The Crimes mentions that Elsom has apparently already finalised a deal with the ARU who are keen for him to stay, but that he just needs to sign on with one of the provinces...
The Tahs might actually use the extra money they put aside for Elsom into giving Waugh a lucrative deal to stay as he won't receive an ARU top up...
Elsom had supposedly been negotiating with the Tahs for most of this year...
As neither the Brumbies or the Tahs don't want him the Reds might end up being the favourites... unless of course he can't get what he wants and then he's off overseas...

Shows his popularity...more like Cocky Elsom (see what I did there).
I hope he doesn't come to Queensland. Rather see the development of the younger players like Shatz and Quirk, and also see Higginbotham continue to improve.

Anyone have any idea why he seems so roundly loved in Ireland and no one cares much for him here? Perceptions that he cares only about the money that didn't translate up north cos, well, he was there for the money?
As a player I admire him, as a person, well I just don't know him but I feel I can and should comment as I too have experienced not being wanted by any of the Australian Super provinces.

He won Leinster the European Cup almost single handedly. And after the economic meltdown of late 2008 he was apparently hit financially, so was up there helping his bank account in Euros.

The only logical choice would be the Rebels. With Elsom, JOC (James O'Connor) & Gilbert, they would attract a lot of media attention and probably attract a lot more talent to their stable, hopefully attracting a larger supporter base... Probably exactly what they are after down there... Might even win a few more games. Win win

Do they want him? Any of our Irish correspondents have an opinion, except of course Thomond78, who only sees through Munster-tinted glasses?

I've never seen Rocky play as well since he's gone back, He loved the intensity of the Heineken Cup.

I club in France would be ideal for him now, he would struggle at Leinster and the "Super 15" farce is just not getting the best out of him.
Well, I did ask for Irish input. Perhaps you might elaborate on the "farce" of the Super 15? I, for one, can't wait.

We have Sean O'Brien who makes out back row an army of ten.
Riiiggghttt. Let's assume for a minute that drivel actually means anything. That relates to Elsom, and his massive 1 game played, exactly how?

An artful line, Jnor.
