If not viewed as an employee then on the grounds that no sporting ruling body should treat a player with discrimination. Simply retiring from a code, which it strictly speaking is, cannot be a reasonable basis for poor treatment. A sportspersons future intentions are irrelevant with the proviso that those intentions will not bring the game into disrepute. If Folau is not selected for Origin then a reason for his non-selection must be given if for no other reason than the appearance of honesty. He has told the Rugby League world he is retiring at the end of the season to pursue other goals, no different to Darren Lockyer saying it, none whatsoever. Many footballers retire before first grade . Weakening the Origin team to punish Folau and make a statement is plainly dumb. Including him says we stay solid with our players and always wish them the best whatever their futures. We Queenslanders have always felt loyalty to our boys, not selecting Folau for retiring is something the Cockies would do, we've always been bigger than that, not so bloody petty. [/QUOTE]
