    Wests Scarborough 1st Grade juggernaut has played finals rugby each and every year since its inception and continues this remarkable feat yet again this season and unbelievably it's still rolling on and as an added little circle jerk for the masses Wests actually hold the record for the current longest unbroken finals record.

    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.

    Personally I'll breathe a sigh of relief. Maybe there won't be any more speculation.

    His manager has stated that he has not signed a 3 yr deal with Toulon, he is however looking for a short term European contract when the season ends with L.Irish. Apparently he will be back with a S15 club in time for selection for RWC.

    Exactly the reason I started my rant with assuming that it's true.

    I have to say though that I'm getting VERY where there's smoke about any contracting story with O'Connor, I'm starting to get the impression that he's whoring himself around to anybody who'll promise him a buck and playing all the dirty tricks to make just a little more coin.

    I feel a bit like Tazz, if this is true, it'll be the absolute last straw for me.

    Just like the West last week

    O’Connor’s management will open talks with the ARU and Super franchises but he will also try and negotiate a short term contract in Europe that would take him through to the end of the year. London Irish coach Brian Smith has already said he would be happy to keep him.

    http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/spo...n-for-oconnor/

    Lets be realistic here. As if Toulon would say "Sure James. Come over for a while, head back to Oz for the World Cup and we'll see you in 2016. It will only be a quick hop back over the channel for you!"
    Yeah right.
    The ARU wouldn't allow it anyway.

    What if the ARU didn't know?

    Of course they would see it. They have to ratify all contracts.

    Remember he doesn't have to play SuperRugby to be a Wallaby, playing 1st grade domestic qualifies him too.

    Given that Halfpenny has just signed with Toulon from next season it reduces the likelihood/options for JOC there. Although maybe as a bench-warming utility back....?!?!?!
