While the press has a field day on the sacking of Gavin Henson following a drunken plane ride, I think it is time to get a bit of perspective by looking at other players who have been found wanting in terms of self control. Mike Phillips was involved in an incident which saw him bundled into a police van back in 2011 prior to the world cup. He was suspended "indefinitely" only to be back on the field weeks later. He was also a Blues player. Mike Phillips - WalesOnline Recently Tom James and Ceri Sweeney were arrested and subsequently bailed after an alleged assault which took place outside a nightclub in Cardiff. Both are Blues players, both are still in the squad. Sweeney & James Henson's former teammate Casey Laulala is reported to have tweeted that the incident had been blown out of proportion. The tweet has since been deleted but I'd figured as much. He's a high profile player and the Blues are skint. Stands to reason. Presumably they want players on development contracts like Alex Cuthbert. Very sad state of affairs - Henson is a smokescreen for some quite serious failings at the Blues.
