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.

It would seem Bens chance for an England cap is back on. If he keeps playing the way he is, and win us the cup as i expect he will play a major part. For me Bens enthusiasm drove us to were we are now. Now he has been let off lightly he should grasp the opportunity and realise the potential he has got.

Cmon Ben.

I believe it wasn't the first time Raynor had been in trouble with the law but failed to find a similar post from you criticising him.

Double standards me think.

Im actualy not.
Both clubs have thugs in their ranks but I would assume both clubs will stick by them some on this thread seem to have forgotten that fact.
Each club have/will have made their own decisions and will live with them.
I will say that the RFL getting involved may open a can of worms they may want to keep shut tbh!

Won't be the last either.
