If I call someone at work at fuckwit, they take offense, then I apologise, and I get fired, I can still file a lawsuit for unfair dismissal. Keep in mind what he said on his PERSONAL social media channel shouldn't result in the termination of his contract.
Let’s see what the court decides, but if reports about the court document are true and he offered to apologise, admitted he had caused offence and was in breach of his social media contract are true, it’s a pretty big blow to his case.

And that's where you're wrong because it should and it did.
Based on what grounds? Your personal life and work life are meant to be segregated. If RA can't see this, they are in the wrong!

He apologised and admitted it caused offense, but WAS it in breach of his contract? We don't know what was in his contract.

Like I said I can say something in my workplace that someone takes offense to and apologise... however at the same time, if I didn't breach my contract, there are no grounds for termination.

it's ridiculous bro.. but it's certainly not limited to 'discrimination' or whatever they considered Israel's actions to be.. I had a friend who was fired for simply not providing her employer with her Facebook details... what a time to be alive haha
FMD ARE YOU SERIOUS? What the hell? So they hire her and then terminate her because what... she didn't accept them as a friend or something? That's ludicrous!

I've reiterated it multiple times in this thread, but just for you I'll do it one more time.

He signed a contract under the current CBA for Yawnion players that prohibited him doing what he did. HE BREACHED HIS CONTRACT!!!!!!

The end.

...and again, you keep referring to him breaching his contract, we do not know what was in his contract. Let the courts settle it.

I wouldn't be surprised if an out of court settlement takes place in this case.

We do know what his contract required of him under their CBA, but you just keep ignoring it. See post 29.

I have to query the so called parts of his contract that prevents him from thinking, or saying what he believes in.
I dont think anyone can legislate that. I know about non disclosure clauses etc, but that doesnt apply here.
I think Rugby Australia has fucked up big time.
No....sponsorship legislates the game. Rugby had no choice to sack him.
Plus hes toxic to a team. Not one man is bigger than any sport, especially a gentlemans game like rugby. Rugby australia will win.

As far as I'm concerned Izzy has broken none of our country's laws or committed no real crime and should be allowed back into the game.

Nothing but a witch hunt by the "alphabet people".
Ask the sponsors that.

yeah she was there for a few months and then the employees were all asked to provide their social media accounts, so because she refused, they terminated her... I mean there is probably some legal avenues she could have taken, but she probably couldn't be bothered seeing as she had no plans of being there long term, but still.

I haven't seen the court documents, obviously.....but a number of papers have published reports claiming they say he admitted he was in breach of the code and agreed to let RA vet his future social media posts before doing a 180. Things are not looking good for him right now. It will be interesting to see how he responds. It's looking like he took a butter knife to a gun fight, tbh :P

People crying poor izzy. Bullshit. People are actually supporting this trouble making fuck wit.
All the money he made off rugby and its fans, now he is trying to bring a sport and all its fans and past respected players for 100 years, down to his grubby bullshit and money.
Then calls himself a man of god, a mormon.
Absolute bullshit. Ive seen this fraud drunk off his face being a total fucking idiot.
Hes a fucking fake that has always been and always will be about izzy, but yeah bring him back to league.
I would love to know how the tongan players that put tonga on the map, feel about this fraud just waltzing in and taking someones spot. Hes a toxic **** that deserves everything he fucking gets the lying fraud.

You don't think Israel Folau would walk in to the Tongan side in either the Fullback, Centre or Wing Position??
No i dont. Not unless they want too lose all credibility they have worked so hard for, for free. To accomodate a money hungry toxic player. I dont think thats what hoppa, jason and kristian wolfe are about.
Iizzy represents himself,thats why the senoir wallaby players wanted him gone.
They play folau. Its the death of tongan rugby league. I reckon the preaching bitch would get folded in half coming back to league. Took money bill 15 games to catch back up in 2013 and sonny is twice the athlete and twice as hard as that folau the little bitch.

Yeah don't agree, but I don't know any Tongan players personally or know how they feel about him.

Why should the NRL have to follow suit with Rugby anyway.

Bogus decision by Rugby enforced from the viewpoint of the PC Left.

Castle has handled all this very poorly.
