Falou could be a Rooster next yr: Telecrap

[Guest]

While we're on this signing spree (which I would support wholeheartedly)... if Penrith let go of Jennings, I'd snap him up too, and importantly, local junior James Tamou needs to be high up at the top of our shopping list too...

Now let's look at this team:

1. Anthony Minichiello (with RTS as understudy)
2. Israel Folau
3. Michael Jennings
4. Shaun Kenny-Dowall
5. Joesph Leilua
6. James Maloney
7. Mitchell Pearce
13. Sonny Bill Williams (playing as a wide-running back-rower)
12. Mitchell Aubusson
11. Boyd Cordner
10. James Tamou
9. Jake Friend
8. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves

Bench:

14. Mose Masoe
15. Lama Tasi
16. Martin Kennedy
17. Tau Tau Moga
18. Tom Symonds

(One to be omitted).

Geez, shades of the decade of excellence in that line-up... I got goosebumps thinking about that side running on to the SFS on a sunny winter Sunday afternoon in 2013...

Maybe if we hired the same accountant as the Bullscum we'd could field that team otherwise it's back to Smithys youth policy.

[Geohood]

since when did Moga say he wanted out?, there are plenty of rumours out there about the Roosters but that is not one I have heard.

you can forget Folau, we don't have the salary cap room if we get SBW, we have a serious case of overpaying for our young potential stars that have re-signed over the last 18 months.

A couple of people of random people in another thread here.

Here you go:

Search a little deaper and you will find the truth.He is oyer it.Smith texting calling at all hours these guys are nrl players not school kids.I cant blame them for wanting to leave.Just hope in does not scare SBW off.Ask around the club everybody knows about Moga it is out in the open.

Anyone in the know that wants to either confirm or debunk this?

This guy from the Telecrap reminds me of that idiot Rothfield.
Great another person who writes columns exactly like Rothfield.
Ill nickname him Rothfield jr because of his similaralities

We do not have the Bullrorts salary cap.
Btw Jennings is inconsistent and Folau has been away for a while and SBW does his magic in the centrescand plays in that position at the All Blacks. Moga on wing instead of Fooau SBW centre. Tamou is on-contract until end of 2014. Put Kennedy over Tamou as he is unavailable. Evans on bench. Cordner to lock. Guerra second row. Replace Symonds with Taka. With my expertise the bench should be Evans, Taka, Tasi, Bosden. Masoe as backup. Chuck Norris backup 5/8

Why is it hilarious to mention Folau playing fullback? Folau is very similar to Inglis, big, strong, fast, class as he was playing for QLD and Australia right up until he left for gAyFL. There is non better than Folau under the high ball! I agree with you that if you pay him significant money you don't want him out on the wing where he may get bugger all ball to justify his larger salary. It is the same case as Inglis at $ouff$ where he was hardly seeing the ball when at centre. So to justify their big pay packet you shift them to fullback where they can get far more involved!

If Folau for us can be anything like Inglis at $ouff$ at the back than I would be all for his signing!! RTS can come onto the wing.

Their similarity ends at their size.

Inglis is much faster, has better acceleration, more explosive and has better hands. Overall Inglis is a marquee player who is a complete footballer.

Izzy is a top finisher who uses his size well. His best strength is the cross field bombs. That is why i frown at the idea of paying him marquee money.

Too right BigMike.

I may be wrong, but didn't Inglis actually debut against us at fullback for the storm..

I have never seen Falou play fullback and there is probably a reason for this...

[mightyrooster]

Good to see Rothfield gets all his information from reading the unsubstantiated rumours on the Chookpen.

[Roostajohn]

RTS will be better than Inglis and Folau and should be fullback when mini
moves to the wing or retires.
Folau would be a good signing but only as a winger.

Inglis played all his football at Norths in the Qld Cup at fullback and was unbelievable.

ROFLMFAO that will do me.

[DirtyHarry]

I would love to have him here but if he was coming back to League, I doubt that he would come to us. I think he would come back to Qld.

[dj_sta]

if Folau ever returns, he will come back after his AFL contract is done and not before. And when he does he will come back as a marquee signing for the second Brisbane team.

NO! youre ability to make up facts astounds me.
he played wing, centre and five eighth for the storm
his first time playing fullback was at souffs

OK maybe he did not debut against us but..

Inglis made his NRL Premiership debut at eighteen years of age as a replacement to injured winger Jake Webster in Melbourne's match against the Parramatta Eels, scoring a try in a 14–26 loss.
Inglis would go on to play a month later at fullback, against the South Sydney Rabbitohs, scoring another try. He played at fullback when Billy Slater was on Origin duty, or at wing or the bench as he slowly solidified himself in the Storm side.

2006: Breakthrough season
Season 2006 saw Inglis continue to play primarily in the fullback role as his counterpart Billy Slater was suspended after he began the season at centre. He was chosen as goalkicker for the Storm after the departure of Matt Orford, but the role was given to Cameron Smith after Inglis kicked just 1 from 5 against the New Zealand Warriors. After scoring 9 tries in 9 games, he was selected in the starting line up in the Queensland State of Origin team.

So by all means, stick that in your pipe and smoke it...

I guess this game didn't really exist...or was it expunged from the books because Melbourne were over the cap?
