Stuart Reardon, 27, had admitted assaulting his estranged wife Kay after finding out she was seeing another man.

He was given a 12-week suspended sentence at Bradford Magistrates' Court.

His fellow rugby star Leon Pryce, also 27, was ordered to do 100 hours unpaid work.

He had pleaded guilty to assaulting Mrs Reardon's new partner in the same incident.

So Leon gets away with it again, he must feel immune to the law by now.

Were you in court?

Do you know the full story?

Thought not so i'd suggest you refrain from those kind of ridiculous remarks.

Given that the judge had previously said he was minded to go with a custodial sentence, an order of community service does appear to be "getting away" with it somewhat, especially taking into account Leon is not a man with an unblemised character.

However, having not been in court for one second of the trial I don't think it's right to start spouting off about the sentence, I'm sure the judge took all factors into account before handing down his decision.

One final thought - given that HKR suspended Cockayne until he's completed his sentence, does anybody think Saints will do the same?

Not a chance

Not a chance

Er NO

Cockhead brutally beat someone up. Pryce was just defending himself against a man armed with a rounders bat.

its not right though is it?
if we did what they did... what would happen to us? obviously a totally different thing.

Yet both got the same sentence?

If you went round to somebody's house in a domestic dispute and pushed them "causing them to stumble" what do you think would happen? I'll give you a clue: Nowt.

They didn't did they? I though Cockayne got a suspended jail sentence and community service, Pryce just got community service.

I hate to agree with the snivelly little troll, but the offences were hardly the same.

Was that before or after Leon and his chum had smashed down the door?
