It's about opinions, if you can't accept what he says then maybe you shouldn't respond with needless abuse.

Robert Elstone: ”Super League does not have the authority to veto the registration of players and is satisfied by the due diligence carried out by the RFL.

We all know how good the RFLs due diligence has proven to be- Chalmers and Green

Isn’t the point. If Wigan were interested in him then fine that’s up to them but to announce you were interested in him literally hours after making it clear you are opposed to him signing for Catalan, is embarrassing. Wigan trying to take the moral high ground doesn’t work at all when they’ve backed players who’ve done far worse than Folau.

A sensible post. I have no real opinion on him but from following his spat with Aus Union I think I am right that they only ditched him after a lot of sponsors threatened to pull out if he played? Otherwise he would still be playing for them!

Off the top of my head all of following have been in RL recently

Wife beating
Drug taking
Drink driving
GBH
Assault
Tazering a police officer after a high speed car chase
Assault on a drugs tester (sadly my own team has given that cretin a job)
Banging a team mates wife
Homophobic abuse
Glass/bottling a team mate
Gambling on your own team to lose.
Breaking and entering
Urinating in your own mouth on camera
Abuse toward females
Sex act with a dog

All of which were give second (and in some cases 4th or 5th) chances. And whilst i dont agree with all those chances being given, it seems a touch hypocritical to suggest Izzy shouldnt be allowed to play in SL

After the first incident they gave him a new 4 year contract.

Ben Barba got banned for life by the NRL. If that never happened I have no doubt he would be playing in SL right now.

you forgot the doggie blow job

I think our chairman summed it up perfectly, we have become a safety net for anybody who has been kicked out of other competitions.

This is not just directed at Folau by the way but IMO we should have the same morals as the NRL and RFU when it comes to our expectations on how our `professionals`should behave. It is a crying shame that rugby league in this country is desperate for any talent that they can take.

Israel is a bit different but I'm proud that as a sport we have supported people like Hardaker have been persisted with and given opportunities to reform and learn, rather than just cast out.

I think its a bit of a joke all these people carrying on about someone coming out with a list of people who he believes are going to hell but then cheering on and singing the name of Robert Lui.

Stuff like sexual offences, domestic abuse etc we should not entertain at all. But if someone is young and making mistakes then both the carrot and the stick should be used.

Greenburg is trying to clean up the NRL but more importantly their needs to be a real culture change driven by the players. More often than not the stupid actions are alcohol fueled and there should be a debate about how much players drink.

Why professional athletes would want to drink alcohol I dont know but Rugby still has a drinking culture and that needs to change. Is it any wonder young players end up doing stupid things after drinking when the dressing rooms they enter that is the culture.

I would guess players over also love a drink and out on the lash but its different in the sense the media spotlight is not the same. Players could go out in Manchester, Newcastle, London etc and nobody knows who they are.

Before i start let me just say that I do not agree with the views of Israel Folau.
I do however find it ironic that whilst people are expected and demanded to show respect and tolerance to gay people the same doesn't apply to anyone who has a different viewpoint.
To my knowledge he has posted his views on the internet yet he is a bigger villain than a wife beater.
If like me you dont like his views dont read them, but show the same respect for his views as you would others.
