NEWS: Kevin Sheedy believes Folau should have kicked 3 goals on the weekend, if his midfielders were not burning him. We suspect Folau will improve on his most recent statistics in the coming few weeks. | ||||

NEWS: His first game went through to the keeper and many asked questions. 3 handballs was his damage. No kicks. The $8 Million Man is going to be under the pump this week. Kevin Sheedy came to his rescue, saying he will learn from this. You would hope so! Thanks Dad. If you had Folau on your radar in fantasy land, put him at the back of your list. We need to see a huge leap in development before anymore recommendations are made. | ||||

NEWS: Folau is expected to net $8 million over the coming 3 years. He signed a $6 million contract with Greater Western Sydney and is expected to pick up an extra $2 million in sponsorship dollars over the coming 3 years. He is a highly targeted athlete. He has an excellent clean reputation off field and as long as he can contribute on the field, the dollars are going to roll in for him. He recently signed with Under Armour to be the face in Australia. | ||||

NEWS: Considering Folau is expected to play most games in season 2012, this is not a very nice return. Bookmakers obviously don't have much faith in Folau taking on the key defenders of the AFL world. | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: This comes as no surprise. He is a very important PR piece for GWS as they attempt to attract the West Sydney Rugby loving side of town to start following AFL. | ||||
