does anyone know if there were charged for anything else initially which was dropped or replaced with a lesser charge? im suprised they didnt get charged with burglary
fyi - you don't even need to touch someone to cause assault, its the threat of violence which someone has cause to fear (roughly)

After beating a door down, all Stu Reardon and Leon Pryce did was hold an arm and push a guy over? Are you serious??? I find it hard to believe they'd get convicted of assault just for that. I held a guy back when crossing the road the other day, he nearly walked out infront of a car. The grip i had on his arm must have caused some sort of bruising but i'd hardly class that as assault.
The story doesn't quite match up in my opinion. It starts by the animosity of shoulder barging a door down and then once through that door the angels start singing and they all do the okey cokey.
Stop accusing people of made up things,
Could you not of held the man back without causing bruising?? or did you hit him with you car and the truth hasn,t come out as your story doesn't match up

THIS is the cold, hard proof that stranded back-rower Michael Crocker is on the verge of signing with South Sydney.
As club sources insisted an announcement was "imminent", The Daily Telegraph can today reveal a private email to Rabbitohs chief executive Shane Richardson from sponsor McGrath Estate Agents outlining a lucrative third-party offer to Crocker.
The agreement is almost identical to the one involving Craig Wing that has fallen apart and has the Souths star sniffing out alternative deals elsewhere. As revealed in the email sent from McGrath sales manager Stuart Rutherford to Richardson last Friday, Crocker will earn $25,000 a year and has the potential to make more if he attracts new clients.

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

Yes you do. The court transcript is a matter of public record now that sentencing has occurred. You can check directly on what was said and done by reading the court record.

Firstly, Reardon's wife opened the door and then Reardon pushed his way in, apparently damaging the door in the process. Pryce didn't do anything to the door or to Reardon's wife. He pushed O'Brien, Reardon's wife's new bloke, who fell over into the peddle bin.
And yes, it is perfectly possible to be done for an assault like that. Section 39 assault - common assault - is anything from an unwanted hand on your arm to a punch across the face. That's the nature of the charge.
And for the record, the RFL are going to investigate, just as they did with Cockayne and Reardon. It is not expected that they will punish Pryce any further and why should they? He has 100 hours of community service and a formal warning from Saints (which generally means a sacking if anything else happens). That's perfectly adequate for pushing a bloke.
However, that doesn't stop people from all clubs not only booing Pryce repeatedly like he's a murderer but also wanting him strung up. I don't hear any reaction like that to any other of our felons, and we have a fair few still playing who have done worse than Pryce.

Firstly, I'd sooner see Terry Newton strung before Pryce, and also, did O'Brien actually fall into the peddle bin? That would have been worth seeing.
