I too will miss him. I think he and his gf will miss the UK and London. Especially the golf. I have a feeling that he has been sold a pup by Cheika. He said Kurtley would be more likely to get a place in the Wallabies side in 2017 thru to 2019. He has been told to push and work towards the 12 shirt. Not the 15 shirt. That suits Kurtley. Whilst he was best for us at 15, at heart he wants to be a 12. But I think he will struggle against the competition from younger, better players. At best he is only 3rd choice for that shirt.
But, he has signed up for the Internationals this year, IF he gets picked, followed by next Year's Super Rugby league. The Waratahs have had a truly awful year this year, and Kurtley was not fit enough to play at the seasons end this year. Financially, they will struggle to pay him. I wonder if he only gets paid by the national team if he gets picked? He could easily find himself kicking his heels for months, and getting paid a pittance (relatively speaking). If the Waratahs don't lift their game next year, he will be having a miserable time playing for them as well. And he signed up for two years. It seems likely that Dai has said he would be welcome to come back, and Kurtley is on record as saying he wants to. But Dai won't pay him a lot. Probably no more than £200k, because he will be older ...
