Super League says 'accepts' Folau registration with Catalans

REUTERS: Rugby's Super League says it accepts that Australian Israel Folau has been legally registered as a player, after signing for Catalan Dragons, but says it has taken steps to be able to intervene in controversial signings.

But the Rugby Football League allowed the player's registration with French Super League club Dragons, who he joined last month. "The Super League Board accepts the legalities around the RFL's decision to register Israel Folau, and the Board has voted unanimously to put in place measures that ensure the Super League has greater authority to stop controversial signings such as this in the future," read a statement."As a sport we have an impressive and enviable track record when it comes to equality, diversity and inclusion and we will continue our great work in those areas.

The BBC said it had obtained an email in which Neil Hudgell put the Dragons"on notice" should Hull suffer financial loss due to the signing of the former Australia rugby union international.
