More than $1 million a year? When he's already said he doesn't want to leave Australia? And his wife is a professional netballer here? Assuming he get's his full contract paid out by RA. The normal thing would be that the money would be paid in the usual installments and any other rugby...

Yes indeed FP. I'm not even that sure that he's that much an outlier in terms of his beliefs, but clearly he is in terms of how he speaks about it.

I wouldn't be so sure of RA's processes if I were you. Regardless of any oral agreements, if RA didn't specifically put clauses about social media activity in the signed contract then things aren't as clear cut as you and others think. You realise that he gives half his money away? I would...

That would be some of that bullying that people are (rightly) concerned about.

Very well-balanced and thoughtful statement. I completely agree.

I wouldn't be so sure about this bit.

I think that contract law is a little more complex than this. I don't believe that you cede all rights and freedoms to an employer at all. As far as I know it's an extremely complex part of the law (which is why equity lawyers are so well paid). A lot depends exactly on what the contract...

I'm not, but there's a world of difference in difrectly quoting something and thus people may read it and make up their own minds and paraphrasing in which people (either deliberately or through ignorance) can tailor what they say to their own meaning. For example using Jeremiah (writing c...

I've spoken to a contact at Kings. No interest in rugby. Was the Year 7 Boarding House master for a year or two but didn't last. His main interest is theology. (We may well need that religious thread yet)

Thank you Wamberal. I couldn't have put it better myself.

You said in your post "quoting" which he wasn't. And yes, the mainstream Christian message is most certainly repent and you will be forgiven and saved. That has never been the question.

Although, he didn't in this instance target any particular group, he targeted just about everybody (including homosexuals) Among the others he condemned to eternal damnation include; drinkers, catholics, people who have Christmas trees, atheists, adulterers etc, etc, etc,. He's seriously...

Although he isn't actually quoting the Bible at all. He (or somebody who has taught him this stuff), has placed their own meaning on a whole book of the Bible and reduced it to a few simplistic (and incorrect) lines. The context of the Book of Jeremiah (upon which Folau and his sect seem to...

One suspects his answer would be in the thousands of years, not millions.

Didn't Pulver say that there was no place in Australian rugby for Beale at a news conference?

Possibly a small minority of pentecostal churches rather than maintstream Protestant churches. As the membership of mainstream denominations have declined in the past generation, they have been replaced by secularism in part of the population and another part of the population has become...

It's a little odd that he's using passages from the Old Testament to explain why Christmas and Easter aren't related to Christianity. Presumably he knows that the Old Testament predates Christ and the main Christian teachings are found in the New Testament. I also assume that he's aware that...

It's not beyond the realms of possibility that Israel will end up playing for Tonga at RWC (and/or Tonga in RL), so we may yet see him in action.

Although in those days the Sydney Anglican Archdiocese was much more mainstream Anglican than it is now. Ever since Jensen ran the place it's become far more puritanical.

But they can chosse to reassess their business relationships with them - assuming that they are acting on a moral basis. QANTAS chose some years ago to sever former code share agreements with British Airways, Air France, Alitalia, Cathay Pacific and replace them with an arrangement with...
