Should have a word with Pryce's barrister. He would have got charges dismissed, an apology and $500 compensation. The guy must be better than the one that got Butch Oscar sent down for homsexuality.

Saints will probably make a move to sign him now. He will be perfect for their family club image.

Does anyone have a link to one of the stories when Bird first signed for Catalans, where I'm sure the Dragons said that if he was found guilty, they would terminate his contract?

And now they're going to stick by him. Amazing how a player doing well at a club can change a moral stance isn't it?

According to this article Bird can carry on at Catalans for the rest of the season.
