Izzy happy? NRL clubs keeping an eye on Folau

I can understand League fans are harsh on Hunt and Folau, but honestly, how can you blame them for taking offers like that? Folau said it himself, how can you turn down that much money? If you were in their position I can understand that most of you would have taken the money too.

Still, it's his own bloody fault, and Hunt's, that they fail. Good work AFL, you signed two players on big bucks who are absolutely useless in your code, and will just create more schisms that see people laughing at you and your code.

No doubt if Folau wants to come back the Eels would be very interested, they signed his younger brother (for example) and are missing a quality outside back. But then, a whole host of other teams would be interested too! Knights, Titans, Broncos, Storm (maybe), etc.

Most of the things ive read and seen is moreso that they are laughing at league and they think that they are poor athletes because they cant play their rubbish game. The AFL arrogance is enormous.

he said it wasn't about the money

People will assume it is all about the money, but there's something in what he says that makes you think that it is also about the challenge. "That (money) was one of the factors, but what stood out for me was the opportunity to come to a new club and help the community around here and even make a pathway to help Polynesian kids as well."

x 3.

I don't want the pricks back in Rugby League.
You made the choice (Hunt & Folau) you live with it.

Agreed F**K him

I agree, but if the NRL said this it would be illegal and go straight to court.

But there's nothing stopping each of the 16 NRL clubs all doing a handshake agreement to not sign these Judases. I just wish one of the CEO's can come up with this idea at the next meeting and the CEO's had backbone and stick to their guns for the game's sake instead of thinking of their own teams.

It's a pretty expensive laugh they're having :lol:

Would be friggin hilarious if Parra or Penrith managed to sign him up if things aren't working out so well for him this year. Then he really would be the biggest signing in Western Sydney.

Parra got a bit of dosh to spend don't they?

Only the Bulldogs could fit him under their cap.

If the AFL w*nkers think its funny watching Folau and Hunt play their game, how about we get FuiFui MoiMoi to run straight and hard at Gary Abblett or someone, then see who is the joke. Tackling is suppose to be apart of their game too, fumbling and bumbling is not part of our game (unless you're Ferguson and Orford of coarse ;-)).

Izzy comes across as a slow dipsh*t who can barely string 4 words together. cutie is of a similiar disposition. All I can say is karma is a bitch - they are both going for the money and they should just admit it rather than say they are doing for the challenge etc.

I agree with the previous posters - the CEO of ALL clubs should not even attempt to lure them back to the greatest game of all. After all these f**kers left the NRL and in the malaise that followed allowed the Suns and the GSW franchises too much media play

They should not be allowed back in the NRL.

i would love to have him back in the game with whichever club. i hope we have a crack at him if he gets released from the AFL. people make mistakes, but it's not like he chucked a SBW and did the runner on his contract or anything.

hell, i'd even welcome SBW back. there is no such thing as too many superstars in the game.

Find it hilarious that its ok for certain players to f**k off to other codes but not others. Unlike the fools, I'm not a hypocrite. I'd have anyone back who is good enough.

what a hypocrite.

Gasnier?????????

Gasnier played French union.

Bit different to two blokes paid big bucks to basically help give two new fumbleball franchises in RL heartland areas a profile. They are also being actively used to steer kids from RL to AFL.

You support Souths. You'd accept anyone into your rabble.
