Quote ="Pal of Mine"I don't know if he will be imprisoned, but by joining Hull who have just launched this project for working with the perpetrator - not the victim, admitting he was wrong, apologising and saying he would work with any community schemes we have, he may have just saved himself a sentence. Hull as a club cannot say they back a scheme for working with the perpetrator and then refuse to sign someone because of their crime.
I do not condone physical violence at all.'"
The perpetrator scheme is a partnership initiative between NHS Hull, Hull Citysafe, that Hull FC allowed to be launched to a massive audience. I went to a lower key launch of the same event at the beginning of last week (as the partnership manager of Hull Citysafe) where the talk was about real men admitting the strength to change. I would hope that Hull FC will be in contact this week to encourage Mr. Reardon to enrol on the programme. I like you do not condone violence and would hope that the club and the player see the chance to show what he did was wrong on so many levels, but if the remorse he mentions in all the press releases is genuine, then should he be allowed to show that he is working to reform what he now knows is wholly unacceptable behaviour.
