He wanted his contract money and apology. he got both. the other stuff was just posturing.
RA got out of it cheaper and saved a bit of face by not being proven to be in the wrong, and got that weird apology from Folau even though im sure hed already publicly done the 'sorry if youre offended'/not sorry apology.


im no fan of his bullshit but its hard to see Folau as anything but the 'winner' in this.

now, as for his future. you just know some team is gonna go after him, maybe not here but OS there are plenty of places that wouldnt care one bit about his social media nonsense.
Ok, I thought someone said they only paid him about $300k a year for the remainder of his contract length. 4 years or something? So $1.2 million.


But even at $4 million, they got rid of something that was gonna hurt their brand. They'll learn a lesson and tighten up their contracts from now on.

Also, he's only going to get a game over in the US or some European comp and be forgotten forever bar the odd meme.
