Not disputing that at all..however 2 clubs involved,media,national audience..recipe for disaster

I notice the HDM has it's hate campaign in full swing.

Whilst I cannot condone the incident, I dont think anyone deserves trial by media.

its not as isolated as you may think, and the sport is not as squeeky clean as a lot of people like to make out. like i said, tommorows chip paper.

I know have followed rl for 30 yrs

me for 20, and your point is?

I thought you never read any press?

Why do you just want to argue with posters

Had you followed my posts I was discussing the media circus which now surronds KR & Cockayne. I believe the fact Cas have acted has placed pressure on KR, 2 clubs 2 sets of standards etc..

I do not agree with the media circus..I am aware it is not isolated incident as I have watched the sport for 30 yrs and I am more than aware of off field antics, decent posters can debate this, you however seem unable to do this

I agree.

Now let him get on with playing rugby.

2 years in prison would have cost the tax payers thousands.

Make him do his CS down west hull teaching kids to read.

Crocker's punishment was a £300 fine for what's been described as a "scuffle". I don't recall reports of him inflicting 7 broken ribs, a broken nose and severe head swelling on anyone, but if you can post a link, fair enough.

Unfortunately RL players have a track record of getting into trouble with nightclub scuffles and the like and both Hull clubs have their fair share. IMO, the clubs (FC included) and the RFL have let them off too lightly with the old "dealt with internally" whitewash. Even you must see, though, that this one, with the sustained and brutal nature of the attack and its consequences in terms of injuries, tips into a different category.

Nor me trace, you're wright the HDM is no ne better tha gutter press all my family have alreaady stopped buying it, most of what you read in it thes days is rubbish anyway, it certainly is not the quality paper it used to be once upon a time.
