It's what most sports clubs do

I know it's a bit different but look at ashley cole the other week
He got an £80 fine by the police and chelsea then fined him 2 weeks wages

Agree that it should go to charity the club shouldn't gain from his actions

Edited for accuracy

Agree with these comments plus although sledging during games is fairly frequent with all teams at some point I`m sure there will be some players trying that bit extra to wind him up now

Hope he serves his CS well and makes a real difference to those less fortunate doing whatever work he has to and continues his very impressive form on the pitch

oh dear



how sad

Quote Matty="Matty"Ben could still face a punishment from the RFL; www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... kayne.html'" This could set a precedent for all cases in the future where players end up in court and found guilty. In a way I think they need to make an example of Cockayne (and Pryce and Reardon when their sentences are known) even if just suspending them for a set period of time simply to send the message to other players that this behaviour isn't condoned and also to reiterate the "family sport" idea of the game and make fans aware that they don't take off the pitch misdemeanour's lightly.

What you talking about?!



Was chuffed to bits when heard the news!

Based on the evidence placed before the court, I believe it to be a farce that this young THUG has not been sent to jail.

What he did is disgusting and shocking, he displayed all the traits of a COWARD. A one to one fight is one thing but kicking someone about the head repeatedly whilst on the floor...CONTEMPTIBLE. Had this guy died from this beating Cockayne et al would be facing a murder charge.

All in all...a CONTEMPTIBLE, COWARDLY THUG

Come on Hull K R, we don't need his sort at the club.

Dear oh dear

True though!



O/T Just seen your sig, must disagree, crowd-wise Leeds are still bigger.

He isnt the only player who has been found to be naughty whilst playing for a Hull club though Neil and some would say that was very lenient as well.
Some people have very short memories Neil not you but some in this thread.
Im not stiring it mate just stating facts.

Made me laugh.
