I think Izzy is a bit old for the NRL now (what is he 32?), but he would be pretty good on a short term contract. All an NRL club would need to do is get him to apologise and claim he was taken out of context.
He will likely head to France or somewhere.

Beattie made it clear he’s gone. That’s it in the NRL for Izzy

He's 30. Could very well go good for 1-2 years, but it appears that door is closed to him too. I have no idea where'll take him now. I thought maybe Japan, but then I saw this-

Are they devils horns on his head? Not helpful if he’s trying to sign Folau

He is free to say what he likes, and I'm free to call him a merkin.

Seeya Izzy. Westboro Baptists welcome you with open arms.

I love the 'free speech' argument f**king dummies raise because they want to hear out bigot opinions.

Here's why the whole 'free speech' argument is complete bullshit.

Imagine if any person of any standing said "I want to f**k children". Are you 'free speech' defenders going to start defending that? No, of course you're not. Because you're bigots, not paedophiles, presumably.

Exactly. The speech defence is just something awful people hide behind when people call them out on their bullshit.

Replace the word 'Christian' with the word 'pedophile/Nazi/fascist/etc' and see how it stacks up.

is this for real?

edit: forget about it. For some reason, I thought this was one of the Tuivasa-Sheck boys (and it seemed out of character)

Such an over rated player.

So poofs are going to an imaginary place.

Dumb people breed alot I guess.

As if this isn't just a orchestrated attempt form Folau to get out of his ARU contract. He had already been warned about posting stuff like this on social media before and knew what would happen. This has Isacc Moses name all over it and I bet he signs a mega bucks deal in overseas rugby shortly.

Not sure Saudi Arabia has a big rugby scene

Sure but what about the world cup? Why not wait until after to start hating?

He'll clearly end up in some Charming Southern French village with a comic book tycoon paying him inconceivable amounts of money.

I hope that village is a Front National voting village where the locals mistake him for a North African and give him a daily verbal free expression of ideas.

Would there be that much appeal to go to a World Cup with the Wallabies and crash out early?

All I know is that it's a big lure for ex-nrl players. They all want a shot at the WC. Even if it means 4 years of super rugby catching a cold on the wing.

Maybe he is bored with the idea.

The ARU, NRL and society, need to take a stand against people who dont follow the standardised conventional way of thinking.

sure, we can allow rapists, and women bashers, and drink drivers, drug cheats and abusers and allow people who systematically rort the very system that keeps our game fair become immortals.

but lets cast out and alienate a bloke who posted a meme about not liking gay people..

good on everyone, you're all making a real difference
Can you please point out for me who currently playing in the NRL is a convicted rapist?

Either way, this rubbish is a false equivalence - people can want all those people out AND want Israel denied access to an NRL contact too.

It's not Australia, it's not homosexuality, but you can surely see the parallels.

When left wing political parties and people like Bazal say "stamp it out", this is what I'm hearing.
Left wing political parties LOL. Stamp it out?

Stamping out people discriminating against others?

I'm beginning to think you're not as against what Izzy said as you implied.
