Israel Folau would likely play centre, not wing. That is where he played for Brisbane.

He would greatly exceeed the performance of George Carmont in that position, and make Wigan a powerhouse once again.

If Hock leaves for Parramatta in 2014 then Ian Lenagan will have more space under the salary cap for Israel Folau.

There's space......and then there's SPACE.

RL in Europe can't compete with the French RU euros on offer.....Izzy will chase cash.

As for Wigan being a 'powerhouse" again, I suspect they can do that without an injury prone player who believes his own press.

Google his name.......every hit is an australian website other than wiki.....he's a household name in 2 australian states....nothing more, nothing less and a smart businessman like IL won't waste cash on the little mercenary.

You think any SL club can afford to use 40% of their salary cap on one player?

A sl club would have to offer a third of their cap!

He's a money whore, I dom't blame him for that just the way he pretends he isn't.

Remember how he behaved during origin and the end of season internationals?

There's no way the Waratahs have a million a season to spend on a guy who will take at least a year to make the side.
This is just Folau's manager trying to talk up his worth.
League should walk away.

I certainly don't blame the NRL for not landing him back.

Its a bit of mercenary attitude just looking for the highest bidder all the time not where you will also play or do your best.

Not before too long the next superstar young person will come along in the NRL and it will be a case of Israel who??? and its not as if the
NRL is short of existing top talent anyway.

6 month deal to get battered about an ru field then over to France.

Signed for Warratahs.

If you want to discuss it further go to other sports.
