Carr was right.
The publicity raised is not necessarily a bad thing for rugby league either, I doubt the ARL will be too worried. It highlights the repercussions you should expect to face if you agree to become a mercenary for the AFL. Folau is being publically humiliated and outcast - something that should happen to every traitor, and should have happened to Folau months earlier. It's doubtful any of this so-called free marketing will work anyway, as Folau's Tongan compadre Michael Jennings has already attested.

"repercussions " ???

you mean suffer like sailor and lote...

Sailor kicked out due to taking white powder... and Lote kicked out for misbehaving !!

Both were chased by many nrl clubs and Lote is now playing for Kangaroos....

yeah right both of these defectors really suffered

Isarel will grab his money in AFL be set for life and come back to nrl and play for australia ...

The AFL set the trap with Folau and the nrl walked right into it....

They already recouped their investment in him already.

:lol:

FMD you're stupid

the NRL have not said a word

the only place this has got a mention is in the DT

no ther news service has shown any interest in the story

How many Origins and Tests did Wendell and Mat Rogers play upon their return to RL?

How many Origins has Lote played since returning?

They will never be banned from playing rep footy in league again, but they drop well down the list as they should.

Had Jarryd Hayne not been injured (not forgetting Inglis, Hodges, Jennings and Lyon) there would be no Lote in the current Kangaroos squad.

Anyway go enjoy Folau while you've got him in your hyped up little game. Maybe he can make the All-Australian team or something :lol::lol::lol:

Bottom line is; nobody in Sydney cares about the Folau situation. Only you and the Telegraph.

Well he was eligible. it no different then the Vidot or Costigan situation.

It would be no different then a person being the face of Pepsi but signing to go to coke. Pepsi wouldn't let them go to another function

if it was a charity... pepsi wouldnt ban that person as the negative

publicity would be bad for pepsi....

a) NRL =/= ARL
b) How exactly have they recouped anything? He’s getting paid 6 million or something ridiculous.
All this talk of them making it back in publicity stories is just a way to make it look like they have haven’t flushed 10+ million down the drain on TWO PLAYERS who’ve never touched a little red AFL ball before. Hunt was forgotten by the general public as soon as he left the Broncos, Folau will be the same.
Carr might not be the smartest guy in the ARL but at least he doesn’t waste money like that.

i take it you didnt watch many nrl games this year? lote is quicker than ever, he might not be the same player but his speed has certainly improved!

Putting a dollar value on 'publicity' sounds like a crock of sh*t to me. I'm happy with telling Folau to f**k off to queerball.

Courier Mail had this story as the back page feature. The Herald Sun had it earlier in the week.

It was in every major paper in Australia.

Carr is a twat.

Folau has mentioned that his family are pressuring him to turn his back on the game for good. He said being left out of the Grand Final parade of players leaving hurt him the most.

So I guess the low profile of Rugby awaits after he fails at being an AFL player.

I would love to be the first to tell him to not let the door hit him on the way out.

Haven't read the whole thread, but I agree that it is petty.

Don't see what the threat of him running the water for Tonga is. Is the administration run by schoolgirls?

Meth, can't you see that obviously all the kids in the stands are going to want to imitate the Tongan waterboy and will run off to sign for AFL once the game is over???
