I think that's a little ott, how has the club "left him out to dry"?

Bit boring though, bothering to find out the facts before making a judgement. They could have sold him to wigan by now.

With a bit of luck the statement will put to bed all the rumours that have been flying around ere the last day or two

He messed up

He knows he messed up

The club take a dim view

The club fine him

He pays the fine and apologises to everyone concerned

Let him have a few weeks off to get over it

Return to pre season and rip it up to make amends

Job done, unless someone more in the know has a better version & is willing to share.

Or as clearwing says flog him to wigan

BDL plain and simple - wasn't the first, won't be the last.

Let's hope this is the last of it and and the BDL is a little more sensible next time.

Not much of a mention of Kearney in that.

"I have paid a heavy price and will now miss out on my dream of helping England win the World Cup," he said.
"I am sorry for any embarrassment I have caused and my focus now is on moving forward next season and putting these events behind me."

Fair enough.

Exactly.

Well done Leeds from a PR and management perspective.

Let's hope he has learned his lesson and he can kick on from here.

So what has he done?

The England RL set up could learn a thing or two about PR & management from the Rhinos.

So could Salford, they just have some rich bloke shooting from the hip.

Lets hope its done and dusted and he learns from it aswell as coming back in 2014 ready to kick on show what a quality player he is.

Well said rhinoms.
Without really knowing what's happened, could this, at least in part, be down to a pretty rapid rise for Hardaker? It's less than 4 years since he was playing for Featherstone Lions and he's now Leeds first choice full back and vying for the England spot? If Tomkins wasn't so bloody good he'd easily be England full back.

Only a thought.

I take it G1, Tad and Harrigan are going to admit their 'in the know' snippets were in fact a load of cr@p then? You know like if anyone else posted rumours with the whole protecting the source blah blah blah or little snippets of vague information when in fact it's a load of rubbish would get torn apart for...

oh surprise surprise.......any comment ?

Will you admit you can't comprehend? Never claimed to be in the know. In fact, I specifically said....



I made the relevant bit large to assist.

I heard a rumour, I repeated it on a message board. If that kind of thing gets under your skin, may I suggest logging off or watching videos of kittens on youtube.

wow, that was easy

Ah, the old "he's taken the bait" get-out post. Smooth move.

ah the old 'hey G1 please like me' response. Smooth move.

Just send him to Wire as a punishment

You are bit like another poster on here who tries suggest all the rumours are rubbish without actually knowing whether the are correct or not.

Do you know the circumstances around Zac's departure? if not you are not in a postion to critisise, could I suggest you either put up or shut up.

Yes. A few posts before this one.

I still don't know what actually happened. If you do, from any reliable source, please share it.

And your X-Files bit about the lies continuing because we keep swallowing them still makes me chuckle. It's one of the reasons you're my favourite.

Nice to have you back. Don't stay away so long next time. I missed you.

You are not really helping yourself here if I'm honest, until you put some substance into your high horse litte rant it's hard to reply.

I will ask again, what was the rfl "cover up" and what were the "lies" we were naively "swallowing"?
