Rumours coming out over here in Sydney in the news this morning that GI is going to be meeting with the head coach of AFL side Essendon Bombers about an AFL switch.

If we lose Folau and GI to AFL in the same year then there will be a riot in the NRL. Its ridiculous having to lose our best talent because clubs who have the money cant afford to pay them said money.

welcome to communist NRL where the likes of Cronulla see our superstars forced out of the game. Doubt he is going though, Essendon are at their full cap and unless AFL want to put some more egg on Gallop's face I can't see them allowing it.

I thought the AFL'S cap was like union's in France,a complete load of bo11ocks.

not really, they do have the sense to be flexible for the good of the game over the good of a club though.

If you rort it too badly, bad things happen. Ask Carlton - one imagines the lesson was learned...

had to laugh, Issy Folau has become a friend of our WA Reds facebook group, maybe he is keeping tabs for a return after his AFL stint!
