Western Force expected to make play for off-contract Queensland Reds star Quade Coope

[Flat-top]

Plus Danny Cips has already started negiotations with Leciester and the Wasps so he wont be in the southern hempishere in 2012...

Don't think so (see link below - signed for Sale), this was a story in the UK press about a week ago, i've not seen it confirmed but looks a done deal to me.

I'm sure the Force will make a bid for him.

He probaly likes winning titles though

Unless he implodes and has to leave QLD (quite possible) don't expect him to leave.

It is interesting that he was seen with Beale and Cipriati in Melbourne however. Cipriati is also likely to be shown the door. He is drinking at last chance saloon and he farked up before the Rebels kicked a ball in 2012.

Cipriati is a fool. He is goneski. Enter stage left Cooper?

Joke....Bret Harris selling papers again. The force ned to win games if they ae to encorage stars to wa

Doubt it will happen. But it would be interesting to see.
Would be devastating to the reds though. Copper is their new Barnes.

No his not, Barnes was sold to the fans as the prodigal sun, and had he stayed, he could very well have assumed that role..

But Queensland were in a different place back then, players like James Horwill and Will Genia are more then Barnes ever was at the Reds.

I wonder if we could try and get Jonny May from Gloucester down here?

I doubt Cooper will come over. Jonny Wilkinson??

[wqerti]

Almost impossible to lure that legend, we need at least $1m a season to sign him

I doubt Cooper will come over. Jonny Wilkinson??

[Buddha Handy]

This is a joke, we are just being linked to every #10 now. Cooper would never come, maybe if JOC was still here but not now.

We need to go after Harris, Lucas, Halangahu, Toomua or Lealiifano for next year

I think Hilgendorf is overrated as well. I couldn't see him doing much better than Stannard

[jono]

I doubt Cooper will come over. Jonny Wilkinson??

I thought that too. But he won't leave Toulon.

Whoever it is needs to be on a two year plus deal so this shit doesnt repeat again next year or the year after. No plus one deals or other loop holes.

[zimeric]

hows brock James contract? i know hes signed on for a couple more years there but last i heard he was struggling to hold down a starting role all of a sudden???

[shasta]

Brock James gets a mention every year when the 10 curse strikes. I've always thought his territorial kicking game was too negative for Super Rugby. But the way our backs perform, maybe I'm mistaken. :-(

Harris and Toomua would be the pick of the lot. Robbie needs to give harris a game in wallabies strip to prevent him going back across the ditch.

I think Lealifano will go back to melbourne from what i hear.
Id be surprised if Lucas left the reds. Same with hangers.

[Stone Cold]

The headline should have read "Western Force expected to make play for any off-contract number 10 anywhere in the world"

Lachlan Mackay to make return to SuperRugby? That would be interesting to see. I wonder if he's still injury prone?
