not sacked for long hull s just signed him

yeah, bad taste on hulls behalf, they could have waited for the outcome of the sentencing hearing

Really, Well send him down him down if he has previous for sexually assaulting fellow players, embarrassing RL as well...add another 10 years to his sentance. He should get life for those cheap shots. Take your blinkers off.

It wasn't. Burglary was never a charge. Violent entry was, but the prosecution brought no evidence. According to reports, Reardon's wife opened the door to Reardon, who then pushed past his then wife with Pryce following.



Deano G - I read the reports ages ago. Judges pontificate. I'll wait and see by how much when the sentencing is handed down on 23rd.



It's appearing at a domestic violence court because it was an incident between a husband and his then wife. I'm not commenting on their marriage because if she's off shagging another bloke before they are even divorced then that tells me there is something unhappy between them and so this could be as much about her having a go at him via the courts as about him lashing out at her. Domestic issues can be very complicated.



PS: Just to make sure you know - I'm female, so don't go thinking I'm a bloke wanting to swing at women or whatever.

I'm amazed that you had previously read the reports since you seem to think there were no domestic violence issues around Pryce's offence. Are you now retreating from that position?



By the way, I have NEVER referred to Reardon's marriage.



You should think very carefully about your posts, the third paragraph could be read - I'm sure you didn't intend it to - as being an excuse for domestic violence. Whether or not a woman is "off shagging another bloke before they are even divorced" is irrelevant. A woman has the right not to be assaulted by her ex/partner. End of story. It isn't "complicated" at all.

Were you rallying against Greg Bird's signing when IL said he made an offer? Are you boycotting Catalans after they signed a man not only accused of domestic violence, but getting a mate to take the blame for it?



Do you rally against Leo-Latu playing SL after he broke a woman's nose?



Or are you only interested in Saints players?



Nobody is disputing that what they did was wrong - that's why they went to Court. It's why they pleaded guilty. It's why they're awaiting sentencing. It's why Saints will then take further action.



But don't pretend your moral stance has nothing to do with it being a top Saints player, because you would be barely interested otherwise.

Whether you like it or not, this is a big story, and people are going to talk about it. You can write that off of as Wigan fans being snidey if it makes you feel better, but it isn't just Wigan fans and you know it.



You yourself are bouncing about on this issue like a cat on hot bricks, so your attempts to gag people are a bit unconvincing.

Don't want to gag anyone and I care not what happens to Pryce either at sentencing or subsequently - no bouncing there, quite straightforward. If he goes to jail or we decide to sack him and go with Wheeler/Eastmond - fine by me. And of course it is a big story - Leon Pryce is a big name.



What makes me laugh is the notion that the St Helens club are somehow immoral and complicit in Pryce's actions - especially when IL tried to sign someone accused of domestic violence of a much more grave nature (according to the charges) only weeks ago.

Attempts to change the subject won't cut it either. This thread is about Reardon and Pryce. If you want to talk about something else (that never even happened) start a new thread - preferably on your own board, where you're only likely to hear sanitised views about Saints players (which, if you were ever there, you'd already realise).

The first post of this thread asks about Saints response to Pryce's actions and many more relate to Saints' moral stance on the issue. It is not a change of subject to compare one club's stance with that of another - indeed Saints' actions have consistently been compared to those of Cas/KR so it seems to be acceptable one way.



I don't care for sanitised views - my views on Pryce are more damning than most and if he never sees a red vee again I won't lose any sleep. I am just interested in the apparent hypocrisy of chastising Saints for not sacking a player for domestic violence whilst ignoring Wigan's attempts to sign another accused of worse.



And what never even happened? Are you saying IL didn't make an offer for Bird? Or that he hasn't been charged with maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm and assault occasioning actual bodily harm for allegedly glassing his girlfriend?

THIS THREAD IS GETTING TEDIOUS......AND I THOUGHT IT WAS STILL SUB-JUDICE????

It is, but now mathers has gone it was all saints fault
