Hardaker not clear of trouble yet

Quote: knockersbumpMKII "The RFL are showing (for a change) due diligance in making sure they are absolutely as far as they can be what the facts are.
In something as serious as this (given Hardakers very recent misdemeanor) to rely on one piece of evidence alone could leave them on shaky ground when it comes down to it.
As MS mentions, it's easy enough for referees not to remember verbatim exactly what was said, he has to concentrate every single minute of the game on differing types of situations. It isn't that his report isn't accurate as an absolute..that would be impossible, because any point in time isn't always recalled as vivedly as another so to say X time/game the ref remembered everything without a shadow of doubt can't be compared to another occasion when he may have heard/seen something said but wasn't 100% sure.

In which case given how serious it [icould[/i be for Hardaker should he be proven guilty then they rightly have to show as far as possible that he is guilty, if there's a doubt then he isn't. That isn't a witch hunt, that's doing the right thing for everyone concerned!
It is their duty to uphold both the laws of the sport AND in this case actually what might be another criminal offence.

But of course whino fans & their club seemingly aren't interested in following up on something that could put the sport in a massively negative light if they just gloss over it as they are suggesting the RFL do by their stance
Jesus how pathetic, bigoted and narrowminded are some people, including the Leeds club.
if even after a lip reader has looked at whatever footage they have and can't be sure then the RFL would be left with little choice to say they've investigated and it isn't 100% clear so a warning for foul language.
If he is guilty and at this moment in time that is still a big if, then yes, it isn't good for the player, BUT it makes rugby league one of the very few sports to crack down on this sort of behaviour..that we will not as a family sport tolerate this kind of thing both from the players/clubs POV nor from fans.

THAT should be applauded instead of being labelled as witch hunting or are you whino fans & your nasty little club seriously suggesting the RFL and everyone else should sweep these types of things under the carpet and be ignored? Really..are you, because pretty much everything said so far including the ridiculous 'trail by social media' tag suggests that's exactly what should happen? Idiots
Disgraceful post.
