I would have loved to read his autobiography, but this is the best I will get I suppose.Mate, so glad you posted this. I remember read ing that mag from cover to cover and admired the man for many years. He even had a friendly jibe at cement Gillespie for being a tight ass
Folkes doesn't need a 4 page lift out in the DT to validate his life.I am very disappointed in the Daily Telegraph & Sydney Morning Herald for their poultry coverage of the great man. They complain about low readership & all they had to do was a 4-page lift-out & alert fans on social media outlets. 1 page each is pretty poor. They do not understand their readership.
I bet if something negative happened about the Bulldogs they would have pages upon pages of coverage (especially DT).
He played & coached around 550 games in Australia (let alone the games in the UK) + 31 games in cup competitions (pre-season & mid-week) over more than 40 years.
He deserved better.
No, but it's the respect he deservesFolkes doesn't need a 4 page lift out in the DT to validate his life.
TBH who gives a shit about DT.No, but it's the respect he deserves

FOX League will pay tribute to the former Canterbury legend with a special broadcast on Wednesday night.
Following the sudden passing of one of Rugby League’s great players and coaches, FOX League will broadcast some of Folkes’ biggest triumphs to celebrate his contribution to the game.
From 6.30pm on channel 502, fans can relive Folkes’ 1980 and 1988 Grand Final victories as well as Game 3 of the 1986 State of Origin series which saw NSW claim their first ever 3-0 Origin whitewash.
Also airing is the 2004 Grand Final, where as head coach, Folkes led the Bulldogs to Premiership glory, the same year he was awarded the Dally M Coach of the Year.
You missed the point - don't worry about it.TBH who gives a shit about DT.
Whats the difference between 1 or 4 pages? The point being made is dumb. Everyone here talks shit about the DT because of the way they treat(ed) our club yet we cry foul because we didn't get a 4 page tribute?You missed the point - don't worry about it.
