REUTERS: Robert Elstone, the chief executive of rugby's Super League, has said they arrived at the"wrong conclusion" in sanctioning the signing of Australian Israel Folau by Catalans Dragons.
The Super League on Wednesday accepted that Folau had been legally registered after he signed for the French side last month, but took steps to ensure they can intervene in controversial signings in the future.Former rugby union player Folau had his contract with Rugby Australia torn up in May for posting on social media that hell awaits"drunks, homosexuals, adulterers" and other groups, angering the LGBTIQ community.
Folau, who had stints with Melbourne Storm and Brisbane Broncos in the National Rugby League before switching codes, was told he would not be allowed a return to the NRL.But the Rugby Football League allowed the player's registration with Catalans. Dragons chairman Bernard Guasch said that they wanted to give Folau a"new opportunity" but the club did not share the player's religious beliefs.
