I'm pretty sure Horwil, Lucas, Tapuai & Ioane are at least locked in for next year Troy & Holmes has stated in the past that he'd never play for another team in Australia. I know the Fainga'a's signed a new deal last year but unsure if it was just for one season or not.

 

[Troy]

Thanks Penguin, I'm pretty sure most of the big names are signed up for next year was interested in how long.

Forgot to add on that list that Richard Graham is also signed up. After meeting him at the GAGR Christmas drinks, I'm looking forward to seeing how he goes.

I believe Digby is off contract at the end of the year! Can anyone confirm?

Thought he signed for 3 years at the end of 2010.

I would love to see us keep the twins.

The one year deal was strange so i am not confident. With most other big names locked away they need to be high priority. Saia has been one of the best so far and Ant showed that CFS has a fair way to go to take his jersey in his only game.

 

[Ruggo]

I suspect the one year deal had more to do with the ARU's end of the negotiation regarding top up.

 

[Troy]

Digby is signed up to the end of 2015..

Horwill's contract finishes at the end of the year!

Would not be good loosing him after his performance on Sat!

 

[Troy]

I couldn't find all but from what I can see 14 players off contract at the end of the year.

What has happened to Rod Davies - I know he is back from Injury - but cannot even get a seat on the Bench? For my money he was the equal best Winger in Australian Rugby the Year he played his solitary test... He is too good not to be playing Wing for one of the Five Australian Teams.

He has zero rugby skills, should try sprinting

What has happened to Rod Davies.......

Hamstring injury.

Probably not the best idea with a dodgy string. ;-)

 

[Scotty]

I think they are basically gone.

 

[Scoey]

I think they are basically gone.

Really? What did I miss there? Who picked up the package deal?

 

[suckerforred]

Do I recall that Frisby & Davies were signed for 2 years recently?

This is what really annoys me about Rugby followers in the professional era... smug comments like the above, which pass for informed opinion, when the Queensland Reds, Ewa nMcEnzie, Robbie Deans and the other Wallaby Selectors have all seen fit to put him in both Reds - and Wallaby Colours...

Sideline Warriors just.....(@#$%^&*) I don't even comprehend what delusions go on inside their minds... Australian Rugby certainly does not have the depth to be discounting outside backs lightly. Scoey and Suckerfored, thanks for sensible response.

My generation (at least), grew up to be proud of the blokes who played for the Wallabies, and would have given our right arms to be in their position. Taking Cheap shots from the sidelines was not a part of Rugby Culture back then - it was Mungo Territory.

 

[qwerty51]

Hang on a sec, you've sort of contradicted your own statement, why he was he dropped after 1 Test and barely seen in Red since? I'd say the coaches have realised he's not that good.

I was pretty vocal against Davies selection for the Wallabies, couple here will remember that, I think his performance vindicated that. He's too small and doesn't have anything besides electric pace, he makes too many errors, isn't good in contact and isn't a noted defender or kicker of the ball. One-dimensional and lacking in rugby nous.

Don't worry - or read to much into - what Qwerty has to say. When it comes to anything QLD and especially Quade, he's unable to say anything positive, and seems more intent on trolling..
