Surprise, surprise...Greenberg invites Folau to S.O.O!!!

I'm getting sick of this crap, Folau gets invited by Greenberg to watch the game from the NRL coporate box.What i don't understand is why hasn't Stuart or the CEO come out and said anything bout why there wasn'tAny assistance given to Parramatta when they tried to sign him?The big Sydney story to come out of Origin last night was Israel Folau spotted with out-going Bulldogs CEO Todd Greenberg at the game in Sydney.Greenberg, who will take up a key executive position at the NRL next year, invited Israel Folau along to his box at ANZ Stadium to watch the Origin decider.Triple M's Matty Johns says the NRL have not given up hope of luring the champion player back to rugby league."No doubt he invited him along, I think, to try and sell… whether he's selling the Bulldogs or trying to sell rugby league back to him with a big crowd there," said Matty on The Grill Team this morning."The general consensus is Israel was going to stay in Rugby Union... [but] look, you don't know, maybe there's hope yet?"If Israel comes back to the Bulldogs, they tell me [Ben] Barba will be at the Broncos."MG spoke with Israel Folau last night during the game and said he'd love to see him back playing rugby league."If anything is going to lure him back, last night [Origin decider] was a great advertisement for it [NRL]," said MG.Last year, Israel Folau had given up a return to the NRL, rejecting an offer from Parramatta to instead sign with the NSW Waratahs Super Rugby club.Folau ended his short-lived AFL career with the GWS Giants last year, saying he'd be 'cheating himself' if he stayed in a game he lacked passion for.

"This is one of my biggest concerns going forward. We don't seem to have anyone really coming through. Greig is a back end of season player, hits his form and fitness late in the season.
This would be either Paulo's last or second last big minute…"

"1. Moses
2. Gutho
3. Lomax
4. Jennings
5. Beau Scott, at the time he brought a lot to the team. What was a inexperienced side and forward pack. He helped build the foundations a lot. "

"Tex Hot will get more money in the UK. Over here he is a winger or back up fullback. Over there he will get another gig at fullback. Not a bad player but journeyman. "
