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

Cut out the personal insults. Carlos.

St Helens RLFC are a business first and foremost. No business on the planet is going to stay at the top of the tree by sacking their best performers because they pushed someone over, it just isn't going to happen. Pryce was a muppet for being there in the first place and had he done something serious, for example a vicious assault, unprovoked against a defenseless person then I suspect action would be taken. Leon Pryce has pleaded guilty to the assault of pushing somebody over who held a bat in an aggressive manner. He has been found guilty of nothing else regardless of the hysteria people like yourself blow out of your backside on here. Indeed, if Pryce was still a Bradford player I suspect you wouldn't be spouting the nonsense that you currently are.

Get over it.

If someone had shoulder barged your door down would you not be holding a baseball bat in an aggressive manner?!

I'm pretty sure if Pryce was still a Bradford player would you be calling for him to be sacked too.

Rose tinted spectacles anyone?!?

Touchy.

I've nothing to get over. I have no issues with the sentence really. It's the attitude of the clubs and the fans thats a bit much. You can excuse anything because he is one of your prize players. That's up to you really.
What nonsense am I spouting? He has been found guilty of assault thats a fact. Twice in fact.
I only see one hysterical person on here. It aint me.

Suspending him until he's done the 100 hours of non-paid work.

That'll be 20 hrs a week.

5 weeks suspended.

Seems fair, but Saints won't enforce it.

Glad Pryce isn't going down, but this should be his final warning, I hope he's learnt his lesson.

Clearly some people can't read.

He didn't touch the door. Reardon is the one accused of the door business.

All Pryce did was push the boyfriend, he fell and knocked himself on the peddle bin. Way hay. Obviously, Pryce should be hanged at dawn from the scaff.

All this up their own a$$ self-righteousness on these boards makes me wanna puke. Would love to know just how many of the self-righteous hoards have gone over the speed limit, drunk alcohol or smoked under age, had a splif, dropped litter, let their dogs poop on the pavement, left their kid alone in the house when under the age of 16, let their kids drink under age or skive off school, in fact, any number of offences for which they could be fined, dished out community service or sent down, depending.

Anyone would think there are a billion squeeky clean individuals out there the way they rant on about one bloke pushing another. Un-fecking-believable.

Glad Pryce isn't going down. He certainly shouldn't have, given the relative minor nature of his crime (pushing a bloke).

100 hours unpaid sorting out my back yard in just his shorts should do well, thankyouverymuch!

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if they did ban him.

Give him a rest, get Wheeler/Eastmond some game time.

If it were me I'd ban him for a month.

What a load of poop.
Precidents have been set in the past by clubs like Hull F.C,Leeds,Wigoon.
Why should we be any different.
Dont talk about morals etc, you just want us to bin him so It would harm Saints. Then your club would do their best to sign him the day after we sack him.

if pryce gets any more punishment it will only probably be a week unpaid work or somethin like that
