Nickel Clock-Stand says hello. But he takes your point.

Exactly. Amazing recruitment of this bloke. An out and out fullback who was continually selected as a winger by his former club given one RTS. Bevan French says hello.

I don't think he'd fit in our policy even if NRL allowed him to come back in.

Interesting that he was also at the Storms and they also let him go. Sometimes you just can't tell.

I don’t see the problem. FMD he didn’t piss is his own mouth, bash or rape a woman.

For mine he had his contract terminated by the ARU. If he undertakes not to run “hate speech” posts which are contrary to the NRLs values of inclusiveness, then lock him in.

Having said that he would need to play fullback in the NRL side to get his $1m salary.

Brown
Gutho
Folau

Moses out

Would be a nice spine.

Don't see the above happening but would like to see the spine as

Mahoney
Moses
Brown
Gutho
Folau right centre. Jennings left
Sivo and Fergo wings.
That's a top class backline.
Add another top class prop and we could be a serious threat.
I don't know of many top props available but i would be enquiring about Matt Lodge. I think he may get squeezed out of bronx with their dearth of fwds coming through. Definitely an upgrade on what we currently have plus the expectation of a broom through the place at seasons end

Falou for centre would be fine.
Gutherson at centre also fine.
I'm fine with him coming to eels.
It is all fine.

May as well throw the Bank at Semi after the Onion world cup instead of going after Izzay..

You tell him mate!

Izzy would be pretty handy although last time we wanted him the Salary Cap f**kwit knocked it on the head.

If they could sort the politics out, he'd be pretty handy

 

[Snoochies]

If the NRL say he'd hurt the game, I guarantee you he would sell out the first game back and TV ratings would be huge.

From what I've read, it's Peter Beattie shooting his mouth off and now not being able to back down. I will be interested to see how this plays out, especially seeing as the RU have framed this as a contract issue not a freedom of religion issue. I don't see how the NRL can make such a black and white assessment of the situational just yet.

Izzy is the last player we need. Hes a walking headline just like the bloke who now wants to play soccer. Hard to see him providing any leadership other than Religious Leadership. Dont need him, dont want him. Invest in youth. "Development Club"

I’m sure the nrl will be fine with Folau returning with Scum, Rorters, Souffs or Boncos or another of the hard luck clubs

NRL chairman Peter Beattie shuts down potential Israel Folau return
NRL chairman Peter Beattie has cut Israel Folau’s attempted rugby league return off at the pass, proclaiming the former Origin star will not be considered for registration.

NRL chairman Peter Beattie says Israel Folau will not be considered for registration, despite speculation Wednesday morning linking the rugby outcast to a return to the code in which he made his name.

As Folau’s stalemate over with Rugby Australia continues over the player’s controversial social media posts, it’s understood at least one NRL club was interested in sounding out Folau about a return to rugby league.

However, Beattie this morning said that the NRL’s stance had not changed.

“Our position on Israel Folau remains the same,” Beattie said.

“We are an inclusive game with a respect for all. Israel has social media posts online that go against what our game stands for. As it stands, he will not be considered for registration.

“What Israel chooses to do in relation to his social media posts and his faith is a matter for him.”

The Daily Telegraph Wednesday morning reported that Folau could offer unprecedented control over any future religious social media posts to the NRL in a bid to return to the code after losing his $5 million, four year contract with Rugby Australia.

Folau had also promised RA the chance to vet all of his social media posts before he published them in an attempt to save his rugby career, but RA rejected his offer because Folau refused to remove his initial post in April that gay people were destined for hell.

The post was deemed a high-level breach of the professional players’ code of conduct

Folau burst onto the NRL scene as a 17-year-old with the Melbourne Storm, playing two seasons in Victoria before switching to the Brisbane Broncos in 2009-2010.

After eight Tests for Australia and five State of Origin games for Queensland, he was lured to the AFL on a big-money deal with the Greater Western Sydney Giants. He failed to make an impact in the unfamiliar code, however, and switched to rugby union in 2013, where he played 96 games for the Waratahs and was capped 62 times by the Wallabies.

Folau was playing it safe on social media this morning, saying on Instagram: “Don’t forget to thank God for keeping you safe through the night and every time you awake to see a beautiful new day.”
