Looking forward to seeing him play over here. We all know how daft religion is, storm in a teacup.

First class trolling from Wigan to turn their game against Cats into a pride event, with players wearing rainbow socks and laces.

Would love every club to do the same thing when playing Catalan at home.

Yes, Wigan are already advertising it on Twitter for 23 March. I hope he is not doing it just to get a bit of publicity and wind the opposition up !

I'm neither going to condemn nor condone Folau's beliefs. They're his. Not mine. Imo he's simply an attention seeker. He's taken some words, written a couple of millennia ago and whipped up a social media storm. The handwringers have took exception to it, an it's cost him a lot in wages. Silly lad, or maybe money is not his God, and he accepts the loss of dosh.

mark_m has quoted Folau's forewarnings. They really are quite funny. So God's wrath has been enraged in Australia because of gays, and He's brought bushfires and drought on the country, as vengeance.... hilarious. I'd say these have been brought on by extreme heat. These events have happened for centuries, and is the norm in East Coast Australia, not because homosexually has risen down under, since Folau got his Twitter account rolling. He's making himself look like a plonker. Let him carry on.

Cats have a talented player. Good luck to them. I only hope for their sake, they hide his phone after he's been to Bible reading.

Just as a side issue, I wonder if some of the moral high ground taking Wire fans were as equally APPALLED when Marcus Bai was regularly called Marcus Bisexual by the South Standers, and Lesley Vainikolo was treated to chants of "Lesley is a girl's name", back in the day.

Will Zak Hardaker be playing?

Ouchie

I think even if that is the main reason, it’s a good enough cause that I wouldn’t really mind.

Surely Hardaker will have been banned a fortnight before for [insert indiscretion here].

Strictly speaking “Lesley” is generally considered to be a girl’s name “”Leslie” is the usual spelling for boys. I can’t be bothered looking up which way his name was actually spelled / spelt.

Unfortunately that’s exactly what it is and Wigan deserve no praise at all. On live 5, Lenagan also confirmed Wigan’s interest in signing Folau but the salary cap prevented them from being able to do so. So Wigan have gone from wanting to sign Folau themselves to now being against the whole thing. Pathetic from them.

Methinks Mr Lenagan is a bit of a publicity seeker, himself. Desperate to put himself in the limelight. Fitzpatrick said this week that Gelling signed for Wire because we have a better squad than Wigan. Lenagan "bit", big style. Shaun Edwards has given him a bloody nose, over him (SE) not going back to Wigan, and now Folaugate. He's either more desperate than a reality TV wannabe, or (to quote Roy Scheider in Jaws), "we're gonna need a bigger boat" as he's easy to get [ireeled in[/i

Is AF homophobic?
Is an online version of the guy with the A-frame at Wilderspool telling us all to repent...?
He's hadn't come across anti gay...just warning that his lord said you'll go to hell for it.
He might be trying to save us like the A-frame guy....we didn't take any notice of him.

I went to school with a bloke called Leslie, he certainly wasn't the type Folau has a bias about. My first serious kiss was from somebody called Lesley, she was a bird though.

That's a rather derogatory sexist tone, BBHO.
You need to be sent on a [iMe, too[/i awareness course

Well I am very surprised that a professional business man like IL has stooped to self publicity simply because his club is losing money.

Indeed. I believe totty is the socially acceptable expression these days.
