And what's that got to do with Eastbourne Warrior being unable to read more than 1 paragraph of a story?

| Isn't his gripe more to do with the fact that Catalans being able to sign players whom can't get a visa in the UK gives them an unfair advantage?
Either way, I couldn't care less.

Oh, so nothing at all to do with what I posted then.
Sorry, my mistake.

I tend to agree.

| The assumption here is that French employment law will grant him a working visa whereas the UK wouldn't, which I'm not sure is the case with Carney (albeit IIRC it was the case with Bird).
Hence, assuming he's legally entitled to work, GH wants to adopt the role of "moral guardian" and try to deny him registration whilst perhaps not being best placed to do so due to the antics of some players at his own club ?????

Quote shinymcshine="in the case of Walker and Bailey, BBC report"
Mr Hetherington ... said: "This has been totally out of character and the players have paid the price.
"It is something they will regret for the rest of their lives and for which they have been severely punished.
"Everybody is capable of making mistakes, that is my reaction to everybody in life.'"
Quote shinymcshine="When Walker and Bailey were released"
Gary Hetherington, the Leeds chief executive, said: "The players are ashamed of their involvement and are full of remorse. Their actions were out of character. All have been at the club from the age of 15 and had an unblemished record.
"They have made a mistake and been punished by the court. We will continue to give our support ..."'"
All of which, btw, seemed reasonably fair enough to me then, and now.

| its weird how much that is brought up. Its almost always against Bailey and Leeds, the tool who started it never gets a mention, its never really thrown at Chev Walker even though both got a stronger punishment than Bailey and is brought up for more frequently than the likes of Paleaaesina or Cockayne, Hull Fans tell me Lee Radford is known to the doormen of Hull for liking a few beers and a scrap as if it is somehow endearing. Odd.
On this, not a great look that some of SL's best imports are Aussies that the NRL has given up on because of poor behaviour so there is a good point there. Saying that Carney shouldnt be de-registered for what he did. If his club wanted to sack him then that is their choice, but what he did wasnt bad enough for him to be deregistered.

| Hethrington needs to just keep quiet. As others have said, he can't complain about Carney when he himself has supported and stuck up for players who have gone to prison. IMO I don't think any chairman can take the moral high ground as I'm sure they've all supported players who've been bad lads in one way or another.
