well if a playing gig was what he wanted, i believe the reds tried to get him to sign in 2008 but he said no, or maybe they wanted NSWRU to release him but they said no, ah i cant remember

Beau has made those noises in the Manly Daily a couple of times now.
It seems puzzling, but there are other loosies in the Tahs system, such as Ben Coridas, a line out option, who Hickey may be more interested in. Mowen has also played a lot at 7 for Randwick, especially last year.
Beau is a top player and did well when Waugh was injured in 2008 but with Waugh re-signing and not too different a player from Beau, maybe a different kind of player appeals. I'm grasping at straws here as Beau is the Rats skipper and I can't think of too many negatives about him.
You never know - he could be as big a pain in the arse off the field as he is on it.
The great news is that he will be available for the 5th team. He could have disappeared with a longer contract.

He does tend to lift blokes. How has he been going anyway?
It is no different at the Brumbies, who is the back up 7 now? Hoiles?
When you have an experienced and durable player, the back up always struggles for game time. In the end you end up losing a generation at the club.
Robinson should have gone two years ago. The Reds needed him and he was a bit player for the Tahs
Sam Latunipulu looks pretty good and was the Aus U20s openside and hopefully becomes the young gun.

Yeah Samson is a tough as nails short arse fetcher and plays like Waugh did at the same age.
A more experienced guy like Beau will be better if the Orc gets injured but IIRR Oz Super teams have to trim their squads for 2010; so it may be that the Tahs have taken a pragmatic approach and intend to call up players like Coridas and Sam from the professional Academy only when Waugh goes down.
Sam has done well to be playing 1st Grade regularly having just turned 20 during the season. What a pity we don't have a national domestic competition going on now to assess these fringe players better.
What's that you say? We used to have one?

i can understand keeping waugh for the tahs. what i cant understand is why the reds wouldnt go for him over braid. i now there a young team but this import rule is so stupid. braid was going to be gone anyway and beau would probably cost far less. i dont understand why he is there and i dont understand why we imported a winger? of all things, a freakin winger, we dont have anyone that can run fast.
i love beau, he is a beast and i hope he comes back and runs riot for one of the aussie teams as soon as possible.
i also think, if Waugh is only a back up for the Wallabies and deans isnt going to even give him a chance to get on the field then he should be given the option by the aru and tahs to explore overseas contracts, as much as he means to the tahs, he has given long service and deserves to be able to experience europe while he is still young enough to play. If he isnt going to be used a younger player can take his spot and build towards the future properly!
