Good news for aussie rugby - Folau has re-signed today with ARU and Tahs.
Now to get him to fullback or centres so he can get some ball...............
Folau re-signs with ARU till 2015

Yes indeed Redsman, congrats. Good thing for all rugby - looking forward to see how far he comes, he still has a lot to learn.

Id like to see him maybe have a crack @ 12 & JOC to 15 - definitely good for the sport agreed.
Anyway I just hope he gets more than a few touches v Bok next week

thats great new for all rugby but especially the wallys and my fanatsy teams, lolz.
fullback is his best position, waratahs skills coach said it best, u dont even contemplate him missing any hgihballs as that was a strong skill set for him already which was finely polished in his short time with the AFL.
no reason why cant make it in the centers both 12/13, but fullback IMO is where he has the most potential to be killer, especially with that deadly right foot step.
he has also been very guilty of going missing his last 4 tests (though he was injured in the last lions test), but thats cos hes still a union newbie, come the RWC he could be the most dangerous player on the planet.
NRL wont be too happy, folau and SBW are the top two most wanted signatures for the 2014 season and thats one name gone already, as well as benji marhsalls depature.
NRL may not want to admit it, but marhsalls exist to union hurt and with folau commititng with the ARU, thats a stiff jab and hard body blow that union gave the NRL, SBWs depature will be the knock out blow.

Not often we agree Sus - but agree with all your comments
Folau has the makings of the keyman for aussie rugby - @15 probably the best for him as under the high ball he is fearless... His ex-AFL coach made the comment that he had one of the highest vertical leaps he'd ever seen on any (AFL) player and that says lots...
re the whole leaguey debate - as long as refs keep over-complicating and confounding even Rugby viewers in this country I think RL bogans will continue to support that code....
But imagine getting Greg Inglis in Gold.....
