Did anyone hear the interview? Did Parsons know when the question was asked whether Franks used it in his defence?
The audio: http://www.radiosport.co.nz/on-air/darcy-and-goran/audio/james-parsons-i-havent-received-an-apology/
Cheers, but I wasn't looking to listen myself - was hoping someone who listened would give the info.
-
So Franks tried to apologise - he reached out - but Parsons brushed him off and didn't give him the opportunity to apologise, according to rugby lawyer Aaron Lloyd on the Short Ball podcast (episode 18).

Fuck who cares. As @antipodean said an apology shouldn't factor into thr sentencing at all. The judiciary is a joke.
-
@no-quarter Stuff care!

It’s a complete overkill. Franks tried to clean out, made contact with head. Yes red card but accidental, and some coaching on technique required. Unfortunate that refs missed it but with so much happening on field this will happen. No problem with judiciary giving a couple of weeks for accidental contact. It’s not tiddly winks and sometimes stuff happens. This doesn’t make the Crusaders dirty. It does mean any players involved need to take note and work to improve technique.

Talk about retarded. I'm sorry I smashed you in the face, can I have a lighter sentence now.
Apologising was irrelevant to anything in 2005, it still is in 2018.
What is relevant is if Franks is a good Christian.

What if they write a heartfelt letter and put it on social media?

Dunno if you knew this or not ... but apparently Franks lack of social media skills was mentioned by the lawyer ...

Depends on the judiciary's point of view I suppose ... he's either
- Retarded for believing in a fairy in the sky
- Retarded for being an infidel
- Worth of sentence reduction and going into credit.
Not the best odds.
