regarding the off field stuff, from whats been reported it wasnt as bad as greg bird's alledged offence and plenty on here were prepared to accept him as a bulls player. Also have to wonder whether reardons case would have even gone to court if it didnt involve a couple of relatively high profile RL players.

Stop talking silly.
its not silly read the court transcript
"After shouting insults at his wife, Reardon grabbed her arm, causing three bruises. "
can you imagine a 999 call from Some rough Council Estate in Bradford(you must have em)
"the police please. Ive just heard a man call his ex wife a dirty slut and he's grabbed her by the arm it looks like it might leave a couple of bruises"
not a chance would it get a response in a million years
however "please help Leon Pryce and Stuart Reardon are here threatening to beat me up..."
then thats different....
I would imagine Its Tony Smith putting down a marker that anyone "Drinking" is not going to be tollerated.....rather than getting rid of a "wife beater"....
so he's probably unfortunate in that respect.... Briers is probably the next man sweating....
