Dragons chairman Bernard Guasch said: “We want to give Israel a new opportunity to shine on the pitch.”

Folau, 30, an ardent Christian and former poster boy of Australian rugby, was fired in May by Rugby Australia over a social media post warning “hell awaits” gay people and others he considers sinners.— John Davidson Fair to say the majority of Super League clubs are absolutely not in favour of Israel Folau entering the competition. As in, they are absolutely well and truly against it. Tricky situation for the RFL and Robert Elstone.Catalans confirm signing of Israel Folau on a one-year contract. Folau: “I acknowledge the views expressed by Super League and the RFL.

They want to silence christians and make our beliefs irrelevant, these beliefs have kept our morals in the society for centuries. WhatTheHellIsTheWorldComingTo

Finally RID if him

Good, hope he gets thd sledding he is owed. Arrogance before a fall

Don’t forget the drunks and fornicators ! Most of us have tickets😁

I hope this coconut can handle it

congrats! Cant keep a good man down

That's not what he said... There was a list, not just gays.

Go Israel, if the worse thing you do is believe in your God, I wish you well

So Foalu has joined the Super League? Fabulous Ithhrael!

Probably the best thing for him. Away from his church where his father has been teaching him all the things he try’s to tell us

RIP any Super League teams that dont sign him. We already run rings around the Brits and French, this will make it so much worse for them.

Be kind. We’re all just people being people in whatever way moves us. I don’t condone Folau’s sharing as it has so much potential to cause shame, hatred and pain, but be kind to yourself and to each other.

Hope he doesn't start preaching there.

Good for him, now we get to see what we loved him for 👍👍👍

More gays in France than Australia, he will like that. ? IsraelFolau

Rugby league players assault their partners and others while on their drink binges. That is all well supported by the clubs and their rugby league colleagues. A slap on the wrist occasionally to show authorities pretend they act against domestic violence.

Yippee- as long as the wanker isn’t in Australia talking shit

Good on him. Our loss..their gain.

Care factor - 🥶🥶🥶🥶

Why doesn’t the media mention that the ARU settled for a massive 7 figure settlement because “the ARU were wrong”. Outright media bias again in not allowing free speech.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🎉

troll alert Twitter to go into melt down with this news

Love to see the social media clauses in the new contract?....ahahaha.

ScottyfromMarketing

That’s right. Reward homophobia

IzzyFolau's post wasn't hate speech but a warning from the bible he is allowed to believe in. I don't recall any drunkards or adulterers carrying on when the scandal hit - yet they also featured in his post. You hate him for his convictions, but applaud those who 'come out'...?

Gets him out of Australia...

Good for him and us, great player.

May start following the super league 😅

It'll be good to see him play again.

He simply stated what's in the Bible, and didn't exclusively talk about gay people. We've known about this for thousands of years, I don't get the outrage.

Fantastic news

Hope he doesn't last long

I hope God makes them lose.

If Margaret Court can be celebrated at the tennis.... a worrying precedent has been set

Which sport this time? Soccer? Real tennis? Dodgeball?

Move on
