Fined £200, court costs of £85 and victim surcharge of £15.

Hopefully he'll now be able to resume training at the club and keep his head down.

Presumably he is on a final warning from the club.

After the stick I've received in the last 24 hrs from Hull KR, Widnes, Warrington and Bradford fans, I think our reputation is in the gutter right now. I don't know what the answer is, but I think we have to be much tougher on future indiscretions than we have been so far. I appreciate the new regime have nothing to do with the drugs scandal, but Seymour and Aspinwall's indiscretions cannot be seen to be swept under the carpet.

In the same way that Rule had to go to the extreme when a couple of idiots meant the universal banning once again of alcohol in the ground, I think we need to show this kind of intent again, for the sake of the club's reputation.

Our club's name is mud, at the moment, and probably rightly so, but this is no fault of AP and his new set-up. I'm thinking that to avoid further sanctions from the RFL - as in the case of the drink - we need to make a tough moral stand and be seen to be doing it. Aspinwall is a Gentle/McRae signing. The new regime need to show the RFL our intentions moving forward. Sorry, Martin, but you've been a tit and should take the consequences. Scapegoat? Maybe, but any action by the club now may ensure there's no need for any more.

Absolutely right. Now cue the usual apologists saying it never did Knocker Norton any harm.

He will get another chance and rightly so as it was his first offence with the club. Lots of stories at the time suggesting it was more than drunk and disorderly but it clearly wasn't.

Needs to behave perfectly from here on in and needs to train harder than the other players to prove himself to Gentle.

Apologists? You mean people with a different opinion.

Interesting point though when people talk about Crane, Crooks and Norton they celebrate the fact they drank, smoked and played yet with current players they are hammered for it. Different era yes but its also double standards.

What is Seymours indiscretions since he has been a Hull player ?

Sacking him for being D&D would be a complete joke.
Making him a scapegoat would do nothing to help us right now.

Normally I'd agree, but these are unprecedented times for our club's reputation, and the new leadership needs to demonstrate their intentions moving forward.

If he doesn't go, a clear statement that action has been taken against him and a public declaration of the expectations of the club with regard to players' conduct should be made. And carried out moving forward.

Our problems are due to the old regime, we are now moving forwards and Gentle has already spoken to the players on the back of this incident.

I'm guessing this was a reference to his DUI in Australia following the end of season party at his old club. It's a bit of a grey area as although he was already signed I don't think that his contract had officially started.
