Too True mate, but I have been in enough business deals to know when I am being played or not, and this one smells to high heaven.
If I were a betting man, I would say the odds are 98 to 2 against him coming to Parra. They have played it perfectly to get what they always wanted.
1. More money from the Union, priority number one.
2. So much more money that they will be committed to playing him in the Wallabies team no matter what or risk major egg on face.
3. He has become the 'MAN' in their sport and his profile has gone to the apex level in public recognition.
4. Due to this new found recognition all he has to do is play well enough to receive praise and he will find many new sponsors waiting for him at the bottom of the garden like little fairy Godmothers willing to grant all his wishes true.
But hey I suppose by my reckoning there's a couple of percent chance that he may risk all that and come and try his hand at the toughest team sport in the world for a guaranteed amount, but if he should fail then well...I think you all can work out the rest.
Like I said, due to his actions thus far, my money is on him staying put. He and his manager have played a great game of poker and they have one hell of a pay day coming up.
:crazy:
