Australian Rugby Union boss John O'Neill is adamant he won't pay "crazy money" for Quade Cooper, but remains confident the star five-eighth will stay with the 15-man game.
The stakes were raised in the battle for Cooper's services when his manager Richard Colreavy met NRL officials on Monday in the wake of interest from league clubs Parramatta and Newcastle.
The 22-year-old has reportedly been offered $500,000 a year to join the Eels, while the ARU have tabled a guaranteed $350,000 plus match payments which could take his earnings to $600,000 a season.

Quade is NOT coming to the eels and thats final.
Its all engineered to increase his deal with the ARU. He has already told people that although he was tempted to go the eels, he wants to stay in Rugby.
The world cup and his friendship with Mc Kenzie (reds coach) has convinced him to stay.
The rest my friends is just white noise.
Is that if the eels do snare Cooper is what sort of future pressure in regards to the Salary cap is this going to place on the eels side?
