Aussie Player Exodus

As good as he is in League, he might be good in union, he might not. At his age surely our dollars are better spent on bringing through some 10s in union, try to stop the flood going off shore etc.

I don’t think anyone is suggesting a super rugby side/RA sign him but that he could be a target for a French club. Be closer to he European based girlfriend

I think he's going to be a one Club legend in that sport which will carry him for the rest of his life. He's 27 and is a legitimate chance at retiring as all time leading point scorer, half a dozen prems, half a dozen SOOs and a couple WCs.

The biggest opportunity for a move will come when Ivan decides he's had enough IMO.

I get Rugby can quickly improve with a few talented guys, especially when we are lacking in positions these hypothetical players would plug into but having watched some of the performances of guys 22 and under in the last few years I'd rather spend it on keeping 10-15 of these guys and backing that 3-4 become world class players that win Tests for the Wallabies for the next decade and improve the status of the game to a point it becomes an employer of choice again.

A different sort of exodus - and not really one which impacts us currently but still interesting.

Good on him... have a crack mate. I never liked him as Tah coach and the Wallabies he stuck around too long. But his time on Stan, and the knowledge he has is great. He will be great in the NRL, and hopefully comes back to Rugby after.

Hope they get him back on STAN/9

He's a good cross over personality.

RL community like him because he likes the sport but know him as a Rugby guy. It can only help Rugby for his loud voice to be out there IMO.
