Israel Folau is off contract and is meeting Todd Greenberg about returning to the NRL

[Real1]

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

I dont trust the money hungry mercenary he constantly floats this in the media to get rugby to up his price ,the league should publicly say we aren’t interested

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

Didnt someone say SBW is coming back to the Roosters this year around finals time?

What a team that will be next year
Teddy, Coops, Izzy, Sunny and 100% Angus

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.

Have we forgotten the term Bred not bought.

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

 

[ElMagicElMasri]

Imagine leaving the Wallabies to vs Penrith at 6pm on a Friday in front of 10k lol - keep dreaming

 

[CroydonDog]

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.

 

[fiordog]

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.

 

[no1bulldog]

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

 

[KiwiDog7]

Roosters have a spare 9mil

 

[maroondog72]

Izzys management knows what buttons to push to get top dollar we are zero chance
