I get the argument, not sure I like the precedent.

Arrest in the UK doesn’t require the same precedent as in the US, and doesn’t mean the same thing- this most likely doesn’t really mean anything and is just procedural.

Have to admit that it was an unconventional way to kick one leg up. Aaron Fox is from Hastings and is the coach of Sheffield. Would love to know his take on Petgrave and the type of player he was. I just always get a pit in my stomach when they show that replay.

A little primer on manslaughter definitions in the UK. TL;DR version is even if it was a freak accident, it can still be manslaughter.
