JOC will most probably not make his intentions known that he is leaving till after the last home game.
Reasons are
1) He knows how passionate the supportters are and is scared they may turn on him at the park. He has listened to all the bad refs calls and seen the refs escorted from the field by security
2) He knows the drainage at NIB stadium is not good and all the JOC supportters ( not many but just a feww ) might cry to much and flood the playing surface and make it to wet and his pink booties might get wet
3) He does not want his realestate agent to know that he wont be renewing the lease
4)Maybe he was waiting for the lads in the NZ touring team to fail and his price could have gone up ( fat chance after last friday s performance )
5) Last but not least JON is trying to wriggle out of paying him to much so he can keep his pay rise.
He is only another player and if he did not have 14 others he would not be playing rugby so wether he stays or goes the force will always be here
Go the force come Chucky and Swannie show your might I am with you and ya 13 mates to beat the highlanders
This is said in all good humour and to lighten up the posts
Great work Tonk
Swannie and Chuck will get the business done.
Blonde midgets with $500 haircuts are a dime a dozen

need to run a book on where he will go !!! make some quick vCash!
Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
Well said, probably accurate too. If he moves East, who will cut his hair?
Hasta la vista Pam
I will stand on my ego and say he won't go to the Brumbies. He wants money and silverware..........none of which he will find in Canberra............and the weather is shite and the place is full of gimps.......or did I mention that already?
Controversy corner
...and If he stays?
I'd be happy, and you?
Controversy corner
Bloody happier than if he left.
It's agreed
The bloke is too good and too smart to go to the Rabbles or laminitic ponies.........right?
Controversy corner
With their player turn-over, I doubt the Rabbles will be playing better rugby than us next year.
The Brumbies appear to be losing most of their stars and will be re-building.
The Tahs struggle to play anything other than dull (but occassionally effective) rugby.
Do the Reds want a 10-12 combination of Cooper & JO'C? Certainly exciting, and Cooper's defense is improving, but with such a light 10 & 12, they'd see a lot of counter-attacking down those channels.
Is there really such a choice?
Couldn't you just say lame? It covers a wider range of indications and causes, and is much easier for us dummies to understand. Wikipedia is far too technical on the subject.
I doubt overworking is a likely cause in theis case. They seem more likely to have Wobbler Disease.

Very good point about the Reds, they don't need a small 12 next to Cooper. A.Faingga and Harris are doing a good job. For the Reds JOC would be a nice to have but not an important addition. Pony club needs a 12 and has the cash. As for fitting in, Canberra is a great place to play rugby and learn from champion coaching team... Its 1 hour to the south coast surf beaches, 1 hour to the NSW snowfields, a few hours to Sydney driving up the freeway and direct flights to the Gold coast daily. Even direct flights to Queenstown NZ. It has the best universities if he wants to study. The Australian Institute of Sport for related sports studies. It doesn’t have the big city distraction of Sydney and its NOT full of bogans or violence or the press following him around waiting for him to screw up.. Its more of a college town. Good restaurants, wineries, cafes, arts and music scene, with plenty of public museums and libraries thrown in.
The reality is during the season these guys are on the road for 7 weeks and home for about the same. Brumbies preseason is held down the south coast or in the snowy mountains, climbing and mountain biking. The rest of the year he would be travelling with the Wallabies anyway. Not such a bad place to be...![]()
Bullshit Mud. Unless you are flying a helicopter. Given your penchant for starting with a desired outcome and working back from there, it's about par for the course. But this is one of your better porkies.
Given that, despite living in WA for 32 years I've probably spent more time driving both of those roads than you, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.![]()
