This whole mess is a circus. I still admire QC (Quade Cooper) for sticking to his guns. He clearly feels aggrieved and is speaking out about it. We as the public will never know what has gone on behind closed doors. QC (Quade Cooper) may have been raising issues with the Wobs administration since before the RWC but this also may be the first time they've heard about these opinions from QC (Quade Cooper).
Whether you're in Quade's corner or not, or sitting atop the fence, it all comes down to interpretation of what he said. I think that the comment he made about picking an attacking player and asking him to play defensively isn't about QC (Quade Cooper) saying he doesn't want to defend - it's about asking him to execute a game plan that he either doesn't think he can, or doesn't want to. Either way, I think if he voiced these concerns prior to the game then he shouldn't have been selected. I think it's akin to picking a player out of position, but that's only my opinion.
I think his vague replies last night and constant references to "facilities" and "environments" were him trying not to point the finger at someone or a group of people. Whether this is something he was told to do or something he chose to do, again, we'll never know. But in terms of pointing fingers, at this point (last night) I think he was damned if he did and damned if he didn't.
I'm still in his corner. I don't think the tweets were the right thing to do, but I think I understand why he did it. I don't feel that he's being selfish. He is going to be the biggest loser out of this and I'm pretty sure he knows it yet he's sticking to his guns.
