It ain't uncommon for lads to get involved in a fracas on nights out /take drugs / have an affair/ drink and drive / etc etc etc. There must be thousands of such incidents every night of the week . Some happen to involve people who are considered to be public figures .

I must be holier then, because I haven't done any of those things.
I've walked away from some fracas, in Ponte as well.

It's not that it isn't in me. I'm a big lad. I know how to handle myself. I got in to plenty of dust ups playing rugby, but not in public and not because I was worse for drink. Never taken drugs (apart from over counter for man flu), certainly never had an affair, and drink driving is the worsed of the lot. We have some recent examples of how that can wreck lives in the rugby league community.

I'm not special, but my parents raised a kid who knows right from wrong.

I'm not saying that in relation to Owen's case, but it is in relation to a justification of 'everybody does it so isn't so bad'

I hope for Richards sake he learns lessons and quickly.

Major Jizz-fest over on the Wakey board. All things concerning RO and Probiz sponsorship (with added negativity) on there folks.

It would be interesting what some of their holier than thou posters would say if, for example Ben Cockcayne scored the game clinching try in the Good Friday game,or clinched a play off place / Wembley final place etc

A genuine question here - where are you seeing all this supposed 'holier than thou' stuff about Owen from WTW fans? I've just had another look on our board and there's nothing of the sort.

One slightly sarcastic comment from the OP, followed by lots of sensible, cautionary stuff; I still don't see any evidence of the 'holier than thou' brigade that's been mentioned.

bren2k take this the nicest way possible, but can't you just f&%#k off back to the Wakefield forum, your getting on everyone's nerves with your useless statements

Dont worry he is stuck on our board as well, might have to nick your post and repost it on ours.

I can see the reason that you're being so aggressive - I'm highlighting the fact that the reaction to this incident on our board is being grossly misrepresented by some people and you don't like it; there's no need for personal attacks though, or for circumventing the swear filter, which I believe is against the AUP.

I'm quite shocked - people on here are normally very friendly.
