    Geeeez TOCC you take some amount of sh*t on here! You must have no voice left with all the LOL's! Why do you bother?

    You're not Horan are you? Does it stand for Tim Orally Crushes (Genia's) Contract?

    Hi TOCC
    Rugby is a team sport and with 4 players on such high salaries there is nothing in team in that

    1) Quade Copper He is only as good as the team around him and does not deserve any more than the other folk.. Quade is to over rated and it showed in the World cup ...

    2) James Horwill Yes a very good player and a good leader but has not really shown that he is worthy of the extra payments

    Digby a great work horse and top attacking player butalso needs players around him so should be given some top up payments but not 200k to 250 more than others

    Will Genia has also stepped up to the mark and I am sure I have underestimated his annual salary and would have to be the only one I see that could command a high salary but 450 k is alot when ya mates are only on 100 a yr

    Everything. I'm sure you didn't mean to be arrogant and condescending by posting that particular RedsRugby media statement on this Western Force supporters' site on the day we find out that Nick Cummins didn't make the squad, but that's how it came across to me. My apologies if I misinterpreted your post and intentions.

    Now, now, I am sure TOCC posted the same article on any other site he may frequent.

    Could you confirm that TOCC? To put my mind at rest that you are not picking on us.

    I posted an article relevant to the Queensland Reds in the Queensland Reds sub-forum..
    No different to what I have been doing so for 4 years now..

    You don't want to turn into an insular bunch refusing to acknowledge anything outside of your own province do you?

    Well thats purely your opinion, i must note that those figures you have thrown out are purely speculative based on media reports(i would have thought western force fans of all fans would have learnt to take media reports with a grain of salt)...

    Ioane wont be on anything near $400k, wingers earn significantly less then the playmakers...
    As for Horwill, well its a little known secret that his folks are in the top 100 wealthiest people in QLD..
    whether that impacts on his wage demands we will never know....

    Genia, Cooper and Horwill rightfully deserve to be the highest earners in the team.. Genia proved why in 2012, and Cooper proved why in 2011.. Horwill is the Captain and the heart of the team..

    Not sure about the others; but speaking for myself, insular suits me just fine.

    Yep speaking for yourself. TOCC's contributed more to TWF over the years than you have.

    That as it may be, I'm not going to stop..
    I will continue to post articles and provide my input as I have for years now, I never rub a force fans nose in it when they either lose or something else negative happens to the club, nor do I gloat incessantly when the Reds win.

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    Possibly because Reds fans arent so insular they are happy to participate in forums with fans from other teams.... Oh shit...
