Firstly, to the team "Well Done", we achieved so much more than was expected at the beginning of the season, everyone wrote us off.

Secondly, why is Leon Pryce on trial? Heard lots of things at the match on Saturday and on various message boards but no one seems to be saying why. Can anyone fill me in.

I think that you will find that he has been charged with wounding and affray and is due in court starting this week depending on other court cases currently running and finishing. This follows a street fight outside a night club last year.

Didn't he bottle someone?

He is alleged to have glassed someone in the Walkabout in Bradford

is that why ryan bailey and leon pryce got sent down? if ye then its coz they were arguing over a woman in a club and started fighting!

Story is on the BBC web site at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west ... 208196.stm

He has pleaded guilty to glassing one of the Slford coaching staff, and has been told all options are open including a custodial sentance.

Seems Bradford's bully boy tatics transfer to off the pitch as well as on the pitch.

If the dirty get has admitted to it, the Bulls must have known about it. They have got to ask themselves some serious questions about why they allowed someone that has commited such an act against another club's staff to play in SuperLeague!

Throw the book at the thug!

He attacked Edward McGuinness, with a beer bottle.

Leon Pryce said that he did it 4 selfdence, the he pleaded guilty.

He put 48 stitches in him, from the beer bottle.

He was originally charged with a more serious offence and pleaded not guilty. As a result and due to various witnesses being SL players and them not being readily available for the trial or some such reason, the trial was posponed until now.

At the trial on Monday the prosectution accepted a plea of guilty to a lesser charge.

Now call me a cynic but I see this as a ploy by both him and/or the club to have him available for the season and GF.

I mean why did they not offer to accept the lesser charge at the original hearing where he pleaded not guilty? Was it to avoid being sentanced for that during the season?

The cynical view is that he has had clever legal council offering him advice on how to plea to engineer this outcome.

By design or by accident, the not guilty plea has meant for him a season of RL and a "staring" role in the grand final.

There is now no "alleged" offence as he has pleaded guilty. He glassed someone and the reason a lesser charge has been accepted is because he said he was acting in self defence and the person on the recieving end of the glass did make a grab for him at some point.

But given his victim had to have 48 stiches in 10 seperate wounds I personally think this excuse is a bit dodgy to say the least.

Even if self defence is accepted, glassing someone who made a grab at you is a total over reaction and so that alone deserves a severe penalty IMO.
