and breaking the law whilst on a suspended sentence for aggrevated racial assault?

Personally, it depends on what the person has done, and how this affects the fact that they are a 'role-model' to young fans of the game. If I had a child, I wouldn't want them in a Reardon, Cockayne or L. Pryce shirt. (and not because they play for other clubs).

But i do count somethings as being worse than others.

But you yourself are happy to have Sean Long as your avatar?

It appears Bradford are putting together a half decent squad for next season. With a good coach in Potter, I'd expect it to be a lot more rosey at Odsal next year than it has been.

Thats true, its a good job the RFL aren't stupid enough to give their failed coach the England coaches job! Oh........hang on a sec!

LOL

Shh, that's just something called bias. [sizeor not knowing every little detail of every player. i get the irony though. [/size

What next? A bit of George Michael on vocals before the games?

and playing Union

Putting the fact that the guy is in prison to one side for a second, I thought that one of the goals of the franchise system was to discourage clubs from signing 32 year olds to one year deals?

And when they said 'Is that it?' he can say 'Well I was previously bound over for assault with racial undertones as well'.

Give the bloke a break FFS.

He's done his time (or will have come next season) and for all the holier than thou's on here, try walking a mile in someone else's shoes

Oh no! don't tell me the bu**er's pinched somebodies shoes aswell.

Apparently for some people sportsmen aren't entitled to the same rights as everyone else - i.e. to carry on with their lives after being punished by the law for an offence. No, thats not enough, they need to be stripped of their livelihood as well.
