he did on monday

you muppet

And he's out now you muppet

I'm a Hull KR supporter, not a Ben Cockayne supporter. I want what's best for Hull KR and if they decide to part ways with Ben then so be it, if not, then great. Oh my blinkers are definitely on!

hence why i changed it muppet

Good lad i just didn't want you making yourself look more stupid then you are

Don't think even he could cope with less than the single brain cell

just imagine how stupid i would be having hull kr as my team

Complete joke, especially as it's not the first time he's been in trouble with the law.
Hope KR do the right thing and give him the fleetwood mac.

Will you be updating your little league table if we win the derby or will you just make it disappear like you did in the Salford score thread?

no not at all it will still have hull higher then kr once we hammer you all over kc

oh and i went out

not like its any of your bussiness

Like some did with the aggregate scores in our first season, only to have them disappear when we smashed them all over the KC

I don't know, you have Location as Hull and Proud and a picture of two liverpool players, fickle comes to mind

Hull KR have 3 choices IMO:

1. Say the punishment set by the court is sufficient and he should not be punished twice for the same crime.

2. Suspend him for a period to show their thorough diapproval.

3. Sack him.

The last seems unlikely - he has been in the 17 regularly, while the case has been ongoing. There is no real risk to the club in keeping him, as if he makes another mistake he'll be a guest of Her Majesty and we can try to find a replacement then - swapping the certainty of a problem now for the possibility of one down the road isn't a risk.

There are ethical arguments for and against a suspension. The rugby arguments (you have to be realistic about these things) are mostly against - especially going into the hectic Easter period with one 3/4 already out for 3 months. He's lucky not to be going to prison and maybe lucky he's not a prop.

Agree with what you're saying but I reckon he'll just be fined.

Possibly, but it would look bad IMO, because you (HKR) are saying he needs to be punished again in a way that just happens to benefit the club on the pitch and in the bank. Donating the cash to charity might mitigate it a bit, especially if the suggestion 'comes from' the new and reformed BC.

Maybe I should have been a spin doctor

i support a hull team

It's what most sports clubs do

I know it's a bit different but look at ashley cole the other week
He got an £80 fine by the police and chelsea then fined him 2 weeks wages

Agree that it should go to charity the club shouldn't gain from his actions

Edited for accuracy

Agree with these comments plus although sledging during games is fairly frequent with all teams at some point I`m sure there will be some players trying that bit extra to wind him up now

Hope he serves his CS well and makes a real difference to those less fortunate doing whatever work he has to and continues his very impressive form on the pitch

oh dear



how sad

Ben could still face a punishment from the RFL; www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... kayne.html Quote "In accordance with the sport's operational rules, the case of Ben Cockayne will be referred to the RFL compliance department in the light of the sentence handed down to him by the courts in order to consider what action needs to be taken against him and whether any further sanction is necessary.'"

Quote ="Matty"Ben could still face a punishment from the RFL; www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... kayne.html'" This could set a precedent for all cases in the future where players end up in court and found guilty. In a way I think they need to make an example of Cockayne (and Pryce and Reardon when their sentences are known) even if just suspending them for a set period of time simply to send the message to other players that this behaviour isn't condoned and also to reiterate the "family sport" idea of the game and make fans aware that they don't take off the pitch misdemeanour's lightly.

What you talking about?!



Was chuffed to bits when heard the news!

Based on the evidence placed before the court, I believe it to be a farce that this young THUG has not been sent to jail.

What he did is disgusting and shocking, he displayed all the traits of a COWARD. A one to one fight is one thing but kicking someone about the head repeatedly whilst on the floor...CONTEMPTIBLE. Had this guy died from this beating Cockayne et al would be facing a murder charge.

All in all...a CONTEMPTIBLE, COWARDLY THUG

Come on Hull K R, we don't need his sort at the club.
