Parramatta centre John Folau is being shopped to rival clubs just six months after the club re-signed him.
Folau, the younger brother of Wallabies superstar Israel, made a barnstorming start to his NRL career earlier this season.
After a series of impressive performances, the Eels extended his contract for a further two seasons, until the end of 2017\. But the 21-year-old, who scored four tries in seven first-grade appearances, has fallen out of favour and is being offered to rivals. The development further clouds Parramatta's centre stocks - Will Hopoate is taking the club to the Supreme Court after it allegedly reneged on a lucrative contract extension.
Parramatta came within a whisker of securing Israel Folau before he switched to rugby, but the dithering of the NRL at the time practically gifted him to the 15-man code. John's presence in the junior ranks was one of the reasons Izzy wanted to wear blue and gold, but it appears neither will be there in the future.

personally i would love to have him. only seen the few games he played at NRL level tho.
and with the eels shopping him arround they would have to be paying some of his wage
 
He looks the goods.
Early days for him tho.
Obvs his bloodline is elite status.

Would defo be worth snapping up, espesh if Eels are paying the bill.
 
Parra probably bit off more than they can chew salary cap wise by signing Foran. They probably were expecting a few players they offered to other clubs to get snapped up but nobody nibbled so now they are wheeling out players they didn't want to lose.

Why? He definitely has talent, so it must be something bad for Parra to terminate his contract.

There is no secret they have cap issues, there's is worse than ours though. Nothing more to it than that.

Jacob Loko will be a far better pick up

Got busted for drugs, wont be coming back to the NRL

he's shown lots of skills that will help him for the rest of his career

Proved he can hold onto the pill ,prepared to fight for his position and happy to do anything in his attempts to drive to success :wink:
 
I think we need forwards not more backs.

East should sign him so they can go his famous brother when he is sick of playing the other game.

East will always have the money and influence we can only dream of at WT.
 
I didn't think much of Folau when Patty got on the outside of him earlier this year and set up that freakish try for Teddy.
