Kafer saying today we're better off without him.
Interesting from the guy who is one of our High Performance Coaching Level Coordination Supervisory Hangers-On.
That’s comical Ali levels of delusion. Great to see though .

FWIW, most people I speak to here in Sydney are happy to see the back of him, and think RA has done the right thing.
The usual blowhards are defending Folau, but I don't think the public are behind them.
Certainly would be interesting to see the crowd reaction if Izzy returns to the field.

have split posts from the last day or so, lets keep this one focused on the actual rugby aspect and use the other one to discuss the peripheral religious, freedom of speech etc side of it.
Appreciate there is inevitable crossover, but try to keep this thread to the actual sport side of things.

Have they made a decision yet? Has he actually been fired?
Effectively, yes. When RA, Waratahs and the respective coaches and captain say you won't be picked.
-
So what are the Wallabies chances without him? My memory is hazy, but did he make much of a difference at the last RWC?

He's far and away their best attacking player and points outlet. He's been the difference in a number of tests. This is a huge loss.

But is he still getting paid? Is he effectively on Gardening Leave?

I was wondering that. Quade was effectively a very expensive club player for a while wasn't he? I assume RA will want to cancel the contract altogether, even if it means a small payout.

@Rembrandt said in Aussie Rugby in general:
I wonder what his future could be. Would the NRL take him on? I'm guessing probably not. Could this be the end of his sporting career at least in Australia?
NRL have subtlety said no, I think I read the other day
-
@Hooroo yeah NRL have said no thanks...in theory, but I guess if some club went to them asking for him, write in some rules around his conduct, am sure they'd let him in?
Comic book man from France thinks Folau is a fool, but he is such a tool he'd probably still offer him a contract then cry in shock and surprise when Folau tweeted something else dumb.

He injured his ankle in one of our pool games, and was well below his best the entire tournament.
But yes, we will miss him a lot.

Yeah I guess they're probably in a shittier position now than they were in 2015.

Yeah, so are we though!
