Gees i can just imagine the meeting with the ARU:

" Hey Quade this is a signed check now please put your price in, cheers"

I have a feeling he'll come.

strangely enough, i have had the same funny feeling since this story broke too.....????

however, apparently the Knights are meant to be weighing in with a late offer based on apparently having nearly signed him 2 years ago from a heads up from Matty Johns???? was in DT today.....

I wonder if there will be an announcement tonight with regards to what has gone on in the meeting between Quade and the ARU.
It's being said atm that the ARU are keen to work somethingout before the end of the week.

they will be screaming it from the rooftops if he re-signs but if things go quiet i think that might be a good sign for us

I think he will re-sign with union, leauge players use Union as a bargaining chip to get more money so I think he is just repaying the favour

EVERYONE!
On Nine News, Quade revealed after his talks with the ARU that he is "still uncertain".
You can bet your arses he is coming.
Remember what we were thinking earlier? If the ARU came out now and announced something, it would guarantee he was signing.
They haven't.
He also said, when asked about what the ARU offered him, "nothing yet".
Tell tale signs anyone???
If the speculation we had earlier, you know if he doesn't sign with them tonight he will come to us, is true, well from the way he was talking and acting as he left it looks like he is coming to the NRL, and to Parramatta.

ch 9 said he was looking disillusioned after the aru meeting. and for once the description matched the footage

I suppose you kind of think its a good think with regards to the assumed result of the meeting, but for some reason i still think he will remain with union. But what keeps me second guessing is the fact Quade hasn't officially come out and said i will remain with union etc. . .

The suspense is killing me!:crazy:

It's gone well beyond a bargaining chip to get his deal up wouldn't you think?
Have to agree with that.
When a RL player uses RU as a bargaining chip sometimes you don't even hear of them having a meeting with the ARU, and the ARU will deny it as well.

There is a lot more to this than the old bargaining chip.
That doesn't mean he will sign, but he is obviously having a think about it.
