Message: [QUOTE="dukey, post: 2307430, member: 2046"] This is a case of the QRL putting themselves ahead of the game, I feel. Regardless of what he's playing now, Folau is, in the minds of the public, an AFL recruit. Selecting him for the biggest feature of the rugby league season is pretty much reinforcing the fact that he's a superstar. And by not selecting another player the QRL are admitting that he's irreplaceable. I'm not wearing the blue coloured spectacles. If Jarryd Hayne had signed for GWS I'd be against him playing Origin as well. If the QRL had said from the outset that he'd still be available, that would make it easier to swallow. But it seems that they can flip-flop on their strong convictions if it suits them - which would piss off everyone on this forum if it were the NSWRL doing it. As an aside, this might work against GWS a little bit - sure, the AFL can be smug that they're getting one of RL's best, but good luck to GWS in convincing the residents of Western Sydney that the bloke in the maroon jumper is 'one of them'.
