Very sad he was the PE teacher at my high school in the late 70s, well liked and respected.

I remember him as a tough player and a bloke who was respected.
Today we saw a true champion in Winx, and a true bludger in Cleary!

Every now and then you really, really like a player from a team you hate.

Steve Folkes was that guy for me from the bulldogs in the 80's and ever since.

Was that East Hills high? One of my mates was also taught by him. Very sad for the family, he was a true footballer probably did not get the recognition he deserved

Very sad and one of the greats of the Canterbury side. Tough as nails and always gave 100%.

I had lots of respect for him.

Should have been our coach after Sheens.

Rest in Peace.

RIP Steve Folkes , thanks for your contributions to the WT's and the game of Rugby League

I'm trying to word this the best way I know , but although he would be sad to be leaving his family and friends behind, he would be happy to be rejoining his wife

Go with God's love

I uncharacteristically checked out the death notices in today's SMH and there was Steven Folkes - poor guy died of a heart attack. The pics shown of him sees him looking pretty fit.??
Malcolm Knox: What has happened this week is a pity for the Tigers, a pity for Jason Taylor and a pity for Robbie Farah, who had achieved more than the Big Four put together but was somehow turned into collateral damage. (SMH 25-26 March, 2017)

Is this for real??? I don't know how I missed hearing it, but I guess I don't watch the news much these days. Didn't even see this thread until now. I'm in shock! Very sad news.
