What would that acheive, really? He's not the first and he's definitely not the last. He's received his punishment, let's just move on!

Because the idea behind any sanction is to make a stance against the violent act he carried out, if we sack him and he signs for another SL club, who is punished, certainly not the player. I take your point about not wanting a thug in the squad, but lets face it there are numerous players still plying their trade who have had similar convictions. I doubt you are niave enough to think that if we sack him not one other club will come knocking after a few weeks.

the lad is well known for been an idiot and trouble maker.

And that matters because?

So the guy asked for the kicking?

Best kick the crap out of him then

It would back up our sports reputation of being a family sport and maybe deter any players in the future of this kind of behaviour. He is a role model to lots of kids etc Our sport doesnt need this.

He may have received his punishment from the courts but thats rubbish, he doesnt deserve to have adoring Rovers fans watching him and cheering his name etc. He deserves to be in prison sharing his cell with someone who nicknames him precious!!

do you no any different?

Unbelievable isnt it. He obviously deserved it!!

Being a cab driver in hull now for a number of years i have come across certain individuals who basically deserve a good kicking. I am not saying this chap did for all i know he may be a pillar of the community. But maybe the bigger picture needs looking at.

What player's do in their personal lives has nothing to do with me supporting Hull KR. If the crime was judged to be punishable by custody then he wouldn't be playing for Hull KR, therefore the severity of the crime is a none issue.

Whether Ben stays or goes, life goes on and I still support Hull KR. I just don't think a person should be damned forever because they made a mistake in their lifetime, especially after they've accepted their punishment.

I know that no one ever deserves a kicking, violence is the answer to nothing!!! Cant believe you are implying he may have deserved a shoeing from an ex marine etc!! Jeez!

beggers belief honest to god!

Think he was a squaddie, I usuallyfound marines more able to control themselves, in fact if they felt the need to use violence it is usually swift and certain

Having seen the CCTV footage of the incident, it's worse than I thought.

A prick of the highest order. How the horrible c*nt has stayed out of prison, I don't know. The 'justice system' is a complete shambles.

The bloke deserved it according to some on here!!

Often felt like giving a cabbie a good kicking, especially when your told 'its just turned in your street' and then you get to finish off watching Corry while you wait another 20 minutes

Make of that what you will. I'm not saying he asked for it or deserved it, but you don't go around punching people if you don't expect to be involved in a scrape or two!

I make of it that both people should have been punished. Its no excuse for Cockayne to give him a kicking though and doesnt make things acceptable.

MMm so the other guy dropped one of Bens mates??

get a life! what could youy possibly do to change what has gone before us? some people just like posting on here for the sake of it. if all you want to do is slag off the kid then start a thread on the fc site. nobody is interested in what you think!
