There was never any talk about genia coming to the force. The word was he was about to head over seas. Then out of the blue on a saturday arvo foxsports announce they have huge news which they will anounce during the force game.
Switch the tv on and there is tim horan spilling the beans and moments later the reds release a press statement confirming it. This all after the night before genia teling the reds he was off.
coincidence? I highly doubt it. Very smart from the reds as the force werent in any position to do anything as they where busy with the game.
And to them spring it all on poey during the post match interview was very poor.
Once again the reds are no saints maybe there are the ones being investigated re the salary cap would explain how they can keep everyone. No doubt they will get theres prob in the form of a bloke named richard after link is made wallabies coach.

Don't make me laugh TOCC, last time there was a leak about a contract it came from Tim Horan and the Reds![]()
This article was released in The Australian on the 28th April.. So it was typed on the 27th..
Tim Horan didnt 'tweet' until the night on the 28th..

I have never read any praise on this forum for Vern Reid.LIf I have it straight, he's the boss at the Force.Who is it that gives the boss his job-is he(or they) to blame for the constant misfortunes and procrastinations associated with the franchise?If Vern is the problem is there something that can be done to rectify the problem?I reckon if Len Buckeridge was running the show within 5 years we'd own a brand new stadium,have interests in most of the other franchises and the ARU would owe the Force enough money that they'd do as they were told.
You first say that for days before the announcement it was tipped that Genia was coming to the force then produce an article dated the same day as it all went down.
As TG said if that articles time was correct we here would have been all over it the night before and if we didn’t pick it up all the Reds Fans over on G&G sure would have and had a field day but the article wasn’t posted until 5:11pm on sat arvo the same time as everything was going down on fox.
The truth is and you know it Tim Horan and Fox sports broke the news live during the pre game of the Forces match followed by the Reds media Release.
“Everyone knows whether it’s rugby, politics or whatever, front-rowers should rule the world, so to have a hooker at the helm makes sense,” Nathan Charles Western Force & Wallabies Hooker.
There were rumours of genia coming to the force before horan said Anything about it

The whole thing was a deliberately orchestrated ambush by the QRU, admirably aided and abetted by Horan. No-one will ever convince me otherwise on that, no matter what 'evidence' they produce.
However, as the whole thing showed Genia to be such a meek and malleable person, I am glad he's not going to be wearing the blue and black jersey next season or any season, no matter how fantastic a player he is.
And if Queenslanders think that's sour grapes on my part, so be it. They can think whatever they like.

That's all you've got? I'm dissapointed for you.
Seriously though, I still don't see the big fuss about us not getting genia. Regardless of how good he is. I'd rather give pocock 400k a season if that's what it takes to keep him here. He is more valuable to the force than genia was going to be IMO
