Reds willing to let Quade Cooper leave

Brad Thorn says the Queensland Reds wouldn't stand in Quade Cooper's way if more interstate offers come for the unwanted Super Rugby star.

Cooper has reportedly rejected offers form both the Brumbies and Melbourne Rebels and is determined to work his way back into the Reds team. That's despite Thorn's hardline stance that the 30-year-old isn't part of his plans and won't be getting a look in anytime soon.

The Reds are keen to offload Cooper, who is contracted to the end of 2019 and are reportedly mulling over a possible swoop for Wallabies superstar Israel Folau.

"If there was an opportunity for Quade at another Super Rugby club, we wouldn't stand in his way," Thorn said in a one-line statement.

Cooper's long-time halfback partner Will Genia made a renewed pitch for him to come to the Rebels on Wednesday, saying he would "absolutely love" it to happen.
