Thoughts on Folau to rugby

I don't think it is as simple as that. These things often take time to resolve.
From Cheika's comments last week, it appears that the Tahs and Folau have agreed to terms on a new Super Rugby deal. Now the ball is in the ARU and Folau's court to work out an ARU contract.
I'm sure both sides will be keen to come to an agreement but as in every contract negotiation Folau's management will be looking for the highest possible pay and the ARU will be looking to save money. Agreeing to something in the middle that works for both sides could take time.

Doesn't this just remind us how dysfunctional the contracting process is?
I'm not really sure what the solution is.
I think it is worse if the ARU contract happens first because it means that key players can bleed the ARU for more money (which comes out of everyone's pocket) and then sign a smaller deal with their Super Rugby franchise (which only comes out of that team's pocket) thus allowing some Super Rugby sides to build a better squad by paying under market value whilst the player still makes pretty much the same money they otherwise would.
Personally I'd like to see the ARU contracts work on more of a reward for selection basis. Fewer guaranteed contracts and more contracts for the next season based on selection in the previous season. Whilst it could send a few players offshore for more of their salary guaranteed, at least it can be boiled down to a set formula rather than a situation where the favourites earn most of the money.

That's a contentious issue. We all know it's Minto, NSW but Queensland believe it is a suburb of Brisbane.
The ARU have already upset Queensland enough this week.

Post #606. What "Honour" has IF gained at Sydney University?
Presumably he has paid registration and received his Uni shorts, socks and training singlet.
Surely "honours" are earned by doing something more than paying registration fees.
Has he actually taken the field in ANY game at Sydney University to warrant a claim of club honours?

I would wager that rego fees were not to his account!

Do you think that his Mum and Dad paid his rego fees, like La Jarse and I still do for the Junior Jarses?
The Uni Rugby web site tells us for $300 (Grade and colts), he will get a little bit more than shorts, socks, and training singlet.

Sounds like cheap gym membership!

I think he did some work experience with Buildcorp. Same, same isn't it?

Has everyone missed the bleeding obvious here?
It says position: Winger.
Can we read anything into this?

Scratch that...
Whoever works in the media department of the ARU either smokes crack or didn't listen to the team annoucement.
It has AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) listed as a fuillback, Barnes as a centre and Lealiifano as a flyhalf.

The overworked and underpaid interns in the Marketing Department strike again.
It isn't too much to ask for a little accuracy and attention to detail is it?

Seems like it would be a stretch to even assume these interns watch rugby with those mistakes..

And how many times have we heard crap just like this about many high-profile players in the past few years? Really don't think it's worth paying heed to any of this stuff until Izzy or a rep says something. These articles always stink of editors trying to fill white space.
