NRL stars Benji Marshall and James Graham do not see a way for Israel Folau to return to rugby league.

Folau was stood down by Rugby Australia for his religiously-motivated social media post last week and has since been linked to a return to the NRL.

However, two of rugby league's most respected stars Marshall and Graham do not believe Folau can return to the league.

โ€œItโ€™s up to Todd (Greenberg), really, and from what Toddโ€™s come out and said about how theyโ€™ve backed up same-sex marriage, I donโ€™t think that will be allowed,โ€ Marshall toldย NRL 360ย onย Fox League.

โ€œIโ€™m all for freedom of speech but when you use your freedom of speech against hating โ€” Iโ€™m not for that.โ€

Graham also disagreed with the comments.

โ€œI really canโ€™t see him being allowed to play rugby league for what he said,โ€ Graham said.

โ€œReading what he said after it, thereโ€™s no apology, I just canโ€™t see a way back for him and I think thatโ€™s quite sad to be honest with you.โ€

  1. I would like to know how telling the truth is hateful. All Christian religions teach the same belief that having a like for like relationship is not Biblical therefore if you choose that life style then it is against the Word of God

  2. With Easter right on our door step shouldnโ€™t we all remember that the saviour of the world who died on Good Friday and was resurrected on Easter Sunday told people to tell others and spread the gospel. How can Christians spread the truth if they are gagged.

  3. Why does Australia even bother to celebrate Easter when you might offend the minority. What is going on in this planet How long will it be that we have a mixed woman and men NRL playing group because the butchy woman want equality to test their ability. Get prepared everybody its coming๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿคช๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿฅด

  4. And I would like to know how telling the truth is hateful๐ŸŽฑ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿฅด

  5. Why does the government allow hypocritical standards when they allow the Christian majority of Australians Public Holidays for the Birth, Death and Resurrection of Christ yet they do not want people to tell others what is right and what is wrong according to the Word of God.๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿฅด๐ŸŽฑ They the offended ones to the truth are allowed to bombard us with their life choices but we are not allowed to say anything back. Whyโ“โ”โ“โ”โ“โ”

  6. Look personally I hope they don’t allow Israel Folau into Rugby League for my selfish purposes only. Because souffffths will end up with him having 1.5 million to spend. But for the purpose of standing up for the truth. I’m willing to except Israel back into the fold even with a green and red jumper on his body. And he will be the only souffffths player I will ever cheer for.๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ‘

  7. Be interesting to see what the reaction would have been if folau was m u s l i m & said what he said. Very interesting indeed.
    Anyhoo never fear woody, uncle nick may be working behind the scenes for you as we speak.

  8. Soon Christmas and easter will be banned because the social justice warriors will be complaining they’re feelings are hurt…

  9. Spot on. The Moslems stone that particular group of people to death in many of their countries. Including heter0sexua1 adultery.
    We might have a wing vacancy but we would have to release Morris, Hall, Tupou, Ikuvalu and boom rookie Bernard Lewis. We have plenty of wingers, soufffffths are his best bet, they have the free cash and a vacant position and are desperate to add to their “TRANSIT LOUNGE”๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿ˜‚

  10. When is the Government willing to give us a Rainbow ๐ŸŒˆ Warrior public holiday.โ“โ”โ“โ”โ“โ” The NRL will celebrate with a FA1RY Round๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ˜ Front rowers with leotards and wings charging into each other.
