Toulon boss threatens to sue ARU on Cooper

[Alison]

So what kind of salary are the 7's players getting paid. Don't tell me Quade is in it just for the chance of a gold medal?

Even if he was in it just for that, Khoder Nasser would never allow him to sign a contract to that effect!! 💰💰💰💰

Mourad Boudjellal is just a cry baby..... I dont think that there are any foundations for him to recover millions of Euros from the ARU other than the exit amount stipulated which in nowhere close to millions.
He has always been one to blame everyone for anything that goes wrong.... interesting that they would have picked Cooper as the face of their season ticket campaign with all the stars that they already have at end and who are obviously more known by the French public than Cooper that they would not know much of (No disrespect to Cooper).

A deal is a deal wether you buy a car build a house if you sign and committ there are consequences
Why shouldn't the owner who spends millions on rugby players try to protect his brand as you could set a precedent for all players but from what I can see is that it seems to be only sooky Australians that put pen to paper and then bail
The ARU comes to there assistance and pays there way and tops up there contracts to keep 2nd rate players in the green and gold instead of hungry dedicated players who put the game first
Quade cooper a first string sevens player what a joke there wouldn't be the other eight there to make the tackles

Well it might be if you ignore the incident that first drew my attention to Mourad Boudjellal. That was his signing of some sooky Kiwi who had just walked out on a 5 year contract and bolted to Toulon in the middle of the night. Karma can be a bitch.

Bon voyage Cooper.....

Yes shasta SBW is the one who jumped codes but was also taken back by the code he Shasted
The fight between the codes is a joke and opens up the doors to ridiculously payouts to players who are better at being marketed than actually playing the game
Both SBW and cooper have the same manager who plays both codes off against each other for the benefit of the client which is his job but there are still better players out there than cooper who don't dummy spit
SBW very lucky to be an AB as there are better players than him and he is more likely to cost the AB a World Cup than help them win one
With coopers outburst last night it shows the respect he has for his team and the jumper
At least SBW sails under the radar and deflects attention away from any negative press
Between the two who is the sook

The ARU are simply trying to keep their best players in Australia, it is as simple as that. Now I totally agree that players should not be putting pen to paper and then backtrack and the recent defections are surely not good for the image of Australian Rugby.
My point was and still is that Mourad Bodjellal will always cry foul about anything that goes against him and his team (Just Google search Boudjellal outburst and you will see what I mean). He surely is a motivated club owner who has done a lot at Toulon but the fact is that his reactions tend to be over the top most of the time and he has paid teh price for it on several occasisons.

Don't include a get out clause in a contract that is activated when a fee is paid.

Bodjellal is a deadest peanut.

No, it's the Wallabies team environment that is toxic...I think it has something to do with the yellow jersey.......

No use complaining about players not having pride in the jersey if that's how fans feel about it.

I was quoting Quade.

I'd hoped people would have remembered.
