On the pitch he's one of the best wingers in town. Off the pitch who knows? He might well buckle down and as with Kelly for us. IMO worth the risk

Poor - three of those stories do not mention anything to do with any guilty verdict.

So, is this you defending your chairmans hypocrisy?

Firstly, I do not agree with this signing, do not want him at the club.

Secondly regarding hypocrisy, surely that would be promoting a campaign against domestic violence and then signing a convicted wife beater?

Thirdly I know you lot have a downer on our chairman but answer me this has Hudgell ever had to employ a driver?
How do you feel about people who drive under the influence of alcohol?

Er yes he has, went over the points limit when he was caught using a mobile and got banned for 6 months. Being the utter scum that he is I see Hudgell has gone out of his way to have search records for this removed, absolutely typical of this unethical chancer. If anyone drives under the influence of alcohol they deserve everything what the law throws at them - I won't excuse it. Satisified?

Not aimed at you, aimed at people who will use any excuse to have a go at Hudge while seemingly oblivious to, in my opinion, the much more serious transgression than being the chairman of a club who signed a player that many of us do not want representing our club.

I do not like what he did but if the guy helps us to get back to super league great then when is time is up if he has been ok lets worry about it then

More traffic on this forum in 24 hours than the last 3 months. We should sign more "characters", it allows the neighbours to foolishly attempt to get the moral high ground.

Marvellous.

Having spent the last however many months moaning that the club had lost its opportunistic edge and was worried too much about JP's principles, now there's something I'm a little uneasy with ethically, I can only choose which type of hypocrite I want to be.

I'll judge him as I find him, I guess.

From a purely rugby perspective, he should certainly add some strike out wide.

Tim Sheens has come out and defended him, with the knowledge that he has known him and his family for many years. Whilst we all seek to find the moral high ground, I for one am willing to give him a chance, there is no doubt he is a class player, and we would have been mightily hacked off if a few months down the line when he was potentially coming up against us in the 8's and we then found out we could have signed him but turned the offer down. There would have been calls about our efforts is signing class players etc etc. All this is of course hypothetical but I much prefer to have him with us than against us.
