I think Israel's switch is ridiculous. He's never played Aussie Rules in his life and he's going to be in the top five players in the code?!?!  Its a publicity stunt and i think its going to be a dismal failure. But he's going to be a well paid failure. |

He has been dropped from the QLD SOO side for it, good move imo. I also think it is ridiculous, and I like that AFL players are voicing their disgust at it. They don't even know if he can play! He doesn't even know where he should play  But I do think it has been done successfully. There have been a few Irish footballers come over and do well. Their football is a lot closer to ours than NRL though. |

I don't have an issue with the code swapping but I have an issue with how much money they are being paid to do so. Karmichael Hunt was burnt out after 13 games, and he's been paid $1million this year. That money would be been better spent on other players or resources for the club. Whether it turns out to have been a good move by the Suns in the long term remains to be seen.
