Did you not retain Clarke?

I'll just nip for a brew while he looks for another angle to justify his double standards.



Note to self: It's unfair to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man.

Didn't he play for Wigan when it happened went to prison then played for Broncos and had had all his punishments.
Still don't agree and we signed him under the same circumstances as hull signing reardon (injury crisis) but i don't hire and fire

if i did i wouldn't have touched him or any other thug for that matter

He did play for us, he did learn from it.

It's a society problem and pretty much every club is guilty of employing players with some kind of violent past, gone are the days when it could be brushed under the carpet.

Yes Bobbin Along is right with double standards and blinkers etc but the reality is it's a society problem. Do RL act like the NRL or brush it under the carpet like Soccer.

One thing for sure, the players need to be educated how to deal with situations and it's consequences, they make mistakes they deal with the consequences not instantly given another contract.

If we dig far enough, won't it turn out that most teams have players with a 'colourful' past? Unless the RFL ban people, then I have no problem with any player making a living, much like anyone else.

Well said. It seems that rehabilitation is not high on some people's list of priorities.
