THE financial muscle of Melbourne Rebels may help the Super Rugby new boys lure two of the brightest stars in Australia, Kurtley Beale and James O'Connor, to the Victorian capital.
The two are believed to be seriously considering offers from the Rebels.
It is understood the Rebels are also chasing Wallabies and Queensland Reds playmaker Quade Cooper, which would give them the "three amigos" of Australian rugby, but there is no suggestion at present that he is considering leaving Brisbane.
The lucrative third-party endorsements offered by the Melbourne business community could prove the difference with Beale and O'Connor.
