It's a disgrace what these ex-players get up to. I do have to question the standard of Kiwi joinery though, it looked like the set of Fawlty Towers.

Whilst not condoning the alleged behaviour, it made me laugh, reminded me of the days I 'trashed' a few doors at party's (and a lot worse) - the exuberance of youth, eh!

These things are frowned upon too quickly today, far too many moralists and judgemental people IMO - stones and glasshouses spring to mind..

"alledged" I assume you've either not seen the vid, or sit on the RFL disiplinary board when wigan players are up before them?

At least he didn't drink his own or get a blowjob from a yorkshire terrior

At what age does exuberance of youth still qualify as mitigation? He's 25 according to Wikipedia, which is pushing it IMO.

I try not to judge, but but actually our consciousness Is just a long series of judgements. That's what Matthew McConaghey said on True Detective in one of the episodes before its rubbish finale, anyway.

I take your point about tiresome moralising but it was a stupid, rather oafish thing to do. I'm just reading a book about the Coalition government and if it'd been one of those Bullingdon idiots I'd have sneered and tutted. I'm not saying he's obnoxious on that sort of scale, but for consistency, here is an eye-roll:



Still he's probably the most famous player in the squad now and this has got more coverage than the tournament itself it seems, so at least the sport's profile has been raised.

I hope we get rid of him, disgrace!!!!

Absolutely. Oh wait, we did. Move on.

One of your current players could be on trouble for one of his tweets to your fans.

I'm just glad I've been made aware of this. Door wreckage is a serious offence. I expect a custodial sentence.

Do you ever come over here without a cheap point-scoring agenda? If so, I'd love to have witnessed it.

I've seen it. Uncalled for on his behalf. The Hodgson incident really doesn't need to be made out into something it isn't. But for him to come out with them type of comments, it needs Chezzie to deal with it without a doubt. Funny tho, as it's the only Rugby tweet in a while apart from that crap Herbalife he spouts on about.

Stop bring a baby, it's a related post and I'd be fuming if a Hull player did that. Don't really see the big deal in what Hodgson did.

I can't see many other times I've come on here with cheap points as you call it, in fact I was only praising some of Rovers recruitment (backs)the other day.

What did the tweet say? And who was it?

I don't have one, will a doll do?

Our one and only Mr. Cockayne. Basically someone (a rovers fan may I add) didn't see the funny side to Joshs' antics. He replied, and said, to do him a favour and #### off sad act. No need. If he wants out too, then pack your herbalife bags.

Thanks. I've actually just read it. Part of the cancer that the club is trying to clear itself of. Not a good start to the new regime

that door was the only thing Josh Hodgson smashed whilst he was out there. looked really average at best

The lad has nothing to do with us any more.

He's been caught acting like a dick.

How many people on here have camera phone footage of their mates acting like cocks?

Or if you're in the older bracket, like me, would have had footage?

If you got wanged out of the emergency exits in the summer, when the students where away, and Nine Inch Nails was playing in Spiders, that was probably me.

Sorry about that.

All clubs have pricks like him, in their contracts it should ban things like twitter involving anything to do with their respective clubs/fans.
At Hull we have had drink/disciplinary problems for years but you seem to have surpassed us in the last couple of seasons and don't see you improving it with your new signings.

Two words for you, Leon Pryce....

I don't see the problem with BC taking the out of a Rovers fan. If it was a sackable offence then Hull FC would be without a team as they take the out of their supporters whenever they take the field.

You'd think he'd quit social media.

showing him up for what he is

The Hodgson incident is another of those things that gets blown out of all proportion by the mock outrage brigade. Just like Monaghan and Carney etc before him.

Yes he's representing his country and no he shouldn't have done it, but what harm has he done really? It's exactly what you expect to happen when a group of guys and alcohol come together. He should apologise, pay for the door, and that's the end of it.

As for Cockayne. Personally I agree with him. But like someone has already said. It's really not the new culture that Chester talks about. Shows a lack of respect for the fans imo.

Sad thing is its just about the only coverage the tournament has got on the national media outlets, listened to about half an hour summary of a group of RU friendlies, prem league and Scottish football before realising it wasn't going to get mentioned at all.
