Its starting to feel like a sporting version of that Louis Theroux documentary "The Most Hated Family in America". Maybe Louis should do a show about Folau so he can tell everyone how he's been so misunderstood. That he a mercenary there is no doubt. I'm not sure how that fits into his christian beliefs, or is money more important to him than his christian beliefs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RP London Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (Quickly gets out bible to check folaus list of people going to hell) ah yes... "envyings" is in his translations and in the original post on instagram (others include Selfish Ambition, which surely includes him).. you've got to argue that the way he acts is envying what others are doing and looking to get to it at whatever cost.. either way hes ticking some boxes on his own list IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, very simply, when he signed with Japanese Rugby, posters on this forum denigrated him for showing no allegiance to Southport Tigers. As it turns out, that criticism was premature and undeserving, as he prepares to play his first game for them this weekend. This is all that I am raising attention to and whether or not Japanese Rugby is in or out of season is neither here nor there to my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much is Izzy getting paid to turn out for Southport tigers? You can bet your bottom dollar that had Japans top league been in season he wouldn’t have played a game for Southport tigers.

The facts demonstrate that he has signed a contract to play Japanese Rugby when the season finishes for his current club Southport. First people jump on his back for signing with Japanese Rugby while he is due to play RL. When that turns out to be a false accusation, he is now accused of doing something that will not happen. If people don’t like him, that’s fine. I don’t have a problem with that. People will have their reasons and will find their reasons to be reason enough. But holding him negatively accountable for actions that have not and will not happen is frankly unfair and unjustifiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
