    Folau to Rugby Union

    SMH are reporting that Israel Folau has turned down an offer from the Eels in favour of a higher offer from Union but they are not saying which club. Hope it's not us Probably a Japanese club

    Waratahs only club who could afford him. They have one spot left on there list which was touted to be going to BOD but Issy would be a good fit for then.

    Sounds like another ruse to "persuade" the NRL/Eels to reconsider their offer..

    I would seriously doubt the tahds could fit Izzy in the salary cap. Overseas or the Blues I reckon.

    News over here said he was going north. No NRL or super team can afford him at the moment

    indeed, and the Salary Cap inspector needs to look into this, players must be paid according to their worth or its rorting the system. Even tho hes a mungo, hes a Kangaroo level mungo. Not a rookie $100k contract. Hes in the same league (scuze the pun) as Rogers Tuqiri and Dell.

    Typical cheating Tahs.

    i'm enjoying thinking it's because that tah's dont actually have many players in their squad worth enough to come close to the salary cap.
    they must have put them all on performance based contracts for the 2012 season

    although the ARU will not be topping him up, don't they still have to approve the contract before any public statements? Oh thats right, its the Tahs.
