Just proves the value of a good leader and what I said about not having one since him and why we should still be looking but if there isn't anyone we won’t bother and stay as we are and have a squad of followers with no one to follow which is exactly what we often look like game after game, leaderless and clueless.

It was his birthday a few days ago and had a pre booked holiday scheduled with his family.

This was put on Fax's website at the time of the suspension:

"Zack McComb was found guilty of Grade F verbal abuse in a recent Betfred Championship fixture during tonight’s RFL tribunal hearing. He has been suspended for eight matches, and fined £500.

As a club, we don’t condone any abuse based on race, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, national or ethnic origin or any other form of Unacceptable Language or Behaviour

We’ll be launching our own internal disciplinary investigation as per our club policies and procedures. Neither the club nor the player will be making any further statement until this investigation is concluded"

Incidentally it was indeed Zack's birthday, as faxcar has pointed out, last Monday and he was 29.

Suppose it's all in keeping with all the other bull going on at the club this season...

Unusual for a player to be allowed to book a holiday in season unless its on a free week.

Especially when a free trip to the south of France is on the cards!
