Message: [QUOTE="Major JW Hochstetter, post: 2292789, member: 1828"] Badav's right IMO. Plenty of people - from a fan's perspective - will bag Folau out for being anything from a treacherous gimp or a mercenary following the coin trail, to someone whose a bit of pea-heart, not a team player or simply has no loyalty, and so on. Some of that may be quite valid and I'm sure most of us have some sort of opinion on Izzy's motivation, be it positive or negative. But in the end, love him or hate him and for reasons that badav pointed out, it's insane to judge Izzy over taking on such huge offers - nor any other player mind you. The people who should be judged are the wankers (and companies) who've controlled Rugby League in the past in both game and club administrations who have brought us to be in such a gross position of financial and structural underachievement. They're the reason why we aren't able to pay these guys anywhere near their market value. That being said, the way Izzy (or his manager) handles the situation is another matter. I think the rep selectors, although nothing official has come from Izzy's camp as yet, need to assume that he won't remain in the NRL and base their selections on that. Defectors are more than welcome to head elsewhere, but - as big Mal has already implied - I think it's more than fair enough for our rep teams to be made up of players who are committed to future seasons, for a variety of reasons.
