Only took about 12 hours for bulldog to be proven wrong about the Waratahs
In what sense?

Nah he'll be playing in the A-League in 2014. Who knows what the following year, maybe play in the Pennants for Toongabbie Bowling Club.

Dean Ritchie said:And you can all but rest assured we won't be seeing him playing in Waratahs colours next season.
Their salary cap is stretched and they'd have to rely on a top-up from the Australian Rugby Union, which now more than ever, is hard to imagine.

Ta. I can't find any source that says he's definitely signed for them...maybe I'm missing something.
No doubt. No official announcement yet, that's for sure.
Nothing wrong with a bit of scuttlebuck though.

They are wary of signing him http://www.sportal.com.au/rugby-union-news-display/tahs-table-folau-offer-with-caution-212064
What's the problem Barry?
Why so skeptical?
It's not like the papers have announced his career future and been wrong about it within the last month.

That's right. Though nothing would surprise me too much at this stage. Maybe he has simply signed for Wenty instead of the Eels. Maybe he wants to open and run his own laundrette.
Inside Rugby ‏@InsideRugbyOz Waratahs call press conference for tomorrow morning. Israel Folau expected to be unveiled as their latest signing.
7 news that I$rael reckons he was offered $250k to play
Looks like he and his management have gone into damage control and will try to make him look like the victim and not the money hungry untrustworthy grub that he is

Israel FolauVerified ‏@IzzyFolau
@ajhoops7 You didn't see me come out and say I'll be playing at parra!
Aaron Hooper ‏@ajhoops7
@IzzyFolau I know that, that's fair enough mate. I can see your side there. But surely there must've been some interest on your behalf??
Israel FolauVerified ‏@IzzyFolau
@ajhoops7 Made it clear that all options were open for me! RL/Union.
Israel FolauVerified ‏@IzzyFolau
@moniquefolau Yeah thanks!!
Aaron Hooper ‏@ajhoops7
@IzzyFolau Ps no player ever comes out and says where they're going to sign. But they are expected to do things with integrity & honour..
Israel FolauVerified ‏@IzzyFolau
@ajhoops7 yeah of course. But how would you know what went on through negotiations. You only read what's in the media!
