2 facts that appear to be forgotten!
1) the lad that was injured received mere cuts and bruises (not condoning by the way)
2) The injured party contacted Ben Cockayne and asked if he wanted to do 'deal' to save going to court.
How injured was the injured?
the coward went back for seconds to make sure he was hurt , and you say your not condoning it, and you come on here with your numbered excuses. pathetic

So this means kicking someone whilst they are down o.k. then.Yes I do have morals and giving someone a good kicking with the aid of a mate is not good in my book.I would have had the same views if this coward had been an F.C. player.

Where does it say it is OK???? My point is there is accuracy in reporting the whole issue....
zandor46 - as for me numbering up the points I thought you'd be used to that with your defence.

I'm as much a Hull KR fan as the next guy, and before actually seeing the video the other day I was "tryin" to defend the guy in terms of he has been given his punishment blah blah.
But when I saw the video, my view changed, and I see the only way is to begrudgingly sack the player (begrudgingly cos of his quality) or slap a very heavy suspension on him.
As a club we need to do something that shows that we like the rest of the rl world, don't condone such behaviour

Yes they have, but to be fair he was a second tier player, i doubt the outcome would have been the same had it been one of their top players like Joe westerman for instance.
As part of Ben Cockaynes punishment, he should be required to go into the schools and preach to the kids that it is unacceptable for someone to carry out this kind of act and the consequences of doing so, thats after he's made a grovelling apology to the club and the fans for letting them down.The same applies to players of other clubs who have been found guilty of crimes that bring shame upon themselses, their clubs and their fans.
