I'd give him a week off and let it be known that we were suspending him for a week.

So a job where you are a role model in the community? A job where you have an influence over children who might look up to you and aspire to be like you?

A job like that it would be important to have someone without two convictions for assault I would have thought. You disagree?

Look, saints will make a business decision. Leon is a grest earner for us and his actions will not affect that, so he will be retained. Simple. The morals of this are another question, but its how the world works.

Thats nothing to do with Justice, just how an employer would react, which is business not justice.

So had Pryce not been who he is, with the money he has, and the legal representation he had, he would have got off with the same would he?

No, I don't think so either. Money talks.

He pushed someone, thats it. Get over it. Never ever was he going to prison for that.

If I were to push someone in the street (not saying i would mind) i might get a caution, thats all, if the rozzers didnt just send me home with a flea in my ear.

After the witch hunt on Ben Cockayne, on here and other forums as well as the media, I got to thinking that with all these people commenting and with such a wide spectrum of people, chances are some of them have done far worse in their own life, and possibly without punishment.

And as you have guns in your avatar, I'd rather sit in a room with Pryce than you, as long as it wasn't a pub of course.

So St Helens RLFC are morally unsound? Is that what you just said?

They are not guns, they are gunforks! They are a symbol of peace. Turning guns into tools to create a better world...

Man.

They can skirt round the issue by saying justice is done etc.
I'd rather be morally unsound than have an unsound business thanks.

What makes me laugh about this is that I was blasted for saying what Pryce did wasn't comparable to Feka.

And I was right . . . . . . Feka's was twice as bad according to sentencing

I assume that all the Wiganers saying Saints should have the morals to bad Pryce for a few months will now be asking IL to ban Feka for twice as long as they had in mind.

However, Pryce is lucky and needs to stop acting like a bum. I'm also a little disappointed we don't get to see Wheeler - I hope Saints give Pryce a ban and play Wheeler for a month or so.

wait to see what happens, but according to statements made by the club in the past:

"We make continued and vigorous attempts to positively differentiate our Club and our sport as a family sport. We expect this image to be portrayed by our players, all staff and our supporters."

"No one person is bigger than St Helens Rugby Football Club."

"The long-term name and reputation of the club is paramount and cannot be sacrificed to accommodate the kind of unacceptable behaviour displayed."

"The club, along with all other Super League clubs, has for some time been working extremely hard to promote St Helens as a family club with family values."

"The club is simply not prepared to tolerate this kind of behaviour from any employee. To do so sends the wrong message to staff, players, fans and in particular young fans."
