They don't win the comp without SBW. He was easily their best player and he was awesome that year and it's harder for a forward than a back. Folau will make the switch easy.

I’m not sayin he didn’t contribute, but I’d rather see our coin spread out and buy at least 4-6 quality players then spending the bulk on one player

He'll only cost around 800K. That is how much a quality player costs. Greg Eastwood is on 700-800K right now.

I have no doubt the Roosters have already got the magic calculator out of the locked cupboard.
No way they need to lock up the magic calculator in the cupboard, cause they need it far to often, it is in a brown paper bag in the boot of Polutis's car, with the other stuff.

Izzy is 30 next year.... no one will pay top dollar for a 30yr old who hasn’t played league in around 9yrs

The Rugby Union World Cup is a year or so away, cannot see Israel (or $BW) doing anything else at all

He would have zero incentive to leave union. Even if he was tapped on the shoulder by the Walabies to say he's no longer required, the coin in French or Jap rugby would be more than an NRL club would pay him, and, TBH, he has always been about the coin.

Rugby union World Cup next year, he ain’t gonna leave Rugby. Folau is just pushing up his price to get as much as possible out the ARU.
Agree. Lol love how this post comes around every couple years. Izzy's agent just keeps pulling out the same tricks to bump that contract.

he's currently the highest paid player in the wallabies side, no NRL team is going to match the coin he is on
