He won't be the only high profile sportsman/woman to hold these views - he's just one of the few to open his silly gob.

He's entitled to his views to the point where it doesn't advocate against the rights of others. At that point you've not got a leg to stand on.

If he goes to Melbourne then the NRL competition is as good as over next year.

But I think that he would fit in better in Perpignan, along with Jackson Hastings.

That's just what Catalans needs - more unstable elements to add to an already unstable compound.

He wants to play rugby, not stand around under the sticks in his own in goal area.

Just read an Australian newspaper report that Jackson Hastings has been involved in fights with team mates.


So I have changed my mind. Now I do not want the pugilist Jackson Hastings at Les Catalans Dragons.

He’s entitled to have the views he has. Why should be people be sensored just because it doesn’t fit with an overly liberal society.

One of my views is that all people who follow a religion should be sectioned under the mental health act because those medieval cults are dangerous and completely fictitious and grown ups should not be following those fairy stories.

He isn't being censored. He is being decried for his views and may well lose his job for them, but that is his choice...same as it is for right wing tossers like Katie Hopkins who spout unfounded bullcrap and have thousands of like minded tools who support her....she is wrong just as izzy is......but they are not censored.

It'd be great to see him back in RL. He's one of the best of his generation.
