Again, thank you, really

that's just a gossip paper nothing in the main stream of any rugby league papers or media television reports, if you quoting the rag Steph shame on you not a true scouser

So in your head it's been signed up? I'm interested in this you keep posting....

Leigh Centurions - 100+ years / Circa 3k
Wakefield Wildcats - 100+ years / Circa 4k
Toronto Wolfpack - 3 years / 9k

Every time you post this is added to the post, every single time. Tell us all what it is supposed to mean?

lol

Its called a signature

Folau has been named in the squad for the game against castleford and is likely to make his debut.

Looking forward to seeing how he gets on

So why don't you include the rest of the clubs barring Leeds, FC, Wigan, and Warrington, because all the rest according to your information draw less crowds than your free loading Canadian RL fanatical fans.

Has he been visiting the sweetie shop again?

Wonder if Mr Hudgell will be referring himself for misdemeanours...appears he now needs a chauffeur yet again. Really should know to leave the car at home by now.

link?

You know this isnt the place for facts

good point, apologies.

Good that the lad scored on his Catalans debut.

In what sense ‘good’?
Considering the amount of negative publicity he has given the sport.

A lot of people are showing their true colours in support of that guy.

it will be interesting to see what happens at the next home match following the 'flag' issues yesterday. the negative PR bandwagon just keeps rolling along ....

One of the two fans, Alison Grey, posted a photo on Twitter of her holding the flag at the Stade Gilbert Brutus ground, and said: "Just been told I am not allowed this flag because the club does not allow it. How disgusting #loveislove #castleford #pride."

Oh the irony, given the Castleford fans treatment of Gareth Thomas.

You've tarred all Cas fans with the same brush. This incident clearly shows that not all share the same view, and in fact some hold a completely opposite one.

yes, ironic, but prob best leave that to another thread. you can find idiot fans in all clubs.
the question is how the RFL manage the current situation and the negative PR it is continuing to generate. or is any PR good PR ???

Watched the highlights, he had a very impressive game given how little rugby he's played for the last year.

It’s good because we are supposed to be rugby league supporters and he was playing rugby league. All the surrounding nonsense is just that - noise created by self-virtuous hypocrites.

whatever your own personal beliefs, the issue is to do with the fact that RL have sign a player that has been sacked by his own league.
Therefore this is an integrity issue for the game, as it could be viewed as opportunistic and lacking in moral consistency.
By sanctioning the signing the RFL has isolated itself and it could be argued has shown a lack of moral consistency with its fellow sports governing bodies.

And that position is regardless of the issues that caused the ban.

He’s not played league for ten years and not played anything for a year - if he tears it up on his first game it isn’t ‘good’ from a Rugby League perspective as it makes us look amateur.

Or people that dont like homophobic bigots.


YES I AM A CAS FAN. Yes some idiot cas fans abused Thomas in 2010, yes it was wrong and yes I can still be offended by homophobia. That doesn't make myself or the lady with the pride flag a hypocrite.

If he'd stayed in RL he'd be an immortal now.
The Melbourne "big 4" were Cam Smith, Billy Slater, Greg Inglis and Izzy Folau, with many thinking Folau was destined to be the best of them. AFL and Union gave him huge money, because he was worth it.
At his age, and with so long out of the game, he probably isn't going to reach his previous level, but this guy was a once in a generation talent in his prime.

Not doubting his talent - it was just a comment on people fishing for a reaction by hoping he had a brilliant first game. When the high bombs go up, more often than not he'll come down with the ball - it will be a nightmare to defend against.
