Gareth Thomas leading the teams out would be the order of the day.

Re: Wow Folau : Tue Jan 28, 2020 4:13 pm  
I wonder if he will be injured when he is due to play us by any chance but a brilliant move by Wigan having it as the pride game hopefully it brings new people to the game from the LGBTQ+ world

IL interviewed on 5-Live just now. Brilliant publicity for the Pride day - although a little concerned that they apparently "considered" signing him. They'd've had my ST back had that happened.

I think every club would’ve had to give it at least a seconds thought. He is a world class talent available for probably a fraction of what would’ve been his market value before these embarrassing comments. Luckily most clubs have more sense (and don’t have a never ending salary cap) and would’ve left him to rot.

They say all publicity is good publicity but I’m not sure here. The sport has been commended for the way in which Gareth Thomas was embraced (a couple of Cas fans aside) and the acceptance and support Keegan Hurst was shown and this runs a risk of all that being forgotten and us being stereotyped as a bunch of thick Northerners (even if it is a French club he’s signed for) who won’t accept ‘that sort of thing’ when nothing could be further from the truth.

I think every super league club should follow Wigan’s lead and make their home game against Catalans a pride event, it would show unison.

Good idea. I do find it funny though that Wigan made that stand whilst IL basically said they looked at signing him but didn't have the cap space!

Will be very interesting to see if IF turns out for a match badged as a celebration of the community he denigrates. Worth everyone doing so just so they don't have to face what is a very good player!

This is a massive signing for the league & equal to SBW imo.

How have they afforded him tho? ST and and Maloney must be marquee signings.

Are they benefiting from his being classed as a union player? If so it's a masterstroke.


Probably and I agree. It’s a fantastic signing and for me it puts Catalans right up there challenging.

I don’t agree at all with his comments, they were abhorrent. I understand he is a devout Christian though and he is entitled to his beliefs. As long as he keeps his trap shut he will be an astounding player for Catalans.

Fantastic to see him in Super League. I assume that he will be allowed to refuse to carry any external symbols that he would rather not wear as per Williams.

Some cracking ideas for this fixture going round already. Some I can't put on here, but I do hope YMCA gets an airing when we score :D
