Catalans Dragons have dismissed reports Israel Folau has turned his back on the club and could leave the Super League

21 January 2021 - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

Dragons coach Steve McNamara says he has kept in regular contact with Folau, who remains committed but needs to remain in Australia for personal reasons as well as restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
