And what about his second "lucky" tryDo you mean thank Christ genia took a quick tap and falou was there to score debut try.

Yeah that second try was a bit of a Moses effort rather than Christ-like.

I would love to know what his heartbeat was before and during the game. His calmness, poise, etc are extraordinary - I have seen something almost like it in a relative when he competed and he is borderline Asperger.
Could be worth a couple of truckloads of money - considering how much JON collected in his last year, and sums paid to the likes of Giteau and other NRL players.
Would like to see him in back three with two of Mogg, KB (Kurtley Beale), O'Connor.

not a done deal yet, might only be rumours, but some good news after the debacle of this last week

that it comes from cheika, does it make it more reliable and elevate it above mere wishful thinking?

Hopefully the deal will secure him in Australian Rugby and the Waratahs until after the 2015 RWC.

Izzy on The Rugby Club last night made a comment that I found refreshing. When asked what surprised him most about playing Rugby, he offered something along the lines of, "I didn't think I would get that much opportunity to attack, or to run with the ball. But the opposite is true. Chieks told me I should be looking for work, looking to get my hands on the ball and play some footy."
One thing that frustrates me is when a convert goes back to League from Union, the League commentators/players/fans all say that he got bored in Union sitting out on the wing. Which is patently untrue in the case of almost all the converts that have played in the outside backs (Sailor, Tuquiri, Rogers etc). Yet the League masses, believe what they are told and so Folau thought, I'll just bide my time for a year in Union even though it will mean sitting on the wing doing nothing, then he plays the game and wouldn't you know it, it's freakin AWESOME!

Is this leagues last play for him? Probably too late to influence a deal now, but could make his next contract negotiations interesting. What the mungos probably don't realise is that they'll probably be competing with French and Japanese clubs who wouldn't hesitate to throw $2million a season at him to get their man!

Yes it was but then he followed it up by saying that Deans gave him the same edict. This represents the sum total of his Rugby experience at a professional level so for him that is rugby in general.

I thought couple of interesting comments FOlau made - One was talking about how QC (Quade Cooper) would / gives his outside back room - Obviously Folau understands that (for backs) rugby is all about giving themselves room... Interesting...
Unfortunately I think he kept his cards pretty close to himself and long term rugby although we can hope...may be a bit far off....
He seems like a genuine guy and cares about the relationships he forms - eg re comments around friendship formed with Christian Leliafano...
Hope he stays in rugby of course... but think theres a bit left to go........

If he was really happy with rugby and his mind was made up I cannot see why he doesn't come outand say so and sign a new contract. maybe he does want to go back to 5 kick and he is just waiting for some concessions being given by them. I certainly don't think they can offer him the money or the playing and travel experience that we can. Is it just about the dollars? Given the delay I think it may be and if so then, irrespective ofhow good he is and how good he can become, I just wish he would say so

Its now a high possibility of a Genia, Cooper Wallabies combo and with there speed of passing and quade's kick passing, Falou would be devastating and a massive threat to All teams.
It may just change my mind of him in Rugby.
