I heard Johny Gibbs talking to the two Murrays before the five O'clock news on 2UE. He was asked about the Quade Cooper saga and he said that the ARU want the Union and League contracts finalised before he jumps on the plane tommorrow. Also that the ARU want him to play in the world cup...after he finishes from world cup he will be going to rugby league and Unjion contract will be finished.
Then one of the Murrays asked him ...which club. John Gibbs replied most likely Parramatta.
The Murray then asked him...Is this the oil?
John replied this is the oil!.....but said it would be 850,000 contract when asked how much- (I dont believe the sum will be this high personally)
John Gibbs is usually on the money when he is not speculating. He was pretty sure that this was a done deal and John Gibbs' mail is pretty reliable when he says its a done deal
Personally I think 850,000 is over the top....but probably about 250,000 is through 3rd party deals.
What do you guys think....Is it true as Gibsy seems to think? Is this guy worth this money untested in the NRL? and does it mean 2011 is budget only signings to make way for Quade?
