All seems reasonable to me:
There is an investigation in law ongoing - therefore that is being respected with privacy and that is right and proper.
Secondly, regardless of if Richie is charged (which he isnt yet and being charged is still an acre away from being convicted or in fact guilty bear in mind) he has admitted and the club have sanctioned him becuase guilty or not, he has breached a proprtion of his responsibilities and as such a sanction is warranted.
Without judging on the rights and wrongs, I have had my say on the thread already abotu this - I fail to see in a society that has an innocent until proven guilty justice system what anyone else wants to see? Civic justice is doing its thing, but regardless of that the club has moved quickly to punish a player and he has moved quickly to be contrite and apologise and say as much as he can for the moment.
Seems a very positive position at the moment, door still open if some allegation is proved for further action/statement. End of story.

"Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall"
"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39793.jpg |

I think you've summed it up well; the club appear to have done everything they can reasonably do at this stage.
As for the bit in bold - has anyone called for anything more? I don't see a great deal of moralistic outrage about this case and from what I've read, apart from reasonable comments about the follishness of young men in drink, there doesn't seem to be a mob baying for blood.
It reminds me a bit of our own handling of the Gregg Johnson case last season; he was subject to a police investigation and rightly, the club didn't apply any sanctions until that investigation was concluded - when it was and it found him guilty of a serious assault, he was dismissed. |

It ain't uncommon for lads to get involved in a fracas on nights out /take drugs / have an affair/ drink and drive / etc etc etc. There must be thousands of such incidents every night of the week . Some happen to involve people who are considered to be public figures .
Yes they should know better , but so should your average Joe .
We all make mistakes . I have made some of biblical proportion in my life .
Some people really need to lose their holier than thou attitude . The fall from those high horses can be very painful so I hear .
Ditto regarding Hull .
I hope for Richards sake he learns lessons and quickly.

It would be interesting what some of their holier than thou posters would say if, for example Ben Cockcayne scored the game clinching try in the Good Friday game,or clinched a play off place / Wembley final place etc  |

A genuine question here - where are you seeing all this supposed 'holier than thou' stuff about Owen from WTW fans? I've just had another look on our board and there's nothing of the sort.
