They should offer robbie 'killing aust rugby on behalf on nz as I'm a kiwi with the longest middle name' deans (the coach) the same incentive based contract as they did cooper.
Except his family would starve.

Quade Cooper is set to announce on Friday that he is staying in Australian rugby union after accepting a revised two-year deal from the ARU.
The deal is believed to be similar to the $800,000 offer the ARU took off the table following his public criticism of the game and the atmosphere in the Wallabies camp.

(or don't read more - I mean the smh put that in here all by itself. I, on the other hand are happy if you exercise your democratic right [Unless you're from Qld where democracy has apparently died] to read or not to read. That tis be the question!)

Seems he's staying with the Reds and ARU.
But though Quade can be off the field a bit of a fool, he is a genius on the field. His problem is that he is unorthodox in is style and many coaches just dont know how to handle that. I seem to recall one C. Lyons going through similar criticism. One radio commentator gave him a serve every week for a while. But these unorthodox geniuses need a coach who understands their way of playing, and organises their game around them. Manly achieved it and won premierships. The Reds did it and won the 15s in 2010 and will threaten again next year. But the rep coaches never seem able to utilise these players effectively. This is why Cliff Lyons never become the true international star of the game he should have and why Quade Cooper had similar problems in the World Cup. With the right coach Cooper could be a world beater.

lol. But I am inclined to agree with Bearfax on this one, Cliffy was roundly criticised far & wide for years before his unique talent was recognised.I don't know if Cooper is anywhere near that class but I did watch a couple of his matches a couple of years ago and he does things no other player can do. I hope he reaches his potential as players like that don't pop up too often.
