Who's that?

Cockyane

The video was truly horrific - he got off because it was allegedly an insult to a family member that caused him to lose his marbles

Agree, it was attempted murder, but he claimed he "thought he was back in Iraq and had a flashback"

Oddly Rovers sacked him after a few racist outbursts on Facebook.



Then spent £30k on a transfer fee to get him back.

So he deserves all he gets IMO

whereas you are all class.

if he called him a puff, he will be banned and rightly so.

Doesnt look like it to me though, looks too long and anyone saying he definitely said it is clearly lying.

No charge.

Hardly a surprise given the 'evidence' that even expert lip readers would have struggled to make anything of.

Can we move on now?

Until the next leeds game on sky when the witch hunters can scan the recording for anything potentially dodgy, upload a video, then campaign for a ban on forums, twitter and facebook.

It is now thought it was a four word blast and whilst the last 3 were THE MAGIC DRAGON the first word could not be made out by expert lip readers .

whole thing was pathetic

Do we now get an apoligie for standing by him, from those who claimed we were loons for defending him, and definatly definatly definatly said something.
Just proved people will believe anything if it's suites their agenda

...but ...but ...but he blew another bloke a kiss so he MUST have called him a puff, a Saint's fan said so, so it has to be true.

My god man..check your spell checker: electronic or organic

Sod off grammar police I have to check my spelling all day at work. Can't be d in my free time who gives a damn about the odd spelling mistake

It might have escaped your notice but the whole concept of a consistent spelling reform was designed to make it easier for us all to understand each other better. "Can't be d" meens wee cud agen orl spell how wee wont two and it then meks reeding a reet bluddy chaw

I like how this implies it somehow takes longer / is more effort to spell correctly than not. Like 'definately' somehow is less effort to type than 'definitely', or that spelling correctly is something that you only do at work, before 'gowing bak two spelling rong inn you're own thyme'.

@BBCLookNorth: LN understands Leeds Rhino's Zac Hardaker is being investigated for making an alleged homophobic comment in Friday's game against St Helens.

Obviously I don't know for sure if he said it not, but regardless of whether he did the whole 'trial by internet' thing is becoming a bit of a joke now.

If he said it then there's going to be some explaining to do, I seriously hope he didn't.

Who are the allegations from? Saints? The Ref? If its from fans of opposition teams or the public the RFL have lost the plot.

its the blowing a kiss thats as damning as whether or not what he said it leads you into believing he did. hope he doesnt get charged as i could see an 8 match ban

Surely they would only react to allegations from the opposition or the ref. I'm not a Leeds fan but I sincerely hope he hasn't let himself down again. If so, he really needs some counselling.

Yeah that's what I said when people asked my opinion on it, even if he didn't say it - it doesn't look good with him blowing a kiss leading up to it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see his ban from last doubled, 10 games if he's found guilty which I sincerely hope not. They would need solid evidence of the incident, a colleague of mine has just watched the vine replay of it and said no way can you say for certain what is said and he isn't a rugby fan.

That's the biggest pile of bull$hit about the whole thing! What has blowing a kiss at somebody got to do with being homophobic. When did blowing a kiss become a gay slur?



is this homophobic?

Are you for real?

If so, I'd suggest that it's you who has "lost the plot". Anyone who finds what Hardaker allegedly said or did offensive can lodge a valid complaint. Perhaps you'd like to see the law changed?

I think it's vital to know who has made the allegation. It may be the RFL acting on its own.
If not the accuser or accusers need to be identified to see if they have an hidden agenda .
Blowing a kiss was a bit childish , but in the grand scheme of things no big deal.
The whole thing is starting to look like a witch hunt.
If they hit him with a ban I think he would be away to to Aussie land pretty damm quick. I for one would not blame him.
