AFL footy show announced that Folau will announce he is going to quit the Broncos at the end of 2010. His management approached the AFL a few months ago and has done testing with the same people Hunt did. Apparently he has been offered $3mil over 3yrs at Western Sydney AFL team. The AFL will be paying 50-60% of his salary as promotions.
Still undecided as to whether he will accept AFL or RU.
If that is true, and its a big if, Folau will be a damp squid. He has been playing ordinary football and I cannot imagine he will be missed too much. To be honest, since he left the Storm he has become just another player. If the AFL offers him a million dollars it will be money badly spent.
Given the AFL claim they have 700 billion players why do they have to buy players from other codes to get decent players?:lol:
a million bucks to play a game he has never played
how embarrassing for AFL
That was a top segment behind the scenes, loved it.
Also, if this football stuff doesn't work out for burgess he could pick up a job narrating Thomas the tank engine
Really getting sick of gould's "get them back in the comp" attitude.
It's akin to the arguments he and others tried to make when
smith was rightfully suspended for trying to rip thaiday's head off before the 2008 grand final.
They cheated, f**k em. It's not the NRL's job to get the storm out of their own mess. In fact, their job is the exact opposite.
