I'm pretty certain the CAS in Switzerland would rule that the RFL could not stop catalan employing him.

dress it up however you want, the majority of fans and clubs do not want him in SL.

For me, they shouldn't sign those people either.
What message are we putting out there ?

As long as you can pass or kick a ball, come on down.

Well they aren't developing French players as they dropped the academy, they can't find any talent in the French domestic game, and few English are on the market as English clubs need bigger rosters for their reserve team commitments.

So they have pretty much descended to TWP's policy of a shock signing of a past it player who will fill column inches, hiding these two clubs real failures to develop players. People should note these are supposed to be the "flagship" clubs for French and American expansion.

I can't see the expansion but Lockwood in his league Weekly rag this week still sees "expansion"........

The difference is the history that LGBT people have had to endure vs "adulterers, liars, atheists". you've never felt unsafe because you lied or got drunk, or felt like you couldn't be out in public drunk.

And they will reap what they sow on that front. They are morally bankrupt, and that’s why their culture as an organisation and team is dreadful, and that’s why, regardless of how much they spend and who they sign, they’re going nowhere fast in terms of success.

Leave them to it.....

As I said the Hypocrisy runs deep.

explain how it's hypocritical.

It's strange how Union dont want him, the NRL wont touch with a barge pole and yet, Catalan are happy to take him on.
If he'd posted the same things about a different group say, blacks or Jews etc, there would have been an international outcry and rightly so.

The analogy against other "criminals" in our game is a little different.

In the modern world, you just cannot say the kind of stuff that he tweeted, especially if you are a public figure.

Just look at the characters who come into the sport. We've had wife beaters ffs. Their was no pitchforks out demanding they not be allowed to play.

If people don't want Izzy in the game so be it but don't upset about that yet criminal convictions are ok.

Robert Lui was released from the Tigers for beating up his wife and then made SL his home? You cool with that?

Great signing for Catalan. Players have done lot worse stuff then him and have been welcome to play.

Izzy should be allowed to play in Super League.

You can't allow players who have beat up there wives or girlfriends to play while refusing Izzy.

The RFL knew they could not stop this.

NRL clubs did want him just the NRL wouldn't register him.

Bad behaviour didnt damage this guys career; https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/27/spor ... -case.html Didn't Izzy win his case against the ARL?
