Folau will come back

[Raw Boned Youngster]

And RBY - of course, never take it as a promise in a situation like this. But it's at least better than him saying there is no way he will be back.

I think we'd all love him back Jeb.
For a guy who was under immense pressure to perform and justify the big bucks, I reckon he has been an excellent addition.
Big shame he's gone.

Don't know if anyone has touched on this yet, but all that supposed talk about Greg Inglis hot footing it back to Melbourne in two years should be taken with a big grain of salt imo.

I can relate to what he's saying and what he's feeling ... And I'm sure just about everyone on this board has been in a position somewhere somehow where they've felt exactly like Inglis does now ... I know I have ... Right now he's emotional and all tied up in knots about leaving, but you know what, life goes on and those feelings quickly disappear ... And in six months when he's comfortable and part of Brisbane and the Broncos scene he'll have forgotten all about wanting to go back to Melbourne. Its simple human nature.

I'll give anyone odds of 10 million to one that Greg Inglis isn't homesick for Melbourne this time in 2012.

I'm tipping him to bail during year 2 or 3, followed by a very brief and unenthusiastic stint in Union.

As I understand it, he needs to fulfill the entire 4 years of his contract to get the big coin.

 

[Fozz]

AFL will take 4 years out of the career of one of the best backs in the game today. So pissed off at AFL, they will never see a cent of my money if I can help it!

 

[Flutterby]

I agree Fozz, but whilst the NRL continues to work against itself in paying it's genuine stars the big coin, the blame lays at their feet

Ah, I see. Well, I may as well chuck out the rest of these tea leaves then.

 

[Kimlo]

4 years is a long time out of the game and we may:

a) not have the money to sign him
b) not need him depending on who we have coming through at the time and whether GI is still here or not.

Or c) He might actually change his mind icon_thumbs_u

That bloke hasn't been seen around these parts for a couple of years now...

Haha, feel free to collect the discarded leaves SB, er, RBY. I'm now quite cynical of their predictive properties anyway [icon_razz1
