I loathe the hypocrisy.
When the sign with RU/AFL, they are the worst Judas.
When they come back, it's wonderful to have them back.
They trotted off. The fans didn't. Be honest and say you don't care and you're taking the cash.
Just getting back on topic here...
Titans look likely to sign young English fullback Matt Russell. Looks like Zilly will go into the halves if they are signing more fullbacks

That is how sport is 'done' these days. It is always about income generated through publicity and they pay for that! I can see the value in that theory but it always denigrates the actual sport at the time and the embarassment after always lives on!Isreal Folau was never going to stay in AFL he was only their for the money,G.W.S did not buy him for his AFL skills they bought him for the off field promos,sponsorships & the Kids into AFL.
He was always going to come back to rugby league in his last State of Origin match for Queensland G.W.S coach was in a corprate box showing off the man to sponsors showing his football skills and how he can attract the kids.
That is why the money was thrown at him to goto AFL.
Funny I thought the last Media release had Zillman saying his preferred position was fullback but then I only read the opening couple of lines!.
Living here I would have to agree with you. There are some messed up people here. Although I would not believe every thing you read in the paper. Not to say this is not trueOnly on the Gold Coast..... lol
