THE NRL can forget about luring back Israel Folau after the superstar agreed to terms with the Waratahs.

Folau is understood to have extended his tenure at NSW by two years, and once the ARU top-up component of his deal is settled it will be publicised.

Folau, who was on Thursday night rubbing shoulders with other football heavies including NRL types at the subscription television ASTRA Awards, will become one of the highest paid rugby players in the country.

It could still take a few weeks to settle the contract but Folau'sre-signing is also expected to help the Waratahs secure Kurtley Beale, who was spotted at the club's Moore Park office on Thursday.

It is a time of change at the Tahs.

Coach Michael Cheika has taken a hard-line stance on players leaving the club in the off-season.

After initially announcing that Japan-bound Berrick Barnes and France-bound Sitaleki Timani would be part of the Waratahs' two-match tour to Argentina next month, on Thursday he announced they had been pulled.

Cheika, who is filthy on a number of players who have decided to leave, wants to give opportunities to those who he may be able to use next season, and has now included Eastwood centre Michael McDougall, 22, as Barnes' replacement.

The Tahs play two games against Argentinau on August 3and 9, which the Pumas are using as their warm-up to the Rugby Championship.
