Because, the facts are:

- Ben Cockayne committed a serious crime, but has since been punished by the courts in a manner [ithey[/i feel fits the crime (which at the end of the day is all that matters really)

- Rovers have since punished him in a manner they feel is appropriate

That, therefore should be the end of the matter. But no, the HDM have to sensationalise it with CCTV clips, headline banners, two interviews with the victim (which again IMO they didn't need to do), and constant little digs at Cockayne and the club. The way they talk in paper it's clear that they feel they have a right to constant information, co-operation etc from the club, which I don't feel they do.
Bottom line is they're a s****y little rag who actually only care about one team in Hull (and it isn't either RL team unfortunately), and who IMO have treated both RL teams like crap for years, and so deserve nothing in return.
The Cockayne 'saga' is none of their business really - it was a crime on a person not from the city, and did not happen in the city, but they (as with the Raynor case and others) feel they 'have to' make it their business. They then b***h when any club doesn't fully cooperate with them, but I don't blame any club, and if I was Hull/Rovers I'd cut ties with them - neither club needs their 'publicity' (especially when it's negative so often) these days anyway.
Sorry for the rant.

Suspensions by the RFL can include training sessions, and have in the past.

Don't think it's ever the case with club suspensions though.

thye are just clarifying for interested fans and readers, if Grudgill had stated it more clearly the first time they would not have to.

And why has it taken himover a week to restart training then

Because he's been injured.

and injured players dont go training these days or for rehab do they

1. Rehab and training or two different things.



2. Could you train on one leg? (for example)

happy now typo corrected

1. both are carried out at your state of the art Burj el Salt End



2. I played on for half a season with worse as well as training

The overage player at Under-11's doesn't count

Right first thing at least our club doesnt employ someone who beats up a women!!

they havent interviewed stuart readon victims have they?? well?? how about being impartial and seeing it from both sides like the guy ben hit and again im not excusing what ben Did and he went too far and deserved to be punished by the courts for it !!. what he was doing to his girlfriend before it started Ill give you a big clue shall stuart readon has just pleaded guilty to it!!. finally as for numpty the only numpty around here is your club a day after they launch a domestic voilence campaign they sign someone who just pleaded guilty to it well well!!

Im so sorry I forgot every single hull fc player are complete angels and never being in court have they......

think about that and then edit your post

You have just won a prize for the best ever first post

Must be working, we beat you and were above you

The Hull Daily Mail. Yesterday's news, today!

Put the shovel down Bambi, at this rate you will be able to see Crocker on the beach!

Could it be much clearer:

Perhaps Rovers need to start issuing press statements with sub-titles for the hard of thinking?

Hmmmm, when did Cooke leave you???

So therefore he still has to train and will pbe eligible for reserves selection, or should that be forced to play for them.

Still not stated in the original press release though

Didn't need to be.

As said, HDM need to know nothing.
