Leon Pryce has pleaded guilty to the assault of pushing somebody over who held a bat in an aggressive manner.

Come off it. He broke into someone's house (regardless of whether he or Reardon did the shoulder barge on the door).

If two beefcakes bust into my house, pushed me over and manhandled my girlfriend I'd be a) pretty traumatised, and b) expecting some justice to be handed down.

He's a very lucky boy in my opinion.

To be fair, I wasn't complaining about the sentence, I was responding to posts that were playing down the incident as nothing.

I do think it could have been a lot worse for him though - I'd be a relieved man were I in his shoes.

You can believe that all you want, and play the victim card, however Hull KR were under pressure from fans to punish Cockayne, which they did. Wire were under pressure to punish Reardon, which they did. Hull got terrible stick for signing Reardon, even from their own fans, they have now released him.
You are getting the same stick that other clubs who's players have recently been involved in incidents.

Sure, some fans go over the top, however we have seen action taken by the other clubs (Wire and Cas sacked players, Hull KR suspended one while he does his community service), let's see what Saints' response is.

Laughable,the reason wire got rid of Reardon was nothing to do with the reasons you stated.
Theyve wanted rid for a while and jumped at this chance,shame on em.

You signed a player whilst still banned over betting on his own team, get off your high horse.

I cant beleive the hypocracy by the fans of some clubs here.
Wigan - Feka got longer punishment for a more serious crime
Leeds - Players went to prison for a much more serious assault
Wire - Signed Gleeson on a ban for gambling

Non of these clubs punished the players involved further, why should we?

the reason seems to be that saints are too good and loosing Pryce would damage their team, but noone will admit that.

Just because other clubs have no moral values, why shouldn't we?

As Pryce is doing by doing community service so what is your point?
