Oh, and he came second on Celebrity X-Factor, with Kate Thornton calling him a 'hunk' every week, thus confirming that she is blind.

Anyway, that's as good a reason as any not to sign him.

I realise he’s a role model and kids look up to him but I still don’t feel it should he should be punished by the sport and not the law. Same goes for Bird & Carney in RL. If a player has done something illegal he needs to be prosecuted under the laws of the land not the laws of the sport. If the courts decide not offer a custodial sentence I can’t see how a club can justify taking his employment off him. In regards to RL? Depends how desperate a club is. He’s one of the more mobile props in RU, he’ll come cheap and he’s got two years to sort his fitness out really. Worth a punt I suppose?
