Izzy sacked

[Harvies elbow]

I hardly see being sacked by rugby Australia as a punishment...

 

[highlandeagle]

What ever happened to free speech. Hard to see the drunks and atheists offended by his comments.

 

[bob dylan]

What a pedigree.

He is Storm, Bronco, Rugby Union, God Bothering homophobe

I cant decide what is his worst trait.

I reckon he should just **** Right Off Completely.

 

[Cliffymagic]

Looks like im goin to hell as im bit of a drunkard and fornicator. Enjoy heaven izzy, you'll probly be alone up there.

I’m sipping a red and am an atheist and a fornicator. I’m only offended by his intolerance.

 

[Fluffy]

Should we??

use him as a tackling bag for Marty and AFB with coaching tips from Roberts, i think yes is the answer

Definitely the first

Regardless of the specific reason for his sacking ......f*ck him.

I am sure he will be off to Japanese or French rugby anyway, but if he was interested in a return to league, no thanks.

Go play whatever else it is that interested you far more than league. Or get a room full of bibles and bash them.

he is entitled to free speech and entitled to everything that comes with being a hateful cretin from the dark ages

 

[Harvies elbow]

Just let him air his views to Ian.
In a quiet room.
Even at 54 this year there'd only be one bloke walk out and it wouldn't be Izzy...

 

[Midnight Rambler]

Pipe dream...but I’d sign Izzy in a heartbeat.
I don’t give a ****e about his personal views. He’d win Manly a premiership.

 

[Tomay]

I have no problem with people having their own views and opinions. However, I wouldn't want him to represent Manly and express these in a public forum. If he can keep it to himself I would be happy enough to have him on board, just like anyone. Not sure how'd he go in a proper full contact sport after so long out.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

I'm confused. Izzy coming or not?

He is only quoting his Bible/religon. Which gets massive tax breaks in AUS.
From the government that we vote in.
Then pay more tax to fill their tax void.

I don't hate Izzy. Just dislike what he believes in and the way they have influence on the govt but get tax breaks.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

The bloke is a freakish talent
I seen his debut against Manly as a 5/8 in a trial 2007 at the Sunny Coast.
Destroyed Manly on the night who had basically the winning 2008 side playing - trial -Yes - but the kid oozed talent.
2008 in a side losing GF 40-0, he busted as many tackles as any Manly player.
I back him to end up at the Roosters who still have 3 million to spend....

I heard at least 5

 

[MadMarcus]

Can I offer him a tissue ?

Why? He’s not allowed to wank.

AFL was OK?

I don't care about his or anyone else's personal opinions either.

But when the personal views are put onto social media in direct contravention of his employment contract (and do harm to any brand he represents) then it is an issue.

He can say what he likes in his inner circle...and when he retires, in any public forum he likes. But when you are paid by and represent an organisation, you tow the company line.

Oh heck I missed that, but its the lesser of all those evils.
