It just shows the inconsistency of the RFL. Peacocks punching was sustained and should have been grade C not B.

Carney copped a ban for exactly the same thing.

And how many times has Carney been banned for the same offence? And been before the disciplinary.

You are missing the point. Peacock has been in the game years and has an exemplary record, never being banned.

briers didn't get banned for punching from behind, I feel your frustration but unsure what "because he plays for leeds" has to do with it.

As I told everyone who wasn't willing to listen, no homophobia at all. Contrition from the knee jerkers?

We were pleased that the panel made a particular point of saying that they did not believe that Zak had meant his comment as a homophobic remark and that they considered that Zak was not homophobic."

that said, what Zak said is wholly unacceptable and 5 games is about right.

Ben Westwood's assault in the Grand Final - one match ban.

Hardaker's use of the word "faggot" during a game - 5 matches.

All of the people who were involved in those decisions should quit RL administration and devote themselves to gay rights, because they are an embarrassment to RL.

Not likely judging by the mouth foaming on the wire and saints boards in particular , practically organizing a lynching over there .

Hardaker on twitter

"Thankyou everyone for ur support, 5 games it is. You live and learn and that's life, so I'll just make sure I come out better for it."

.....now when he says he's going to "come out" is he being homophobic again?? Ban him for another 5!!!

Harsh ban for a comment you've heard blokes say a billion times before between them.

You won't see any of those twunts on here I'll bet.
Zak has accepted the punishment and will come out a better person for it. Onwards!
