That could very well be @KOS1987

Grand move for him

Nice way to round it off.

The Aussies always liked him.

Who will look after Dave now?

Yep it’s like when Zlatan moved to serie A for one last payday.

I doubt he’s getting a big pay day over in Australia given their rugby finances. I’m sure he could have got a club in France that would have paid him double or triple what he’d get over in Oz.

Does that whopper tax break for sports people still exist here if they finish their career here?

I think the terms of it changed. They don’t have to finish the career here.

Calculating the relief
You may claim a deduction of 40% of certain income arising in any 10 of the following years:
• your year of retirement
• the preceding 14 years of assessment.

He has to come back here and be resident to claim the relief

Good on him.

Fair dinkum.

The Force are backed by a billionaire so would have a few quid. Probably not huge money but decent all the same.

Can’t see him being suited to super rugby. They’d nearly play him as a 12 or something. He could play away for years in France the way the game is going.

You could be a winger in the top 14 these days and not touch a ball for 2 weeks. They are obsessed with scrummaging and grunt.

Sure it’s payback for all the advantages his Gaelic Football skills gave him in his rugby career.
