Good to hear Politis is officially in the market for the Wallabies halfback. He loves the Reds style of play, keen observer that he is.
Anyone can see that what we need's another half.
It's either that or a few more second rowers. Can't have too many second rowers.
A tough as fcuk metre-eating prop? Forget about it.
Things are looking up.
"Roosters fan Cooper could become the tricolours' No.1 priority
QUADE COOPER's declaration that he has a soft spot for the Roosters and is a big Brad Fittler fan should have the ARU very nervous. Cooper has a contract with the ARU until the end of next year. He is managed by Khoder Nasser. He has an agreement in place with the Nine Network, which is run by David Gyngell - a mad Roosters supporter. The Roosters are well equipped at five-eighth - even Cooper thinks Todd Carney is a gun. "That jumper is pretty well filled at the Roosters," he said. But Cooper may be the ideal man to replace Anthony Minichiello, who is under contract for one more season at the club, at fullback . Minichiello's agent David Riolo says he has opportunities for the star fullback in European rugby, but he is likely to have at least one more year here. And here is the really interesting part of the story - Roosters chairman Nick Politis has suddenly found himself watching Reds games - as well as his beloved Roosters. Nasser is said to have the utmost respect for Politis. He likes his style and how he backs his players through tough times. Nasser has little respect for most of the other club bosses, so that will give the Roosters a big in when it's time to chat. It's a long time away, but post World Cup get set for a year of guessing where Cooper will end up.
