Billy's asinine response was to MjM but don't let your lack of comprehension skills ever get in the way of your next 'apologist for a serial abuser' cause. Sales are well down at Jaconellis in Scarborough these days if you ever fancy an ice cream.

Has he been found guilty? Hadn't heard

Not to my knowledge, but apparently he's already guilty to many of the posters in this thread.

These people preach about tolerance etc in society yet they forget one of the very things that our society is built on, innocent until proven guilty.

I find this rush to judgment.........offensive.

Not many really if you ignore the trolls, which people just don't seem to want to do.

Far too many people who preach about tolerance only display tolerance to people whose opinions agree with theirs.

I used to work in University halls of residence and the thing that used get said between all the students was 'you gay so and so' I wonder if those who have now graduated and now playing another code of rugby are still saying and getting away with it on the field

Hasn't Hardaker been beheaded yet for urinating on the grave of Freddy Mercury?

This lip-reader is taking their time aren't they.

According to some on here hardaker is a bona fide headcase/basket case/miscreant.

Let's take a look at his rap sheet:

Called someone a fag in the heat of battle.
Got drunk when he shouldn't have.

Anyone who thinks that constitutes being a headcase is either trolling or is still sucking on their mamas titties into their 40's.

Wonder if those that have called him a nut job, basket case etc. have stopped to consider that they might be offending people with mental health issues with those words they're using.

There are, at best, half a dozen pieces of evidence in this case: first and foremost the video; the referees report; and the testimonies of Zak and those around him. That's all there is, and if after nearly two weeks of looking at evidence that could have been compiled in two hours and reviewed in twenty minutes they are still unable to reach a decision then for me the RFL are only proving their own incompetence.

I'm of the opinion that this delay is actually prejudicing the Rhinos chances. We're having to plan for play offs not knowing what our squad will be. If he's found guilty, however they come to that conclusion, and they were to hit him with the same five game ban he would now miss the Grand Final (should we make it) whereas had they come to that conclusion in a timely fashion he would have been available. If I were GH, then unless Zak himself admitted it or the RFL provided irrefutable proof (which seems highly unlikely as no one on this thread has been able to provide anything of the sort) then any guilty verdict would be challenged to the furthest degree possible.


One more thing, you can't go foguilty on balance of probability because if you did you'd have to say he didn't do it -I've seen Zak swear dozens of times on TV and only once was it followed by anything homophobic.

The people who are insisting this isn't a witch hunt do keep upping the ante. Banning isn't enough, sack him. What next? Burning at the stake?

Isn't that what they do at the end of a witch hunt.
