The battle for the signature of star Wallabies back Matt Giteau will come to a head on Wednesday when all four Super 14 teams hold talks with him in Canberra.{br}{br}View the Entire Article{br}
I know the Tahs will push hard for him but they tried for him before and he said no.
Early theories suggest he'll go to Perth to be with Henners (bleh), but who knows.
i think the Force should grab him

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
We desperately need somebody of that calibre to ensure that the supporters see a way forward. He'll help us immensely.
Just happy to be here
I have voted yes, it would be great if he was on our side and would help our backline hugely.
However, for the same dollars we could get two our three very good young players, Gits only needs one wayward tackle made or laid and you've blown a huge pile of money for the year.
On balance definately better to have him, but I can see an argument not to.
Is he six to seven times better than a top level NSW or Qld rising star signing for the first year?
Or three or four times better than perhaps a Julian Huxley or Berrick Barnes?
His package would pay the entire WA Academy program for the year or easily the Apprentice wages for the Squad!
Also, what happens if he has a negative effect on our social Half Back?

A big name is a great way to do this. I realise there is risk involved but if they are in the business to win then these risks must be taken.
