A decision handed down at 3pm following the tribunals decision.

Folau has a right of internal appeal to a differently constituted tribunal, however the result would likely be the same as a disciplinary tribunal has very limited powers. I predict he will give an appeal a miss and will apply directly to the Court which has jurisdiction ( presumably the Supreme Court of NSW) and seek redress there. Courts are able to consider, interpret and apply legislative and contractual provisions, as well as equitable remedies, that the tribunal could not. For a start, RA clearly denied him natural justice by pre-determining his guilt and penalty before he was even given a chance to answer the charges. The coach also pre determined guilt by stating he would never be selected.

This is a Pandoras Box .... depending on funds RA could become Bankrupt ... they expected Issy to walk away ... he may do ... this is a blatant miscarriage and Suffocation of Freedom of Speech. . since when is a Verse from Bible deemed instigative.... RA is in Financial Freefall ... thought they could tread water dumping Issy and save $4M .... OOPS .....
