ANY NRL coach will tell you that in the modern game you just can't pay $600,000-plus a season for a centre or a winger.
They simply don't touch the ball enough to justify taking up the biggest chunk of a club's salary cap.
Think Michael Jennings at Penrith and the fact the Panthers have struggled to offload their superstar centre to another club - or remember back to the complaints Souths fans had about Greg Inglis before Michael Maguire saw sense and moved his main man to fullback.
Which brings us to Israel Folau and what Ricky Stuart could be thinking as he crosses his fingers and toes and hopes for Folau's arrival at Parramatta.
Will Folau's return open the way for Stuart to do what he has been talking about for two years and make Jarryd Hayne a permanent five-eighth, which in turn opens the door for Folau to play fullback?

I think he would make a fantastic Fullback. |

Why spend through the nose for a player thats only interested in money? The nrl has no shortage of stars. No big drama.

I assume this is Leeds fault for not spending half their salary cap on him?

In fairness it's very nice grass. |

Well the NRL really struggled without him. Apart from the huge new sponsorship deal and ever improving viewing and attendance figures, but putting those minor things aside, yes they should crawl over broken glass and throw whatever vast sum of money it takes at this player who has always selflessly had the best interests of the game at heart.

They allegedly offered him $3mill over 4 years! For a winger that's been out of the game for two years? Eels dodged a bullet IMO. Clearly he was lining up a union deal and the NRL delay over salary cap issue had little part to play. I'd be very surprised if his agent didn't have the French offer in his pocket the day izzy asked for a release from gws.

Dodged a bullet, Falou has 'done a Gasnier', if he'd come back to NRL he'd have done nothing. Injuries were getting on top of him at Brisbane and he struggled by all accounts playing Aussie rules, so he hasn't played more than 20 games of NRL since 2008.
Bullet dodged, move on.
