Also quite funny if you look at the forums of all the other teams in SL on RLFans the only ones with threads going on about Hardaker getting charged and banned are.....Warrington, Saints, Wigan and Hudds.

So solely the other contenders for the GF when the year began.......coincidence I'm sure

I'm flattered that you think the Giants are contenders for the GF- but is that as much a lie as the comment about the thread that doesn't exist on the giants board? No thread on hardaker I think you'll find- although the ban is mentioned in the match thread- it would be weird if it didn't seeing as we are discussing the game to be played against you in three days. And the first two comments about hardaker bring missing are from Leeds fans- but don't you let silly things like facts get in the way of a good rant.

Have to agree Old Feller. For my money Child and Mick Monas grassed Hardaker up, for something that is probably said 100 times every SL game.

Not condoning the connotations, but feel a sense of perspective is needed here.

So do you think it was James Child and Monaghan who posted that clip all over social media sites ?
The RFL couldn't ignore Zacs actions when so many people from all different walks of life had seen it.
I think thats why he put his hands up and admitted it. Its a fair cop guv.

Actually, I think it a little unfair to suggest the press office wrote the statement. There's plenty of big words and some well crafted sentences in there and I think Hardaker needed the six or seven days between the (alleged) offence and his heartfelt apology to put it together. After all, had he really been sorry, surely he'd have said something sooner, without waiting to see the extent of the public outcry.....

Hardaker will get the maximum ban I fear (is that 6 games?).

The notion of a bunch of Big Daft Lads playing full on professional Super League Rugby having a lexicon of 'OK' sledging terms is Orwellianly brilliant

What's on the list lads?

F**cking C*nt

T*sser

W*nker

Hey ho there's loads more I'm sure...another one for Brian McDermott and his coaching team to sort out

But what if the Saint Helens, Wigan fans, and Smokey were listening in? Would it still break their little soles?

Re: Zak Hardaker - Statement : Tue Jun 10, 2014 1:12 pm  

I'm comfortable with the size of my soles. They fit my shoes and thats all one can ask isnt it Gotcha.

No news on Hardaker yet but Weyman of HKR has had his 2 match ban for swearing at a ref rescinded.

Bet Hudgell isn't complaining about that decision.
