Quade Cooper knocks back Parramatta Eels offer to switch to NRL and sticks with Union

[El Diablo]

stupid place to have it imo

didn't know you followed the Bledisloe so closely

saw it posted in TFC

i reckon he'll sign for 2 or 3 years with the aru, and now that the qld nrl teams have seen he's interested in league they will swoop at the duration of his contract and he'll join the broncs or the titans in the years to come

Gee....that makes a lot of sense...:crazy: Why do you think that? Or is it just a gut feeling...like mine?

Quade will change NOW accepting a big contract..which, I believe, he has already put ink to.
His price won't increase and he would not get any better than he is being offered now - which according to my gut feeling - he has already agreed to.

Pete I've never seen you so sure about something (outside of Timmy Smith being the worst halfback in the comp). I hope your right, and i tend to agree with you.

Most signs point to signed with Eels.

Imo, Quade Cooper has been signed for the Club, and the announcement will be made next week after the Bledisloe. He has delayed announcing what he has doing because he wanted to get one in against the All Blacks... If he was going to sign with ARU he would have by now.
Notice how quiet the Eels have become in discussing him. It would be rude of him not to tell the Eels to look for someone else.
Has he done that....Nooooooo.
Is he going to get offered more dosh by the ARU after playing in probably a losing side..Nooooooo.
Notice how Hindy back tracked on his 'sledging' of him when his signing was first mooted..He is a SPECIAL....Just read between the lines.
In my opinion, he has already signed to play with Parra...based on his friendship with Hayne, Tahu...

Or Pete, he could be doing exactly what I would be doing after using the NRL to bolster my ARU contract and delay the announcement of sticking with the Yawnion for a while, so as NOT to look so transparent in my manipulation of the two parties, to the general public, as most of us believe he has from the very outset. ;-)

touche`...Too good last weekend.
We couldn't handle your big forward pack after Mosese (MoiMoi) broke his leg..they got 25 minutes break with just 14 minutes left on the clock.
Good luck in matches against Tigers on Sunday..We here in Hay have a close bond with Yenda and I know our supporters will be behind the Blueheelers in its quest for the double..Good Club, good blokes and passionate about your footy..

It was good to get one back after pie in the sky. I hope Mosese's recovery goes well. Thanks for your support.

yeah pete tis a gut feeling like yours i guess, just one i think which is of a higher probability.....but hey if your right (which i think your not) i will bow to the alter of parra pete after all you are a legend in these circles

 

[boxhead]

Well, that article over yonder seems to indicate he won't sign; it says he is expected to sign today with the ARU, which means Stagger's speculations are correct.

carved up the Springboks, lol

kicked a goal on the siren, quality article that one

 

[Parra Guru]

Quade's friend James O'Connor

 

[Gronk]

I watched James O'Connor on the Rexona Greatest Athlete. f**k me I have never seen a kid rate himself like he does. Billy Slater owned him time and time again.

Yeah Billy Owned him.

Wonder if Billy is going back for a Season 3, I think he will seriously need to coin if the Storm have to drop his pay packet. :lol:

expected to sign...and signing....two different actions...

I'm a legend in my own mind....:lol:
Just a passionate football fan like everyone else on here who contributes....

Actually I'd say it all depends on whether or not the Storm organised it for him! If they did, then the payments count against the cap - and so he WON'T be doing season 3.

Storm aren't allowed to drop his pay packet, they've just been released from the 3rd party obligations they set up. So technically they're getting away with rorting the cap, just not quite as badly as the Bulldogs did.

I suppose the next bunch of cheats will get dealt with a little bit better again....

Weidler reported he's signing a 1 year deal with Union

If that were the case you'd have to think he's good odds to join us in 2012 after the union world cup.
