Ahhh Hardaker has supposed to of said something and up pops YG again.

I've called my straight friends a faggot before now.

I've also called my gays friends a faggot before now, in fact I refer to one of them as "my favourite faggot" and frequently say this to his face.

I have used a homophobic word on several occasions, am I a homophobe?

5 game ban for you.

I think the clown is a Leyther who is still disgruntled about losing in the Cup to the eventual winners!

Storm in a tea cup time again.

Trouble is last time it was a storm in a tea cup he got a 5 game ban.

Looks like he said f*cking dick to me . As I said on the stains board, if he gets a ban they should be transcribing all picked up audio and banning 10 players per game.

F***ing dick, under the circumstances a fair and reasonable comment.

Hard to get away from the fact that, world class player though he is, Zak is often just a moment away from his next brain explosion.

edited for accuracy

The kids class, I'm a fan. I defended his earlier on this very same thread.

But lets not pretend he's he isn't a nutcase. Only a matter of time.

Agree with Gareth - he has a very short fuse - one that is going blow big style in an important game. Opposition players will have his measure and will exploit it when you least want that to happen.

I'm not sure blowing a kiss and calling someone "a f**king ?????" classifies you as a nutcase. It was clear something went on in the tackle on the ground that Hardaker took exception to, a few others might've gotten into a punch up or kicked out when on the floor and gotten themselves sent off or binned which would be worst.

He's had inappropriate/questionable language and an eye gouge that was clearly accidentally, and thinking he was on an off day during England camp. Whilst it shows a pattern of getting into bother and him not being the brightest button, it's an OTT reaction brought on by the faux outrage of others to think of him of a nutcase with brain explosions.

Meh, it's just the diddy teams fans trying to stir poop. There's a belter on the Wakey board with faux outrage at the South Stand calling Silverwood an onanist. Of course there's never any swearing (or fighting!) at Belle Vue!

How good would that have been, if the SS had Chanted " The Official is an Onanist"? He'd have had to call time off to consult a dictionary

It looks nothing like that to me. I'm no lip reader bit it looks a pretty odd way to say dick.

Substitute the word "dick" for "prick" and it's not odd at all.

My first thought was the c-word. But lip reading from that angle would be tough even for somebody who can lip read.

we going to ban every player who swears then????

I do hope not.

If (big if), Hardaker called somebody a "f**king p*ff" in a televised game then he would deserve his ban for raw stupidity before we even get to dealing with his homophobia.

If he swore colourfully at the guy then I think we can safely enough move along and worry about something more important.

Like cake. I haven't had any cake today and that worries me.

i had 2 scones.
warm.
and with butter and jam on

I went to COSMOS tonight - they have about 20 different cakes, fair to say I tried most of them. I know this has nothing to do with Rugby League but neither has Hardaker calling someone a f**king pr*ck.

It's pretty obvious what he's saying doesn't begin with a D, so yes, it is odd.

They're Leeds Rhinos, they see what they want
