3 game ban in the NRL for an under 20s Origin player doing something similar.

If its any consolation, the disciplinary committee for NRL is just as inconsistent. Mind you, Ben Galea is on the panel

What did Hardaker do?

Ah right, people are to easy offended these days.

You think it's acceptable what Hardraker said?

What did actually say? just read homophobic comments

Shouldn't be as far as i'm aware.

They grade the offences don't they and it has nothing to do with a players previous?

How Scott Moore has got away with that is beyond me. Every bit as bad as Crookes.

I don't want to put it on here, but what looked to have said to the ref was unacceptable, he is a rile model, I one match ban would be acceptable, but I think he will get off as it will be hard to prove what he actually said, unless the ref put it in his report.

If the evidence is the sky sports video it might be hard to prove him guilty.

I wouldn't say anything of that nature is acceptable, but I do think these things can get blown out of proportion. Cant find the video footage, so cant really comment to much

Well it's National news now so it will get investigated by the RFL I am sure, on the Leeds board there is a link to a well know video site that is suppose to show it.

Interested to see what happens here.

I think it's on youtube as well

not that I can see, just someone from the L**ds board has linked to some speech specialist saying sound a lip ,movements don't always correlate.

Some of the wriggling from Leeds fans has been quite amusing tbh.

They'll be claiming Hardaker wasn't actually playing in that game next.

Would it also be against the law of the land to call someone a f****** F******?

I was just being ironic due to the poster seemingly believing that you can't mention youtube on here

It's pathetic, if it was a Wigan player who had done that they would be going nuts, same with lots defending Ablett for his kick to the head.
