Folau headed to Parramatta

Rugby League have secured at least one Folau to play in their code next year, with the Parramatta Eels signing Israel's teenage younger brother Eni.

As older brother Israel began his much awaited AFL career by training with the Greater Western Sydney Giants yesterday, the Eels snapped up his younger sibling in the hope of finding the next big thing.

Eni is expected to play in the Toyota Cup competition for Under 20's next year, whilst his famous brother cuts his teeth in Australian Rules.

Eni played for the Easts Tigers Under 18's and Under 20's this year and is labeled as being a big bodied centre/winger, in the mould of his older brother. In a relief for the NRL, the AFL may not be interested in Eni because according to talent scouts, he is not blessed with the same freakish skills as his brother.

The scouts have questioned whether Eni will blossom into an NRL quality player, but his presence at the Eels could help heal the rift between Israel and Rugby League, should he opt to return to the code once his AFL contract with Greater Western Sydney expires in 2015.
