"There is a strong feeling that the decision to sign him lets down many people connected to our sport. I made Catalans Dragons aware of those views. However, Super League does not have the authority to veto the registration of players and is satisfied by the due diligence carried out by The Rugby Football League.
"Israel Folau is a free agent, who has the right to work, and he has not been charged or found guilty of any criminal offence. Catalans Dragons has assured Super League that strict guidelines are in place to prevent the player from repeating his comments. They have also assured us that his contract will be terminated immediately should he do so."
However, Catalans chairman Bernard Guasch has stated that his club wanted to give Folau a "new opportunity" but do not share the player's religious beliefs.
"We do not share or condone those views and we are totally committed to our club and our sport being open and welcoming to everyone," Guasch said.
"We do not believe that those views should be publicly expressed, especially by a high-profile sports person. We have a signed agreement with the RFL.
"Any transgression will trigger an immediate termination of Israel's contract and a substantial fine for the club."
