With our old mate Folau out in Tonga trying to promote AFL to the rugby nation. I think it was a wise move to ban him from participating playing for Tonga in Rugby League and not allowing him to create a circus by being waterboy.

Israel Folau believes that his ongoing struggles to become an elite AFL footballer are at least partly genetic.
During his time as a rugby league star and now an AFL novice, Folau has been told that his Tongan ancestry helps to explain a relatively poor aerobic capacity for a game largely built around sustained running.
"With my heritage and background, we're not built as athletes to be good runners," Folau said.
"We're natural athletes with explosive power. I've got to work on my aerobic capacity, which is improving.
"I guess that's part of our genes that come from our heritage as Polynesian people. We're built for more explosive, powerful stuff rather than aerobic running.
"Some of my trainers within the NRL and now the AFL have been saying it and I see it as being true.
"A lot of a Polynesian athletes, they struggle aerobically but when it comes to being quick and powerful they've certainly got that.
"Our body is designed for those types of games (rugby union and league).
