Genia hasn't been number 1 in Australia for a while, and some could argue his not even number 1 at the Reds ATM.

We don't want any player to leave, do we?
We are in a war for survival, he is just another casualty.

Let's not over dramatise the situation, it is a professional sport, not a war... Thanks

If you check a dictionary, I think you will find that the word "war" can be used in a number of contexts.
The "war on drugs", for example. This is common usage. Is this offensive?

Yes it does offend me, I attended a funeral only last week for a person who was a true casualty of war, a Afghanistan veteran suffering PTSD who took his own life..
So you'll have to excuse me if I think it's fucken ridiculous that people refer to this as a 'war for survival' and this player getting signed to an overseas club as a 'casualty'.

So now the Wallabies 2016 is looking a lot better.
LHP : Sio, Cowan, Daley, Hoskings, Robinson
No 2 : Moore, Charles, Siliva,
THP : Faulkner, Weeks, Ala'alatoa, Toupou
Lock : Carter, Timani, Coleman, Enever, Staniforth, Jeffries, Arnold
No 6 : Fardy, Cottrell
No 7 : McMahon
No 8 : Butler, Vaea
No 9 : Phipps, Meehan, Dowsett
No 10 : To'omua, Debreczini
No 11 : Tomane, Horne
No 12 : Lealiifano, Godwin, Dargaville
No 13 : Kuridrani (T), Rosolea, Ah Wong, English
No 14 : Speight, Shipperley
No 15 : O'Connor, Crawford, Placid, Haylett-Petty
Just need Phipps and Folau to commit to 2016 (if they haven't yet) and another lock to step up to test match level and we are looking good. Although, I have to say, to this point it is comforting that the Brumbies have been able to retain most of their current Wallabies. Otherwise, it wouldn't be anywhere near as promising for next year.

BR you've lost your melon mate.
Slipper, Simmons, Holmes,
Hooper, probably Pocock, Big Dog etc. will all still be here

Have any of these yet signed a contract for 2016? In my original post, I clearly said that I haven't been able to get a lot of current information on the contract status for Reds and Tahs players especially. So, if you know any who are signed up for 2016, then I'll be more than happy to include them and strengthen the squad.
From what I do know, Poey and Simmons are currently only signed for 2015. I'm pretty sure McCalman hasn't yet signed beyond 2015 and I don't know Hooper's status.
My whole point is that even with all the players leaving, we still have a very good squad left of players who have committed to 2016 and/or beyond.
Phipps has already re-signed until 2017.

@Scrubber - see my reply above to @hammertime. Are there any Reds who have committed to next year who are missing? The best info I can find by trawling through the Reds 2015 thread is that Daley, Toupou and possibly O'Connor are signed, but Gill, Hanson, Simmons, Slipper, Browining, Taulagi, Cooper and Talekai are only signed for 2015 atm. Can't find any info on the Faingaas, Schatz, CFS, Tapuai, Frisby or Holmes.

Phipps is signed to 2017. Pretty sure Benn Robinson is signed to 2016. He signed a 3 year contract before the Lions tour under Deans and before the scrum rules changed and then a few months later got dropped by McKenzie. Read two different articles about TPN one said he's off contract the other that he is signed to 2016.
