Nothing against Women! He seems 2 attacks by separate people (who happen to be women) far fetched.

Yeah, I know in your head you think that's fine, but trust me its not and you sound like a prat

He should have at least knocked her down. Imagine if it was travis burns against crookes! Not good release him.

Cutting!

Tubby Travis Bickle would probably miss being 5'3" 17 stone



I still wonder what Miller said to him about his lass "back home"



I'm please Briscoe repeated it too

Exactly how I saw it. Couldn't make it sound right without it sounding like condoning what a court of law has passed judgement on. I guess hull don't believe it neither hence the 'harsh' comment.

The kids made a big mistake in his life. Hands up those of us who haven't done something they are ashamed of?



My late dad used to say, there was only one man who never made a mistake and they crucified him.



Cut the lad some slack, and let him get on with his life. If he screws up again, THEN come down on him hard.

We all knew about this in January this year but the last I heard was he got questioned and nothing came of it.



I personally believe that everyone deserves a second chance but Jason Crookes second chance should have being at another club. Whether he was provoked or not, he is a professional and he represents our club. He should have gone IMO.

Blokes who go out on the and get 'nasty' with women are a scourge on society and a disgrace to the name of Hull FC. We are a family club and ask a lot of the player's wives what they think of what obviously happened.



I am no fan of his actions and yes he was found guilty

Murderers, Rapists & Paedophiles don't deserve a 2nd chance.



He did something that was cowardly and stupid, but to not give him a second chance is wrong IMO.



Don't think the club need to be 'publicly' seen to be doing anything either, I'm sure he'll be dealt with in-house. Just because AP may have remarked that he was treat harshly, doesn't mean he doesn't think he's an idiot in the first place.

I disagree, it sends a message out to the players or employees of this club that your ok to break the law once but you must behave afterwards. This was a big chance for Pearson IMO to show under his ownership the club has gone more professional and he has failed IMO.

you failed to read what the poster had said...'publicly' was the operative word. What goes on behind closed doors is down to FC, I for one do not think it sends the wrong message out in any case, that is what some people may think and they are entitled to their POV.

I think it says that AP isn't Draconian and can take a viewpoint that whilst (in the eyes of the law..which never gets anything wrong ever...

) a big mistake has being made, to cast away a young lad after making that mistake isn't the wholly right thing to do.

Whilst I'd never condone striking another without just cause this case isn't the worst crime ever committed, not by a long stretch (gauging by the judges sentence) .

The amount of vitriol on this forum is incredible, there's no thought of reform, there's no 2nd chance, there's no understanding that by binning someone off at the first sign of trouble it doesn't have a detrimental impact that ranges farther than one can deem imaginable. I imagine how perfect those whom are ready to sack Crookes off, that they are incapable of making mistakes....



I'm not saying Crookes isn't guilty, however the judges one sided, impartial (bigotted) comments spoke volumes to me, judges are very fallible, just as other humans are.

IF the club decide to keep him I hope that he is given guidance to try to ensure he doesn't step of the mark again

What have I missed? Is that what wound up Burns?

I never failed to read it, I just don't see how the club could deal with something like this internally.



We all make mistakes, me more then anybody. I go out drinking alot and have never had a fight whilst doing so. I don't think the judge is bigoted and even if he was your asking for trouble the minute you hit a women.



The fact of the matter is he would have got away with it if he hadn't of had a picture taken and I get the impression he only started to show some sort of remorse once he thought his career was on the line.



I have a sister who has being a victim of this in the past and its not very nice. If he didn't play for Hull FC I reckon alot of you would have different opinions. You all slated Travis Burns and Ryan Bailey in the past for much less.
