Sure it's a possibility. I wouldn't say a likelyhood be certainly a possibility.
But look at the other blokes we have, Quade and Barnes both have strengths and weaknesses but they're both good players. Then you have Leliafano and Tamua (note: I'm aware of my poor spelling but I've got to smash this comment out quickly and get back to work).
We don't need Kurtley to be a 10 as much as we need him to be a fullback. Then again, I suppose Leliafano has plenty of potential as a 10... as does JO'C.

I agree with en_force_er.
We have pleanty of capable tens, a couple of exceptional ones and a handful more who are due to step up to the plate in the next season or two.
Some would argue that when Beale is at his best he is better than Dagg. It may be the case that he could be a better ten than Cooper but if it ain't broke.....

NZ Herald reporting that we've signed Jason Woodward from Wellington:

In both Roberts and Woodward the Rebels have a couple of very exciting young players . Watched them both play over the weekend. Roberts has great feet , a lot of speed and a good boot.
Woodward is a big lad ,is very safe and reliable and has a massive boot. There is not really an Australian 15 comparison to Woodward , bit in the old Roger Gould mould.
Believe they have also signed Rory Sidey , not sure about that one , but I guess in a squad of 30 has to be some tradesman like players.
So by my calc squad looks like
Props. Weekes, Alo Emile, Aloheli, Henderson
Hookers. Robinson, Tyrell
Locks. Pyle,Neville, Thomson,King
Backrow,. Jones, Higinbotham,Saffy,Delve,Fugistallar, Davidson
Half. Phipps, Stirzaker,Kingi
10. Beale, Roberts
Centre. JOC (James O'Connor),Inman,Sidey,Mitchell,
Back three. Woodward, Vuna, Sitauti, Rockabaro
One to go plus EPS . Has to be another hooker somewhere.
Very young team compared to last year.

Blake seems to be still around, no confirmation though.
Couldn't find anything about Sidey.

Yeah probably right but that's 31. I think Blake is still training but hasnt yet been re signed. Heard reports Tessman is going and that they are looking at a hooker from Canberra , Leafa who won the ACT club comp player of the year .

I rate Beale when he is fully conditioned (of course), but he is not fit to cut Dagg's toenails let alone take his position on a rugby field. Dagg is close to the most the threatening player on the planet.

Surely he will be nicknamed, "books."

I am still mistified about the drawdown of imports for the Rebels. I have as fol:
Ged Robinson - unsure of status but eligible for Wallabies 2014
James King
Gareth Delve
Fugistaller
Jason Woodward
Unsure of Rockobaro eligibility as he was classified by IRB in France for local eligibility. Mark Swanepoel lost Aus eligibility for having season in NZ and IRB still consider Ruahri Murphy as Irish even though Aus citizen
The Canberra Vikings Hooker would be classed as a foreigner so I do not think he would be eligible for EPS

Rokobaro has played an "A" game for Fiji, so not eligible for Aus is my understanding. I think that's why the TAHS let him go.

I thought he played his best rugby for the Rebels and was quality. The supporters in my area always quite liked him, me included..
I think he has an NZ A cap. Could be wrong.

Why's that? Only 7s, A, and full Caps take you out of contention.
