Well done Cas!

Serves him right.

Although i know him quite well and a few years ago he was a good friend

I fully applaud Cas for how they have handled this

Also, although knowing Ben quite well too i would hope that HKR/RFL take the same action

Watching that CCTV footage is frightening. Pair of cowardly thugs. He's lucky not to be in jail and there's no way he should still have a job.

Think he is lucky to be still at liberty! Glad to see Cas taking the hard line and setting an example to the rest of the SL.

But......

Would you do the same if it was Mcgoldrick or Sherwin or shenton?

With it being a reserve it does make it easier to reach this conclusion

That'll be why Raynor is still employed by Hull FC, right?

Irrelevant question - If they acted like these thugs they wouldn't be the people they are. However, to answer what I think was your meaning... yes.

What do you have to do to get sent down nowadays ?

Community service

Although possibly not of the same ferocity , Matt Calland is still in a job at Halifax after a conviction for an assault.

I have just watched that video, it turn my stomach sick.

Drink or no drink there is no doubt these 2 men should have been jailed.

I'm disgusted with british justice.

I just hope the lad recovered and had no long term damage.

That was disgusting.

Got to agree with you guys That CCTV footage is fully disgusting 2 on 1 the other club [ushould [/udo the right thing

Should of been sent down for that . Well done Cas .

Glad we didn't try and get him now at the start of the season, i know we have had our fair share of trouble makers but that is absolutely cowardly and sickenining and he doesn't deserve to be a player in our respected rugby family IMO. He isn't fit enough to be a role model infront of people who look upto him, young prospects and rugby players alike.

Feel free to tell me im going over the top but am i? This week should of opened peoples eyes not only with Cokayne but also Pryce and Reardon. Also which i find sad is for is cowardly act, a young talent as now had is contract rightly ripped to shreds!

Fully agree with Castlefords decision to terminate his contract, it was a sickening attack and will serve him right if he never get a chance to progress his career.

Last weekend the Independent did a piece having a go at Rugby League for allowing a player (Pryce) who had just admitted an assault charge and been warned by the jduge he faced a custodial sentence to continue to play pending sentencing.

At first I thought it was another example of the national press only paying attention to rugby league when it's to stick the boot in, but on reflection I think the writer had a point. If any top footballer was in the same circumstances would there not be an outcry if he was allowed to play - I think there would!

Gerrard?

Not on the available evidence, no.

Just out of interest (i know quite a bit about this case) does anyone know why the fight broke out with Ben, Steve and Kiel?

I'm not trying to stick up for them and i, in no way, condone what they did. However they were (albeit WAY over the top) doing the right thing

Knocking f*ck out of someone who's already unconscious can never be called 'the right thing', no matter what the circumstances. Whatever they believed their victim might have 'deserved' or 'had coming', we have a legal framework in this country which must be adhered to.

Like i said, i don't condone what they did, but i fully agree with them stepping in. Even though i fully disagree with the extent they did it
