So shouldn't Saints do the same with Mr Pryce?

They won't. If he was to go to jail, he would I imagine, treated in the same way as Cockyane has been at Hull KR, some kind of suspension.

FWIW, its a disgraceful decision by KR and the judge in the case, remarkable that he avoided a stay in the cells.

What, for pushing a bloke? No way. Saints should stand by Pryce and if he has to serve time, which he shouldn't (given that Cockayne didn't and his crime was far worse), then maybe a suspension until it is done, which would be obvious given that he couldn't play anyway, being in lockup.

Feka punched a taxi driver didn't he? Or was it a bus driver? I can't remember. Anyway, did he get fired? Seems not. Yet he actually punched someone, as opposed to pushed someone.

I hope Saints have the cajones to ignore the baying of the crowd and stand by Pryce.

Does that mean Wigan should have done the same with Feka?

I feel its more to do with Reardon being so injury prone and the arrival of Ritchie Mathers than it is with the assault charge.

yeah wire are probably glad they have a good reason to sack him without any repercussions

not a chance in hell that pryce will be sacked. i think he will do time, but saints would be lost without him long term. obviously not the first time pryce has been involved in a cowardly attack but saints wont risk not winning the cc or gf to do the morally right thing.

The fact is, he has previous. Should have gone down years ago.

me too.......hes not played for ages iirc

talking of pryce.

i had a good chuckle last night when he knocked on by dropping the slippery ball and bent over to try retrieve it.
i had a vision of a slippery bar of soap and a shower.

I think you're overlooking a couple important points here. Feka was responding to provocation wheras Reardon and Pryce went to deliberately cause trouble. Also Pryce has been involved with these sort of incidents before. It's hardly 'out of character'....

Having said that, it's now a matter for the courts and the Saints club. My gues is self interest will win out over moral fibre as was the case with Long and the 'betting incedent', KC and drugs...oh, you get the picture!

For what? Hitting someone over the head with what he had in his hand while that someone had his hands around Pryce's throat? And then that someone waited a month before reporting it, and only reported it after first offering Pryce the opportunity to avoid action for the tidy sum of £40,000? Sounds like the bloke was devastated, not. Pryce didn't deserve jail then and he doesn't deserve it now. Had he done what Cockayne did then IMO he would have deserved jail. People love to jump on the hate bandwagon but forget that there are degrees when it comes to crime, which is why Mr Pryce is only guilty of common assault and not something worse. The way some fans post on here anyone would think he'd killed a bloke.

If I get into a fist fight this afternoon and some bloke grabs me around the throat.....is it okay for me to smash a bottle on his head?

Where do you draw the line, stab him?
The fact is, he used a weapon.

I'll be interested to see when sentence is passed whether Saints make any statement about the unacceptability of domestic violence.

All RL clubs should be promoting community values. I'm not sure what message LP playing last night sent out to the RL world or the world in general but I suspect it wasn't a good one.

ABH is not a push its a lot more than a push common is a push ABH is not an as for feka there was no charge answer to really cause the bus driver dropped the charges cause he said he was shouting abuse at feka ,,, also the ABH is not the serious charge its the agravated bit were they entered the house with out permission is the seroius bit to be honest

It's not his first violent offence it WAS cockayne's first.



Feka was found not guilty...



I don't it's disgusting anyone that resorts to violence like that off the pitch should not be allowed on to a pitch.

I know i've just posted but I agree 100% with this comment. Not a good message playing him and for what it's worth, since it's Saints only argument back as to why he shouldn't be sacked, YES I think Cockayne should be sacked, but, Pryce deserves it more. Remember Cockayne stood up for a friend and it went too far. Pryce deliberately went to Reardon's ex Wife's house and caused trouble. Disgusting.

In an odd way, you could argue Pryce was doing the same as cockayne then?

I imagine saints will do what hull kr have done, which will save us some cash and keep a really good player. The rights and wrongs of this are irrelivent, saints, or any club arnt going to give up one of their best players unless they have too. Leeds didnt, hullkr didnt and saints wont.

. . . and Wigan didn't.

and Hull didn't www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/ju ... uperleague What do they have in common? They're first team players who have not been injured for god knows how long.

Strange how you don't mention Gleeson.

My thoughts too.

Some Saints fans seem to think that forcing your way into a house and assaulting the person who lives there is not serious. If so, they're living in cloud cuckoo land.
