Good. Assaulting a police officer is a heinous crime as is driving at speeds of 150 mph

King James

"he was Tasered six times but "kept rising to his feet to fight and charge at officers".
At one point, the former St Helens, Widnes and Wakefield hooker grabbed the Taser's wires after being stunned and removed them from his body.
He then grabbed the Taser in a "tug of war" with the officer, shouting: "You're getting it now!" while pointing it at the officer's face, police said."

Bizarre how many RL players never grow up, but just get older while staying as stupid as they were when 14.

must be mental health issues and we feel sorry for him, isn't that the thinking of some on here?
Utterly moronic, if this was in the US he'd be dead by now.

Good point he would and who could argue.

Fantastic player but this is beyond the pale, 2 years is nowhere near enough.

Standard, Standard, read all about it.....first time I've seen RL mentioned in that rag for years...

Mentioned this on the TRL forum, in all my years (got to read something on your commute) reading it never seen RL mentioned, not even when the CC is at Wembley.

On the plus side it only mentioned RL once and the headline simply said "Rugby" so there is a slight advantage to nobody knowing the difference.

I found it hilarious that they banned him from driving for 2 years yet sent him down for nearly that...unless the ban starts upon his release of course.

It was my thinking with regards to Malc Alker as it was clear that he was having problems in life as far back as being a Salford player with addiction to pain killers then problems with depression after retiring.

I don't remember saying i felt sorry for him.

Why generalise a whole forum and every rugby league player over something you read once? I genuinely felt the signs for Alker were the same as that i've seen of the likes of Terry Newton. One turned to crime, one turned to suicide.

That doesn't mean this whole forum thinks like that about the lot of them... but who knows. Maybe mental health issues are more of an issue with people who do things like this than society realises. And possibly instead of calling people with mental health issues "thick" "thugs" society should take it more seriously and be more concerned with how to tackle the issues rather than sticking a label on people to keep them at arms length.

Of course some people are genuinely just thugs who enjoy being thugs and should be locked up. Doesn't mean everyone is like that though.

Do you reckon that the policeman with the taser shouted 5th and last before he shot the sixth?

On a serious note, that sentence seems extremely light for the number of offences that will have committed.
