oh dear

how sad

Ben could still face a punishment from the RFL; http://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... kayne.html Quote:"In accordance with the sport's operational rules, the case of Ben Cockayne will be referred to the RFL compliance department in the light of the sentence handed down to him by the courts in order to consider what action needs to be taken against him and whether any further sanction is necessary.

In a way I think they need to make an example of Cockayne (and Pryce and Reardon when their sentences are known) even if just suspending them for a set period of time simply to send the message to other players that this behaviour isn't condoned and also to reiterate the "family sport" idea of the game and make fans aware that they don't take off the pitch misdemeanour's lightly.

What you talking about?! Was chuffed to bits when heard the news!

Based on the evidence placed before the court, I believe it to be a farce that this young THUG has not been sent to jail.

What he did is disgusting and shocking, he displayed all the traits of a COWARD. A one to one fight is one thing but kicking someone about the head repeatedly whilst on the floor...CONTEMPTIBLE. Had this guy died from this beating Cockayne et al would be facing a murder charge.

All in all...a CONTEMPTIBLE, COWARDLY THUG

Come on Hull K R, we don't need his sort at the club.

Dear oh dear

True though!

O/T Just seen your sig, must disagree, crowd-wise Leeds are still bigger.

He isnt the only player who has been found to be naughty whilst playing for a Hull club though Neil and some would say that was very lenient as well.
Some people have very short memories Neil not you but some in this thread.
Im not stiring it mate just stating facts.

Made me laugh.

It would seem Bens chance for an England cap is back on. If he keeps playing the way he is, and win us the cup as i expect he will play a major part. For me Bens enthusiasm drove us to were we are now. Now he has been let off lightly he should grasp the opportunity and realise the potential he has got.

Cmon Ben.
