as said before can't defend what he's done, but, unfortunately this sort of thing happens week in week out, he's been sentenced, deal with it!

If Rovers do take the action of sacking him, I hope they get the RFL to refuse any other club permission to sign him, if not what would be the point, the player will not be punished just the club. I would imagine Rovers will take advice from the RFL and if they say they cannot prevent him signing elswhere, why would we sack him.

Eh? Why should i get over not liking thugs like that to be walking the street still. It could have been anyone of us, would you be getting over it if was a relative of yours or your child for example? I know youre not defending it, but to say get over it is almost doing the same. Our legal system is pathetic.
Ive worked in town for a number of years and have seen incidents like this. Ive also seen a far less severe incident lead in death. Cockayne is a lucky boy, and a rovers player or not i would have been a little annoyed about this as you can tell.

If Rovers are comfortable having an out and out thug in their squad then fine, leave them to it.

I'm happy to back whatever decision Hull KR make. If Ben stays, I'll support him as a Hull KR player, if he goes then he is of no interest to me.
Dont think Rovers or Hull need to even be mentioned here. Its not Rovers fault that he's done what he's done. The simple matter here is that he has. If he worked for me i wouldnt want him tarnishing my companies name and would dismiss him for gross misconduct. Rovers must make a statement of intent here, Rugby League doesnt need this.
