Good decision, will be great to see him back where he should be, playing in the NRL and hopefully for Queensland and Australia too. Massive waste of time and money switching to AFL in the first place IMO. He was quoted in the article that cennal05 posted the link to saying the Rugby Union is an option, hopefully not, I want to see him back playing League.

Latest rumour (from 3AW) is that he's off to South Sydney

Inglis at fullback and Folau on a wing in full flight will take some stopping.

Awesome League player versus mediocre Aussie rules player.


416* players played AFL in 2012, Champion Data ranked all players in order from 1-416.

Champion Data ranked Izzy at 415. :lol:

*Played 10 games or more.

Only 22-year-old Richmond small utility Addam Maric finished the home and away season with a lower Champion Data ranking points average in 2012 - and he earned roughly seven per cent of Folau's $6 million, four-year-deal.

I'm sick of everything revolving around what champion data says :roll:

FWIW i do agree Folau was awful, just sick of hearing everything being justified because of champion data - it's like the advertiser referencing twitter in most their reports :roll:
