News Sacked rugby union star Israel Folau seeking a return to the NRL

[UndeadShadowMan]

Apparently we ain't got the money anyway even if we wanted to sign him. What a debacle our club has become.

 

[Baby Blues]

No way will he be allowed back, deserted the NRL to jump ship to their biggest rival in the past and now is looking for a hand from our game because no rugby teams here or overseas want him. Love him as a player but he has dug his own grave as far as im concerned. I couldnt realistically see someone paying him $800k+ to play centre anyway and not sure he would be able to play Fullback

He was the best player for the Wallabies and would still carve up NRL. He has had a very good run in regards to injuries and looks to be in great shape. He’d be an asset to most teams on the league. Not liking what he’s done is fair but the conversation is deeper than that. To blacklist list somebody for a social media post is extreme. The leftist media love making examples of soft targets like Folau but you’re not changing anything.
QANTAS does business with airlines owned by ultra conservative middle eastern countries who aren’t LGBTQI friendly. The hypocrisy here is ridiculous

not saying i agree or disagree with the NRL's stance on his behaviour but i do understand that they are trying to protect their image just the same way they have done so with DeBelin and Walker ect. Theres no doubting hes an amazing athlete and i would love to see him carve up again but i just think the NRL would never let it happen while they try to please everyone and make the game more inclusive. Very interested to see where he ends up, its a shame he wont be with the wallabies for the world cup because they need all the help they can get haha

 

[steeliz]

So much for his convictions....lol

Pass

If he held those convictions so closely why did he lie about being a Queenslander?

I think it’s all white noise though. Would you honestly not watch your team of Folau plays for them? He’d get booed every time he touches the ball but eventually people would get over it. What he did wasn’t unforgivable IMO. It’s like we aren’t even giving people second chances and the opportunity to grow and evolve.
Wallabies were definitely trash with him and they’ll be even worse without him. Rugby is slowly dying anyway. Does anybody even watch Super Rugby?

 

[AlzzBulldog]

I'd use the nrlol just to further my career, like all of us would.

Don't care if he is Jew, Muslim or Hindu I'll take him.

Just wouldn't let him on social media because whatever he posts, stupid snowflake motherfuckers will find something to complain about.

I agree the world is full of fucking snow flakes, he didn’t break the fucking law

 

[Bob dog]

Fuck his personal beliefs, people are human beings, will be lucky to find a club, Knights might take him.

Leftist media mate, are you really sure, in our very recent elections, all the media were in overdrive trying to get the Conservatives elected and succeeded.

 

[Sandra's Bollocks]

Greenturd and the other idiot have already confirmed he's not welcomed back, so why does this article even exist?

Because Greenturd and the other idiot are weak as piss and backflip in a heartbeat.

 

[_G-Dog_]

He can have what ever position he wants.. plus we will throw in Canterbury Leagues

Well if they do then they're truly spineless pricks.

 

[Mr Invisible]

No, apparently it's been reported that Beattie and Greenturd have said he's not welcome back, unless he deleted the tweet in question.

Peter Beattie probably thinks they are talking about John Hopoate.

Clive Palmer ads don’t count as the media. The media and Hollywood has been left leaning for quite a while. That’s why Fox News seems to extreme because it’s not the norm

hahaha Oh my, you poor brainwashed socialist.

I know a few lost souls who are greenies that actually believe the ABC is balanced LMFAO

 

[CroydonDog]

He just spent time hanging out in Philly with cult leader Gino Jennnings. I guess birds of a feather...

 

[Dawgfather]

But but but he's of utmost respectful character, he's taking a stance for his beliefs!!!!!

The amount of acrobatic "reasoning" done to defend this knob in comparison to the respectful Cody Walker who's been smashed pillar to post on this forum.

My personal opinion is that if Folau did some form of protest on the field, then I would be just as pissed off as I am with Walker and Ado-Carr and the other imbeciles.

Doing something on his own personal twitter in his own time is up to him.

When you step on the field in your playing uniform, in front of the cameras, and use the platform to promote your own personal protest, then yes I have a problem.

 

[Dawgfather]

The NRL could do worse than Folau. He doesn't assault women (or anyone for that matter), he doesn't appear to have issues with gambling, alcohol or drugs either.

Sounds to me like he's already better than a majority of current NRL players.

In Beattie interview he mentions that he wants all to be inclusive , refering to Cody Walker not wanting to sing anthem, and saying its fine with him if he doesnt want to sing, next question was about Israel , and he suggests he would not be welcome back... SO much for being Inclusive .. and this guy is running the Game- Another Disaster!!

 

[Wahesh]

Beattie and Greenturd already came out and said that they won’t allow him to play. Not even the Rorters, Souths, BronCOWS or Storm can over-ride that.
