A deal is a deal wether you buy a car build a house if you sign and committ there are consequences
Why shouldn't the owner who spends millions on rugby players try to protect his brand as you could set a precedent for all players but from what I can see is that it seems to be only sooky Australians that put pen to paper and then bail
The ARU comes to there assistance and pays there way and tops up there contracts to keep 2nd rate players in the green and gold instead of hungry dedicated players who put the game first
Quade cooper a first string sevens player what a joke there wouldn't be the other eight there to make the tackles
Yes shasta SBW is the one who jumped codes but was also taken back by the code he Shasted
The fight between the codes is a joke and opens up the doors to ridiculously payouts to players who are better at being marketed than actually playing the game
Both SBW and cooper have the same manager who plays both codes off against each other for the benefit of the client which is his job but there are still better players out there than cooper who don't dummy spit
SBW very lucky to be an AB as there are better players than him and he is more likely to cost the AB a World Cup than help them win one
With coopers outburst last night it shows the respect he has for his team and the jumper
At least SBW sails under the radar and deflects attention away from any negative press
Between the two who is the sook
The ARU are simply trying to keep their best players in Australia, it is as simple as that. Now I totally agree that players should not be putting pen to paper and then backtrack and the recent defections are surely not good for the image of Australian Rugby.
My point was and still is that Mourad Bodjellal will always cry foul about anything that goes against him and his team (Just Google search Boudjellal outburst and you will see what I mean). He surely is a motivated club owner who has done a lot at Toulon but the fact is that his reactions tend to be over the top most of the time and he has paid teh price for it on several occasisons.
