You mean he went to a bonfire.

Update today is that Hardaker is still expected to leave with a deal hopefully done this week.

Yes, the event was a bonfire but that's not really the point. It would seem strange to go to an official Cas event given the current circumstances and the strong rumours he may join Cas. I would imagine he spent the night giving vague answers to supporters!

Cas fans have been some of the most vitriol over hardaker and his behaviour, hope he signs for them just to see how quickly they change there spots. But I think he will be at Salford of Giants

[quote="Gotcha in 2016":12w08s93]McDermott is going. I actually think he is more relaxed because of it, and seems to have let the shackles go. He apparently asked to finish the season, and that is what they agreed.[/quote:12w08s93] :lol: :lol: :lol::d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_11388.jpg

There's also the small matter of Zak abusing Cas fans on Twitter during one of his meltdowns, saying he'd never play for such a tin pot club. icon_lol.gif

By the same token, Leeds fans have been very forgiving and forgetful of Hardaker's serial miscreancy for several years, up until the club finally decided he was a toxic influence and wanted rid. Those same fans have changed their spots and now want rid of him too. It's almost as if their opinions are directed by the club... [ibaa-aaa-aaa[/i.

I'm a Rhinos fan who will be sad to see him go.
The overall saga reflects badly on the club that they could not get him to alter his ways but even more so on Hardaker who seems incapable of listening to advice given that was well-meant.
Seemingly likely to be going to the Giants.

icon_rolleyes.gif Really? ALL Leeds fans? I recall a lot of critism of Hardaker on this forum. I suspect over a period of time, most came to the same conclusion as the club appear to have, that the ability he has, was outweighed by the perpetual brain farts that seem unherent in his character.

Still why let reality curb your zeal for a wind up and a pop at the club and its fans? icon_lol.gif

Oh, you did icon_cool.gif

This forum practically went into meltdown in defending Hardaker and his homophobia.

It was a question that's what the curly thing with a dot under it signifies. But in any case, you specified SOME Leeds fans rather than the generic "Leeds fans" then. Oh hang on a minute, no you didn't, you used your usual broad brush generalisations.

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg



There was plenty of support on here for Hardakers homophobic abuse of Child now those same defenders are now on his case for his poor behaviour!!

There were also a number of Leeds fans on here who weren't sure that CCTV of Hardaker (and Minchella) inside that student accommodation prior to the assault taking place was Hardaker.

Rose-tinted glasses and all that!

Not mentioning any names of course... COUGH... TOMCAT.

Later trip to the opticians notwithstanding icon_cool.gif

I remember the thread leading up to the banning of Hardaker, one i did not post on but i do recall There were a lot of people defending him before that as it wasn't conclusive that Zak had aimed anything at Child up to that point. That was the argument, I would hardly call it supporting Homophobic abuse. I also remember that thread was blocked just before the hearing so anything said after in his defence after that i don't recall you will have to enlighten me, but my own view was very much that he was on very thin ice and drinking in last chance saloon.

Some rush to judgement one way or the other, some keep an open mind others just like to stir the crock of dung to get a reaction. Which category do you fit into I wonder Billy Boy. Demoted to 3rd rate wind up merchant. icon_moon.gif icon_thumb.gif
