Once again, he is not being dismissed for his religious conviction, he is being dismissed for violating social media clause which he agreed to...

You know that religious organisations in Australia are allowed to discriminate based on religion when hiring people? Yet strangely you think that certain religious behaviours shouldn't disqualify you when it violates the norms and values of an organisation?

You seem to keep missing that his contract was amended. Which seems to have been a violation of some sort if I read correctly. So it seems like they might not even be able to get rid of him even if they wanted to.

If his contract was amended without his approval then I fully agree that he cannot/shouldn't be sacked.

i think meth, coke and heroin would be more fitting given the environment.
you bring the lube, i'll bring the tequila and absinth

Even if he agreed it seems to have been done incorrectly. I'm only talking according to sources I have read. I have no knowledge of his contract or his agreements. This should however be fought in a court. There needs to be a precedent set. His rants and raves should not be linked to his club or them claiming to be victims of his tirades, they are not, they are playing to the PC crowd.

If his contract was changed without his consent, the argument would be about that.

Muddying the waters is all he is doing.

No he should be, because he violated his terms of employment.

Do you believe, Toulon and ARL should not employ him because he broke some agreement with his current employer? Based on the context of what he did?

It will be an interesting test case whichever way it goes...

i do have a logistical question tho

given his hypocrisy, tendency to make judgement on others and propensity to wear mixed threads, its just a matter of time before we bump into izzy.

given your fondness for rugby players, i presume you will be playing "the beast with two backs" with izzy
