the Wallabies.
Is this the type of contract non-test s15 players are on? If so doesn't it mean the ARU can offer someone else a topped up contract?

Here is an article from a US paper about a very promising high school athlete and why he has chosen to pursue a rugby career over American Football
http://www.csnchicago.com/preps/new...rs-rugby-to-footbal?blockID=803461&feedID=629
Read the whole article. Very interesting, but these section shows why Cooper is important to rugby. We know
his worth to Australia. Yes he did stuff up. He has publically apologized. The ARU needs to keep him in
Australian rugby.

Not entirely unexpected, and predicted by some posters several pages back.
The ball is now firmly in QC (Quade Cooper)'s court. It will be very interesting to see his (and his management teams) next move.
There should be no problems getting this thread to a maiden Century now.

whereas if he wasn't a guy so keen to "back himself" he could still be on a multi year contract
now he has backed himself into a corner
so will it be sushi or bouillabaisse?

I tip him to back himself, come out & have another blinder of a year in S15 helping the Reds lift another Championship Trophy, in the meantime earning himself the biggest pay deal in ARU history when he is instrumental in helping the Wallabies beating the Lions & bringing back the Bledisloe.
