Quote: Bull Mania "Simples, the England statement should have read something along the lines of.
Zak Hardaker has decided to withdraw from the England squad for personal issues. This is NOT disciplinary issues. The England camp request Zak be given privacy during this time.
It's really not rocket science, i mean who is Englands PR guy, Mcnamara? I just think the statements England have release do no one any furthers. If Hardaker has been on the pop AGAIN, he should be named and shamed. Mcnamara fields a couple of questions, he looks like a man in charge and we move on. Two weeks now this has been going on. If he hasn't been on the pop again (which i'll be honest looks unlikely) then they have just exposed him to endless speculation.
Also i think Mcnamara owes Tanya Arnold an apology as he basically accused her of lying and making stuff up, and then acted like a child when interviewed post game,'"
The rfl statement says that hardaker asked to leave so why would they need to clarify that it was NOT for disaplinary issues?
