Police delay leaves Sale uncertain when Jonny Hill can play again

Sale have outlined they are still in the dark at to when Jonny Hill might be available for selection again. It was June 1 when the out-of-favour England lock got involved in a post-game altercation with a fan at The Rec after Bath had beaten the Sharks in the Gallagher Premiership semi-final.

Director of rugby Alex Sanderson recently revealed that Hill was due to visit police on September 16 and there was optimism that a line would finally be drawn under the matter.

However, heading into next Friday’s round three home game with Gloucester more than 17 weeks after the incident took place in the main stand at Bath, Sale remain none the wiser as to when Hill can be selected to play for them as the police investigation – which will be followed by an RFU disciplinary – has not yet concluded.

“We have no clarity on Jonny with regards to the exact date he is going to return because it’s still with the officials, the authorities, at the moment and we have to wait for whatever judgement passes down from them,” explained Sanderson at his Tuesday afternoon media briefing in Manchester. “The guy who is supposed to be dealing with it is on annual leave.

“I have to take deep breaths and accept that it’s out of my control and out of Jonny’s at this point in time. It’s not like we’re not chasing it up. We have got barristers on the case and have had since the start of this. It’s just a long process that is not conducive to professional sport.”

George Skivington talks up 'relative unknown's England chances

I Could Hardly Breathe! Months of tireless fundraising had finally come through for my small nonprofit, and we had $300,000 in Bitcoin to supply food, shelter, and medical aid to refugees fleeing war. That fund was hope, a future for families who had no other place to turn. It all fell apart in an instant. Our treasurer, a man I'd trusted like a brother, vanished overnight and took the entire fund with him. I was heartbroken. The weight of the people who were depending on us pressed against my chest. I could hardly breathe. I looked at my screen, powerless to do anything as the blockchain ledger confirmed my worst nightmare, the funds had been moved through a series of wallets, vanished into thin air.

Sleepless and remorseful, I consulted a crisis management expert in a desperate phone call. With the calm, panic-slashing tone of her voice, she spoke GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES . Her confidence was the sort that spoke of seen miracles. At that straw of hope, I grasped and called them immediately.

From that first call, GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES treated my case like those refugee lives were in their own hands. Their lead investigator explained their approach, tracing transactions through blockchains, monitoring wallet activity, and leveraging relationships with international exchanges. They explained it all in plain terms, never once making me feel dumb for my ignorance. They understood both the technical complexity and the human stakes.

There were daily progress reports. They followed the laundering path our treasurer had attempted, following the trail through the decentralized exchanges and privacy-focused mixers. Each breakthrough was like a heartbeat resuscitating a stilled chest. On the nineteenth day, they called with the words I had scarcely dared to hope: "We got it back."

I got down on my knees and wept. $300,000 was safely recovered to our nonprofit wallet. But GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES didn't hesitate. They guided us through implementing enhanced security measures, such as multi-signature wallets, cold storage solutions, and rigorous internal oversight. They even advised us on vetting future financial officers.

Our mission is stronger today than ever. Refugee families are still being assisted, and I sleep well knowing our funds are secure. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES not only retrieved our Bitcoin, they restored my faith in resiliency and human kindness.
