No amnesia or double standards from you though 
A poor call from Leigh though.
It's ok that they are desperate to survive but, really ?? |

At a time when there is a push to make women feel safer, we have a SL club signing a man who is just about to stand trial for GBH against a woman.
Great.

I guess that depends on whether he’s found guilty or not.
I’m happy with what I wrote. He’s due to stand trial soon. |

Don't you think it would be wise to wait till after the trial before inflicting your opinion on the matter. |

No he should have been stood down as soon he was charged as that means that CPS have determined their is a better than 70 %chance of conviction.
It is not as if he was a Leigh player they have signed him knowing he is in court soon.
It is a shocking decision
Regardless of whether other teams have done the same two wrongs don’t make a right.
This condones an acceptance of DV.. even if he does not get convicted as the victim is in Back in NZ this may harm evidence against him , he may even get off with a lesser charge but the headlines say it all

The headlines also say that Leigh and Wire were happy to ignore the above .
When Greg Johnson did the same he never played for the Giants again.
Both of them are scum |

That he is due to stand trial soon isn’t an opinion; it’s a fact.
His case is listed to start on 12th May. |

Also worth noting that the offence he is charged with (GBH) is much more serious that all those other cases.
If he’s found guilty, factors that are likely to result in a custodial sentence include the attack being perpetrated on a vulnerable victim (eg a woman attacked by a more powerful man) and the nature of the injury caused (this involved broken bones, so is at the higher end of harm).
Even if he’s found guilty and isn’t given a custodial sentence, he’s not the sort of person we need in the game. |

Pretty much no supporter of any other club has any right to pass judgement on Leigh over this signing. The club I support are certainly not squeaky clean on this.
That doesn't make it right but unless the game as a whole comes together and decides to not sign players that have trials pending or actual convictions for things that go against the idea we are "a family game" you can't expect one club to be at a competitive disadvantage of any others. Serious questions needed to be asked a long time before now. Fair play to Warrington for giving him the boot.
From Leigh's perspective if he is found innocent happy days if he's convicted they sack him for gross misconduct as he'll be in prison and can't fullfil his contract.

Yep.
One of the ideas we should be copying from the NRL is the concept of a ‘Integrity Unit’ (though I’m not sure I’d call it the same thing) that can suspend players for off-field incidents that bring the game into disrepute. |
