Would have thought William would have gone back into hiding again, after his embarrassment of poor efforts on this thread.

Lucky us eh.

Hardaker should have been sacked by the club in June after being found guilty of homophobic abuse directed at a referee. That was MjM's opinion and it's an opinion I happen to agree with. So much for being given second chances and to grow up... oh well... he's now on his third, though some might argue it's now his fourth!

Loved this quote of yours concerning Hardaker and his exit from the England camp during the RLWC last season.....

[i"He [Hardaker] was the only Leeds player not sent home from the [England] squad. He left, as already pointed out, the rest were sent home at the end" [/i

MEGA

Another classic quote from that thread link I posted above, from McDermott's biggest fan no less...

[i"Hardaker let himself and the club down badly with his chav behaviour during the World Cup. The club quite rightly disciplined him and the lad has responded well with much improved performances this season. Seems to me our coach Big Mac deserves some credit in all this as his handling of Hardaker has achieved a positive result"[/i

Yes William , made the dream team , made one mistake during the season with a comment that he should not have made but i am sure far worse has been said without being picked up , oh and also made threads on this board that have shown you up for the Dic$ you are

Well at least that's over with, I don't have to abandon the sport completley.

The whole thing has left a sour taste, like how they've magically come to a conclusion just after hardaker criticises them. I imagine if he'd kept his mouth shut the RFL would have let it run......and run.......and run.......and run.......and run.........and run....

f*cking idiots.

appears I owe him an apology on this occasion, so I apologise.

No he shouldn't.

Quite a few people do,well done for owning up, the whole thing has been a disgrace and some of the posters should be ashamed by their comments, the whole thing has been trial,by social media and a witch hunt, and now we know.

Hardaker needs to make suspicious looking mouth movements at every opportunity during games. Work the RFL into a froth & tie up the match review panel for weeks on end.

No doubt there will be those who say not enough evidence to bring charges doesn't equate to him having done nothing wrong. They would be more convinced if he had been charged & found not guilty?

Maybe the R.L can move on to more serious alledged incindents that have been happening

Apart from the RFL,and the muppets on here that base their opinions of Zak on unsubstantiated allegations, the ones that should be apologising to Zak Hardaker are the members of the media at the post match press conference that created the maelstrom in the first place.Who were they,does anybody know.

The journalists don't need to apologise. The RFL have along with the clubs, a duty of care towards the players and treating them fair. Journalists job is to make headlines and get people to read/listen/watch and get them reading, listening and talking about......in this case they did their job just fine, the RFL didn't. The harsh reality is journalists have no duty or obligation towards Hardaker.

Depends if they are R.L. journalists in my opinion

There is good and bad journalism.That fuelled by innuendo and twitter gossip (based on what?) is bad journalism in my eyes.It makes you wonder was there an agenda.Does the journo highlighting the gossip require anonyminity?
