Thats what i said looks good coz if Cas are holding an inq then police wont be involved !

Hoping the gossip is a case of the "Chinese Whispers"... and the inquiry by the club is a new, tough stance by the club and coach and a warning about conduct to other squad members.

Have there been any reports in the press prior to Cas announcing the internal hearing? I'm not aware of any but it might explain why Cas would announce the fact they are holding an internal hearing.

Alternatively, the incident was so cut and dry that the police concluded their investigation in short order and now Cas are free to carry out their own internal procedure (which I'm available to help with, at very reasonable rates!)

Alledgedly scrapping in Pontefract on Christmas night....with blokes dressed as Santa. Taken to police station. Police investigating.

Sounds like his tatoos have taken over his brain like a certain other Cas player

Bang outta order breaking santas jaw,no presents for him next year !

If he has done something wrong then he should be treated like anyone else in this situation, but there are lots of questions that make a difference to the outcome.
Was he attacked and just defending himself
Were the other guys too drunk to stand up?
Did they give Owen a belt too it just happens that he can punch harder.

It's not enough for the forum jury to convict yet.

My only issue is, what was he doing there. As a pro rugby player he should really be out drinking day before a game. I assume he wasn't playing, but there is an image question rather than physical fitness after drinking.
He'd be better going somewhere quieter, or where he isn't known.....but that's just me.

I generally don't care when stupid people do stupid things to themselves, but this kind of behaviour has a direct negative impact on others and as such, is wholly unnacceptable.

Just hope the lad who ended up in hospital is ok - as you know, a punch to the head from a professional strength athlete is not to be taken lightly.

Alternatively we can just let the police do there job and deal with it as they have the facts Yes Facts,
Or the TrinityTrolls can use it to wip up more anti Cas press. Is this because if you discredit Cas enough it will save Wakey If NM fails ?? Sad

O"dear NGB4C and his tattoos - ignore him we do.For what its worth if it was a serious he would still be banged up.Yes someone has a broken jaw but did the guy start it and could not finish it.Had Owen been on the bottle or just lemonade non of us know as we wernt in Ponty at the time.It will all come out in the wash and the club will/will not punish him accordingly simple as.

No need to be so touchy binks - this has got nothing to do with club colours in my eyes; drunken brawls in the street are a bad thing, regardless of who's involved.

Exactly until we know what has happened it stupid to be acting as judge and jury on here, wait for the facts to come out then comment.

Exactly right. Let the investigations take place and when all the facts are known then let the punishment fit the crime.
