Fair enough. All those Union and AFL morons claimed that spending millions on league players was free enterprise. Don't cry when it goes the other way.

please sign him, show the ru there not as big as they think they are. RU is the rich mans game, always have it easy. for one player we sign of theirs, they sign 10 of ours. Quade will be a great edition to Rugby League, and could turn international easy.

Australian Rugby Union boss John O'Neill and Wallabies coach Robbie Deans have shot down reports that star playmaker Quade Cooper is considering a shock defection to rugby league next season.
News Limited on Friday claimed Cooper had held secret negotiations with the Parramatta NRL club, but both O'Neill and Deans say the 22-year-old is going nowhere.
O'Neill suspects the report is typical of a player agent trying to bump up his charge's price tag at a time the ARU is in negotiations with Australia's reigning Super 14 player of the year.
"We woke up this morning to read the news and I'm not sure how accurate the reporting has been," O'Neill told reporters on Friday.
"We already had a meeting with his agent scheduled today. It may just be a coincidence that we wake up to a headline.
"Quade's a rising star ... a young man at the start of his career - why would you go to rugby league?
"He's got the world at his feet in our game, he's got a World Cup next year, he's a player we want to retain and we're confident in the coming week or so we'll have a satisfactory deal done.
"Negotiations are continuing. They have been underway for a little while now and we're confident Quade will be staying in rugby union."
Asked his thoughts on the reports, Deans said: "There is no dalliance with league".
"Quade's expressed to us that not only does he love what he does but he wants to continue doing it and personally I'm pretty confident that that will be the case," he said.
"This tends to happen. It's newsworthy, so to speak - maybe - but I'm confident in the long run (he'll stay)."

At first I brushed it aside as a bit of media spin to push Cooper's price tag up during ARU negotiations. Now I'm getting a little anxious..

Haha what a clown. How quickly they forget. Also, league pinches all the good union players at schoolboy level so it's not publicised.

It'll be good to see him play next year for the Reds and the Wallabies and on to the RWC after that then if he really wants to go play League so be it but at least one more year.

I surely hope he doesn't go. I think the qld Reds have got a really good core group of players at the mo.

He went from Robbing someones house to earning mega $$$ I hope if he does sign he plays good or even if he plays crap still gets paid anyway so it's a win win situation.
