How constructive to the discussion as usual

not if the rfl de-register him they wont

I am no lawyer, but I would imagine that any punishment dished out by the RFL would have to be for a certain offence ie: bringing the game into disrepute, I doubt they could start to deliberate the offence and sentence as the courts have already done this. If they choose to go down this road and start to dish out a second punishment based on the severity of the offence they could end up on dodgy ground.

In the forces we had something called concequencial punishment, which meant the Navy could punish us again if we ended up in civvy court, but it did not depend on the severity of the offence you were convicted of, you could have got drunk or murdered someone, if the courts released you the most you got was loss of one days pay and a day added to your length of service.

If they take the stance to de-register Cockayne, they inevitable will have to de-register Pryce andReardon once sentenced.

nobody in their right mind can codone what he has done. If no punishemnet is given by rovers/rfl then it is showing that they arn't too bothered. I'm not just saying it because he is a rovers player i think it should be the same for anyone who behaves in that way regardless of the shirt that they wear.

I agree, but it has to be measured and used fairly, not selectively.

Video of the incident available on the Yorkshire Evening Post website [url=http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/Shocking-footage-of-rugby-star39s.5137725.jphere[/url

Not sure how and not seen it but there you go

Ha - tell me about it!

Got consequentials twice in the mob - 28 days suspended for one of them - could'nt fart for a year after that never mind be 1 minute adrift...

Sack him. You don't need your club to be involved with this kind of behaviour.

As wrong as I think his actions were ,I think the R.F.L should mind their own buisness. A court of law has decided his punishment. [uIf[/u his employers (Hull KR not the R.F.L) want to take any further action, that should be left for them to decide.

...and the award for the most ridiculous post goes to???

Had the kid died they would have been facing a murder charge, this is the law, look it up on any good legal internet sites or better still in a good law book!!
It's only through good fortune rather than good planning that any of the repeated kicks to the head did not cause death. The fact that Cockayne returned to deliver further kicks is inexcusable.

I do not believe that he should have got a suspended sentence, he should have been imprisoned for his thuggish, cowardly attack.

I sincerely hope that Hull Kingston Rovers deem him to have breached his professional contract and dismiss him.

I've just watched the CCTV footage of the attack and I am truely disgusted. Yes, I jnow this and much worse goes on every weekend but at the end of the day Cockayne and any other professional sportsperson have a duty to abide by.

Hull KR should sack him and the RFL should ban him

That's awful to watch.

Having seen that video I agree. regardless wether he plays for hkr or anyone else.

That is absolutely shocking

Lets just see what happens...

Id hope we as a club do the right thing

You seem to have posted this on the wrong forum.

Appalling. Get shut of him Rovers.

www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... l?id=41953 forget this person is a rugby player and watch the video he should have been locked up for that attack.

Why watch it then, I certainly have no intentions of. Its Bens downfall that there was CCTV, perhaps if there was for other offenders in RL we might get all high and mighty about them all.

HAving just watched that I don't see how anyone could even contemplate saying he's not been very lucky.

Anyone seriously believing that fc fans are only saying he should have been jailed because they are fc fans need their head checking.

Hopefully the club and the rfl do the right thing

Have a look at the mail website it's even worse
