On This Day

2010

Wallaby star Quade Cooper rejects an off from Parramatta to stay in rugby union for another season so he can play for the Wallabies at the 2011 World Cup.

 

I personally don’t remember this, were we actually that close to signing him?

A pivot issue could be how the court see our 'alleged rejection'…"
