theres been so many great fo movements in the past, f### off finch and f### off fitzhenry. now with the news that has dawned on us today its time we start tour a new movement, the f### off folau movment. now i know hes just a kid whos maybe been brainwashed and its just a game and hes entitled to his own choices and its not like hes killed anyone , but this whole situation just pisse me off. he signs with brisbane broncos to be closer to his family and then wants to sign with anyone (gws and rebels) who will pay him enough money. he then signs with a code that he has never played with before and leaves the code that developed and nurtured him into what he is today in the lurch, it smacks of greed, and i for one am not down with that.

I really don't care, but if he wants 4.2 million for three years, good on him..

I find most of this amusing as the fumbleball idiots think that Hunt and Folau will cause people in their droves to start supporting fumbleball...

Close to 1.5 million per season would be hard to pass up, particularly when you are playing a sport that has potential to pay more but doesn't due to being part-owned by a media company.


I can't blame him for going, but I can certainly laugh at the sad and desperate AFL for throwing a ridiculous amount of coin at a completely untried player. They are that desperate to take over in NSW and QLD and it's showing.

And League is bigger than these two new fumbleball players, a new dynamic winger and fullback are currently out there playing park footy waiting to be signed....

well with that in mind, theyres no denying that hes greedy
That's rediculous. It would take anyone of us mere seconds to agree to accept such an offer. He hasn't broken any contract so there aren't really any grounds for blaming the kid. He can set himself up for life and it would almost be irresponsible not to accept.

Now start a FO AFL and we'll all be in!

i certainly wouldnt, but then again im not greedy, what really irks me is that all this setting up for life, do they nto expect to work another day in their life once football is finished, eventually this so called treasure chest will wear thin

What the f**k? You sound like one of those people happy to earn 500 a week and not get ahead!
If you worked as car salesman for say 100k a year and someone came to you and said "we will pay you a guaranteed 400k a year for three years to sell toilets"....what would you do.
Some of you people act as if Israel ran over your foot driving a hummer.

This has to be the biggest myth going. Seriously the very top 1% star players are a rare thing. The Kangaroos still haven't been able to put out a better wing pairing than Sailor and Tuiqiri and how many years since they originally left for ruggers? If it was that easy to replace this calibre of player EVERY team would have a Folau in their side.

Don't really care, he's not that good and never really was....I never saw the hype bar jumping and catching a ball solidly.Which I suppose is fitting...

But I don't want him representing Queensland or Australia, he's made his choice...I don't see why the NRL should bend over for him.

Gee dude chill!!

The point being, he will be replaced, the funds available will allow broncs to sign a few juniors or another big name player....

But in time a young player will come through, why allow the actions of Folau to be all gloom and doom??

Does this mean that because Folou has signed we should all now be concerned about the future of our great game and start running scared?

OH NO FOLAU HAS SIGNED WITH A AFL CLUB WHAT SHOULD I DO!
