You are absolutely spot on

Wasn't sure about Cockayne, but, after watching him on sunday I think he's worth a chance. When all that handbag malarky was going off Cockayne didn't jump straight into the middle of it like he would have at one time.He did get involved during the match when "appropriate" though.

Congratulations on spectacularly missing the point.

sorry , if i have missed some point . please point it to me . its not very helpful if i dont get it to try to start a tit for tat.

some come with issues , some leave with issues . if only we had the ultimate crystal ball. if he had been found not guilty it would not of proven his innocence only that the prosecution had little to offer which is what happens in many cases like this as unbelievably they will have witnesses who try to make out the girl is lying .

i do get your point that once again whilst we should be hitting front pages with news of record ticket sales the fact that your first thought is we should think first as a club is not a first thought that comes to my mind . still as they say different horses for different courses .

what a dimwit... a good prospect and great career thrown down the toilet, the lad had natural ability but what kind of a goon glasses anyone never mind a woman... throw away the key please.

He's also been put on the sex offenders register for 7 years.

Scumbag!

Of course every headline will have Wakefield in it. When they were weighing up this signing, they got it completely wrong. Innocent until proven guilty of course, but he wasn't our player at the time of the incident, yet we still took him on.

We took him on because of the point you yourself raised, he was innocent until proven guilty.
Personally i would prefer we didnt involve ourselves with such people, cockayne and latu included, but at some point the players value comes into play (as it will with chase, at some point) and clubs take a punt, to refuse a player on the grounds of alleged guilt or even a conviction, because of such things as the rehabilitation of offenders act and employment law, makes things very dodgy.
You only have to look through the playing rostas in SL and the NRL to see clubs are littered with convicted criminals and players who have served lengthy bans for one reason or another to see that this is hardly something new and probably just a reflection of society in general.
The point is, if there is one, the club could do better, but everyones at it, and it is the individual that has the biggest say in such matters.

Yet if I punched one of the 15yo's making our lives hell over the last 5 years I'd get 6 years.
