Find it bit strange that rugby league backchat made no mention of hardaker this week.

Court case on the horizon it's best left alone you can easily land yourself in trouble discussing it in the media

I have been in his company plenty of times through my work and he comes across as a very intelligent man. Other people who I know know him personally same the same. Don’t believe everything you hear on Internet forums from Leeds and cas fans

That explains a few things then

There’s a difference between being socially amicable and intelligent.
Zak’s polite, well spoken and pretty humble most of the time.
Trouble is, when he’s with his mates and/or when he’s had a drink, he’s a arrogant, immature young man who makes really poor choices. Like assault, class A drug use and drink driving. I’m afraid that generally overrides his usually amicable persona.

Ah right, so you and Zak are intelligent **** sniffers?

Maybe that’s the difference if you’re in his company “through work”. I’ve been around him a number of times when he’s just out with mates. They’re idiots but so is he, I helped throw him in a taxi and get him home when he wanted to fight one of his mates on a night out in 2016 the same night England played France in an international....he later cried foul that he wasn’t picked for the England squad that year, maybe if it bothered him so much he should’ve been getting his head down that night focusing on getting his England shirt back instead of needing to be pulled away from fighting.

When did beating up students (which was reported in various news outlets and not just on forums) constitute intelligence? Or calling a ref a homophobic slur.

Very true.drink changes many people in many different ways. Some are happy, some are sleepy and some are funny. Then there are those, the category that Zak falls in, that are complete p#$cks and think they are 10 men, wanting to fight the world and having no regard for anything or anyone in their path. These people shouldn't drink.

Quite, it was in the week leading up to Leeds first Super League too. He was out with some of our Academy players, showing them how to behave, being a role model.

He just needs to be out of the game, for good.

100% agree. He does our game no favours

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-england-45822780 He actually tried to run away from the police.

This bit pees me off.

"The conviction could have a devastating effect on his career."

I find it hard to have sympathy for a homophobic drunk driver.

His driving could have had a devastating effect on somebody'd life - RL is just a game a form of entertainment.

Does anyone know what fine band he was penalised under? You can use that to calculate his weekly income.
