Quote ="The Yellow Giraffe"A genuine question for you Leeds fans - if Hardaker is found guilty of saying "fu**ing puff," whether that be by his own admission, a lip reader or evidence submitted by Silverwood and/or Saints players, then would anyone have any complaints with a ban?
People seem to be focussing more on the process that the RFL have taken as opposed to what Hardaker is being accused of doing.
The RFL haven't covered themselves in glory with the way they have acted here but it's a means to an end in a way. If Hardaker is guilty of saying "fu**ing puff" then he deserves to be banned, simple as that.'"
I am a Leeds fan and a supporter of Zak Hardaker. If Hardaker is found guilty of saying "fu**ing puff," whether that be by his own admission, a lip reader or evidence submitted by Silverwood and/or Saints players then I will whole heartedly welcome his ban. If any player uses homophobic language then they should be banned. My only complaint is with those fans who seem to forget that a person is innocent until they've been proven guilty.
As for the process that the RFL are following, they couldn't have found a better way to cause a huge inflammatory storm if they tried!
