    Disappointing from a QLD fan's perspective, but couldn't really give a shit from a Broncos fan's perspective.

    Ditto. But if we lose Antonio also it might be a big loss.

    Nothing is confirmed but they're expecting an announcement tomorrow.

    He is going to fail miserably. He will have to be the fullback and still struggle.

    ISRAEL Folau has decided to walk out on rugby league and will sign a $1 million-a-season contract with the Greater Western Sydney AFL team by week's end.

    The Daily Telegraph can reveal Folau has privately agreed to terms with the AFL's newest franchise - and he has even stated he is keen to play at full-forward.

    "The deal with GWS will be done by the end of the week," a highly placed source confirmed last night.

    Folau's decision will come as a massive blow to the NRL and will give the new GWS franchise a huge boost in terms of its profile in the Sydney market.

    Queensland officials will now have to wrestle with the merits of playing Folau in Origin II.

    The Melbourne Rebels were officially ruled out of the race for one of league's hottest talents last Friday.

    Folau, 21, grew up at Minto in western Sydney and will quickly settle back into the area with family when he starts the new mega-rich contract, worth $3 million over three years.

    Fullback? Wtf? He'd have to be a Full Forward, surely.

    I think he would be strong to have at the back cleaning up in defence. He will probably be used up forward but meh.

    Only if he can kick straight. Putting him at fullback makes sense because he just has to follow a man, run hard, hit hard and kick the **** out of it. I'd probably start him in the back pocket tbh.

    Meh. Time for everyone to become true Beale-ievers.

    There's pressure on kicking accurately at the back though becuase he could **** up and gift the opposition a goal.

    Don't really care. He's an effective player but he actually makes the game a worse spectacle IMO.

    I Beale-ive he's pretty "Mitch Rivett".

    Anyway, I'm confident that I can kick better than Folau. The dumb coconut will be back in league in 3 yrs.

    Some might say that he's rivetting.

    Broncos management should be looking at themselves to blame too - "Let all dem players go and try to re-sign Hunt and sign Folau".

    Gagai will be Broncos new back next season. Or Gillett might move there.
