Israel Folau

Cross-code star Israel Folau recently rejected an offer to make a return to league with an overseas club.

Israel Folau’s legal team is considering taking court action against the Australian Rugby League Commission for restraint of trade.

He was told he could be back in the NRL for the rest of this season. Now his wife has told their side of the story after a potential deal fell over.

The club legend turned coach has put out a couple of fires surrounding the Wests Tigers following an embarrassing loss.

David Folau says he “can understand the doubters” but is adamant that a handful of NRL clubs are serious about the exiled star’s return.

After 16 years out of the NRL, Israel Folau is sounding out the Wests Tigers for a return. The ARL Commission might stand in the way.

The 36-year-old now plays for Tonga after his Rugby Australia contract was torn up in 2019 over a series of homophobic posts on social media.

History shows us certain players from one state typically dominate State of Origin deciders.

Rugby Australia chief executive Phil Waugh has ruled out the possibility of Israel Folau facing the British and Irish Lions this year.

The now 21-year-old met him as a teenager when former coach Michael Cheika invited him into a Wallabies camp.
