He was one of the best players in the game that season and was an integral part of their premiership win.
Without him, there's doubts as to whether they even win it.

He hasn't lost his speed and his pace, nor has he lost the physical attributes that made him such a good player. He still has the ability to shrug off defenders with ease and he's really hard to stop when in the attacking zone.
He would still make a very good centre in the NRL.

just some stuff from everyone's mate Badel
- TPJ - Tigers about to make a formal offer to TPJ for the next 2.5 years. Badel says the club are happy to honour his deal, but if he can get a better offer elsewhere they would be amenable to him accepting it. Bulldogs also circling. Togers can afford 250k for this season
- Oates - was on the verge of asking for a release a few weeks ago (although all he has to do is not take up his option), but things have changed. the club want to keep him and Kevvie is giving Oates his shot to show what he can do

Sonny was 27/28 in 2013. Folau is 33 next season.
SBW’s second stint at the roosters at a similar age was far less successful.

And SBW was a far more important player, but even that aside, Robinson credits part of the Roosters success since SBW came because of the professionalism and standards he set off the field. Folau is a litigation happy flog. I think he'd be adequate on the field, and an awful distraction off it

Why do people focus so much on age? Especially after Cam Smith..
SBW had also played very little professional sport in that time period in between his first and second stint and hadn't had the benefit of playing a good chunk of Rugby League games prior to joining the Roosters a second time.
Folau, despite being 32, is still in excellent physical condition and anyone that's watched him play in his return to Rugby League can see he's still a very good player and looks like he never gave the sport up 10 years ago.

I have no doubt of his ability and unlike others I actually don’t think he’d be much of a distraction for the rest of the team. I actually think many of the younger guys would love having him around. I also think he has a fairly supreme work ethic.
I just think he has put himself in a position where he leaves the NRL and clubs with little choice. A public denouncement of his views and we’re all good - JDB got one of the biggest crowd responses for a single player I’ve seen upon his return. The NRL isn’t above Folau, it’s just a marketing nightmare without the apology.
Physically, you’d get 1 or 2 good years out of him on a cheap contract.

I think bulldogs would be the best move for both them and TPJ.Badel reckons TPJ is about to get a two and a half year offer (including rest of this season) from the Tigers and the Bulldogs are also interested. He reckons the club will let him go if that's what he wants.

Bulldogs have good discipline generally but lack any fire power - especially in the forwards. I think he’d add a lot to their pack, and I think Barrett is a coach who can get more out of him than the more old school Madge.
TPJ, Burton, Fox, Cotric there’s a good mix of star power there.
The tigers have players like TPJ in abundance. The whole team is rocks and diamonds.

Thought he was promised the 6 when he returned...?
Im not complaining mind.....Staggs best position is at right centre.
More like; i cant believe a single thing that is quoted from this club to be true...?

he was promised a shot a 6 next year, not when he returned. Likely what's happening is that they're going to ease him back into the side in a familiar position.
I predict he'll be given a shot at 6 later in the year

Really? Here I was thinking he'd been sat down all this time for being a naughty boy.
Don’t give the NRL any ideas.

with due respect, why not start that in-game training and familiarity this season...there is very little to lose...
That keeps Croft away from the team at least...
Personally though, i want him at centre full stop, but apparently thats not the plan.
So play him there.....no..?

I’m curious as to what role Croft will play. Will Gamble shift back to 5/8, will he remain the dominate half or take a backseat to Croft? Croft would be better served as a but playing 5/8 but God Gamble/Croft is a slow plodder of a half combo.
Will Kev actually do a last minute Milf call up?
