It was also embarrassing given Folau attracted the most votes from fans when the NRL All-Stars team was being chosen.

"I feel really honoured and humbled to be the player to get the most voted by the fans and I really thank the fans for that and their support," Folau said.

Shame he couldn't give it back.

You'll have to excuse Bulldog Force. He spent all yesterday looking through the Canterbury squad looking for someone who was bred not bought.......

So the Eels have produced all their players right? :sarcasm:

 

[Brutus]

Rugby League has been in western Sydney for a long time but I think Isarel is referring to the mismanagement of league the past decade courtesy of Gallop and the News/NRL.
.

Yeah of course he was :crazy:

 

[sooperdooper]

honestly folau should be stood down for the game...
for bringing the game into disrepute

 

[Serc]

I love it how they claim Folau as a product of Western Syd when it is widely known that he moved to QLD in his early teens and of course is eligible for QLD in SOO. Make your minds up!

 

[El Diablo]

he learnt the game of Rugby League in Sydney, not Queensland

Didn't he live in Sydney until he was 15 or something?

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

He's a Queenslander for sure.

No Blue Blood would ever say such stupid sh*t about the great game in the heartland.

 

[Bulldog Force]

You know many Queenslanders also think that up north they are a Rugby League heartland too - sure, not as big as Sydney, but still, as far as QLD are concerned... NRL >>>>>>>>>>>> AFL

The News/NRL have made no secret of the fact that they want toi cull Sydney teams in favour of areas in Qld and this reflects in the poor spending on jumiors and infrastructure on league out west.
A couple of token fan days out west will not make up for a decade of neglect.
The AFL will build infrastructure and a junior base..something that league has lost interset in for some time.

The last place a team would be culled from is out west numbskull.

Besides, they just built the RL academy out west. It's the only sport that has teams in the top grade from there.

Even if Folau COULD think - that would be a stupid thought to have.

So the Eels have produced all their players right? :sarcasm:

Nope, but we produce most. Unlike some....

 

[Pierced Soul]

he needs a kick up the arse from the broncos and the NRL. it's one thing to speak your mind but to endorse a rival code liek that is ludicrous

even allowing for him coming across as one of the bigger morons out there it still shoudlnt have happened.

on another note, whilst he can jump and run, for some reason i just dont see him having the agility to ponce around like the AFL players do

 

[_Johnsy]

One thing is for sure, he can lift heavy things.

 

[Solid]

He aint smart cause he spent most of his time in school pumping iron and running laps.

 

[Loudstrat]

The Broncos haven't got a good track record with their players turning to other codes - have they!

 

[God-King Dean]

There's no T in Minno.

 

[Cockadoodledoo]

Thats harsh.

Issy is a nice fella and quite innocent, too much so !!

I had a chat with him once after a game and seriously I have met wall plants with more intelligence.

 

[adamkungl]

Well he's either a traitor or one of the biggest f**king simpletons playing in the NRL...

Something fishy going on here.

This article from Foxsports, quotes Israel completely differently to the article listed on the first post of this thread.

This is more like him having sympathy for a weakling that is no threat, and he even supposedly says he would be "worried" if AFL did become bigger than league???

And the video linked on has him sheeplish saying "I hope it goes well for them", like a ex-wife might say about her husband re-marrying.

Whats going on?, what did he really say??
