WILL Genia has arrived home in Brisbane with high hopes that all complications can be cleared so he can reignite his Reds career next season.

The champion halfback’s optimism should excite Queensland fans.

“I wouldn’t be wanting to come back to the Reds if I didn’t think it was possible,” Genia said.

After being a key factor in Stade Francais winning the European Challenge Cup, the French club won’t obstruct his exit with a year to run on his contract.

What compensation is paid to Stade Francais and even English club Bath, which voided a contract to release Genia to France, will be part of any negotiation.

Having Nick Frisby, James Tuttle and Moses Sorovi on the books as halfbacks is the traffic jam for the Reds, who would have to do some juggling to resign the 75-Test ace.

Wallabies boss Michael Cheika said this week he’d be delighted for Genia to play in Australia next year but “we’ve got to jump through a few hoops.”

“It’s nice when the boss wants you back,” Genia said.

“Not everyone is privy to my situation in Europe and it’s not impossible.

“It’s not a case of the Reds not wanting me because I understand it’s tough on them for this to come up mid-year when they have allocated resources elsewhere.

“I want to be here and try to make that work because I won’t play against Queensland which means I would go back to Europe.”

Whether Genia returns really rests with the Australian Rugby Union putting up the money to buy out the European loose ends.

Genia is fit for Test action against Fiji on June 10 in Melbourne.
