i don't understand where your coming from

I agree that players should receive some sort of punishment, however i think it should be the clubs responsibility to do this. If Warrington had any players that broke laws such as assault, breaking and entering or drugs offenses, I would like to se the club sack these players not "support them through this difficult time". I do agree with the point about which offenses should be punished, but I would hope that the club could use it's better judgement to realize what actions are unacceptable for a professional player.

where are you coming from?

When i say serious laws, i mean not traffic law or a little drunk and disorderly in bridge street.

Why should there be any leniency just because you only have a short career.

If i commited a crime and i was a police man for 20 years would i say "well be lenient and don't fire me i don't know any other career"

End of the day Tough Sh--

I say that clubs should not stick by these players regardless of how good they are.
I can think of a certain 4 at the moment

if its serious enough they'll be inside anyway, if they aren't then they are free to earn a living, to quote the meerkats ad "SIMPLES"

With a criminal conviction you simply are not allowed to be in certain professions
i just think this should be one of them.

Do ya know where your coming from,









go on dianna ross.

Little bit over the top there, I mean we're talking Rugby players here not the bIoody home sec!

Violent criminals should be locked up for a good 15 years anyroad, so yes.

An actual court transcript......

"After shouting insults at his wife, Mr X grabbed her arm, causing three bruises. "

the world is in an absolute shambles and we have lost all sense of what is a serious crime and what is not.......


Imagine its a Saturday night and some scrote from Longford rings 999 and said theres a bloke just grabbed a womans arm and called her a dirty slut.....

can you imagine the response.....

would you stand for that if that was your daughter/wife/mother/grandmother/sister

i know i wouldn't
there is more to assault than just bruises

the transcript is only partial and doesn't go into the context of the argument.

as for should they be allowed to play, well that is surely the job of a RFL panel to discide as to whether convicted players have brought the game into disrepute. baring in mind these players are role models to youngsters and are effectively paid entertainers who are recieving our money.

if convicted players are found to have brought the game into disrepute then the RFL should act accordingly.

no unless otherwise stated in the players contract. unless its work related ie bus driver drink driving etc it was completely un related and should be treated as so unless they can not un-forfill their duties ie playing

I say they should be publicly pilloried, stretched on the rack then hung, drawn and quartered. That will teach them.
