What ask him on a date.

He said Puff.

It does appear he called him an effin puff. Something happened just prior to it. When Zac was tackled to force the drop out he reacted to something Flanaghan did or said. There is no video evidence so just a hypothesis on my part but I think Flanaghan offered a cheeky 'squirrel grip' which would explain the name calling and kiss blowing.

Whatever it was had more than one syllable, he was saying the second syllable as he was turning away.

Anyone saying it was "definitely" this, that or the other word is nuts.

He was tackled by Flanaghan so it's an impressive effort by lms

Don't think he says that at all but I'm not a professional lip reader.

Looks more like a 'B' than a 'P' after watching it several million times on that Vine.

The better Hardaker gets, the more RL 'fans' in this country will bag him for anything they can. Unfortunate, but a symptom of the bitter, jealous nature of RL 'fans' in this country, and the Sports' biggest challenge of ever growing and appealing to the mainstream media.

My apologies to LMS. I thought it was him as the sky cameras kept flicking between him and Hardaker. I had the sound turned off and was listening to Widnes demolishing Wigan so had no idea what they were talking about.

I'll edit my post

How is this acceptable?? I'm all for debating but I don't understand how you're not banned yet.

A bigger challenge than making a star out of someone kicked out of a world cup squad in disgrace who also happens to be a homophobe?

I seriously cannot tell what he says from that replay, I'm not really bothered either.

You can't tell fom the replay. Watching as it happened it was as clear as night follows day.(Unless you are from Leeds, of course).

I was just being picky as I thought lms had a great game (which is more than a little unusual!)

lms fronted up to him after the he went for Flanaghan.

I don't think it was a squirrel grip, but potentially a twist at the knee (wasn't particularly watching it, but I'll double check in the replay!) jjb also had a chicken wing tackle on about 70minutes on Roby (I think)

thought he said "Prick"

As I said, just a hypothesis but something happened in that tackle. Doesn't detract from the fact that Zac has been a silly boy again I just thought it offered an explanation.

Some people clearly believe what they want to be
Believe and won't deviate from their agenda. They want hardaker hung drawn and quartered with out real evidence or trial. And if the RFL don't do any thing then Leeds run the RFL and are a joke etr etr etr.

Pot and kettle?

Without real evidence? I guess video isn't enough for some people then...

The only joke here is you.

Agreed entirely, if there was a twist or whatever else then Flanaghan should be appropriately punished, but that doesn't mitigate what happened in anyway, especially as this isn't the first this season!

What video evidence. A player mutters something and everyone's a lip reading expert. You just can't stop blind hating a player and club. Bet you believe everything you read and see on TV too.

I watched it back a couple of times as I was curious as to what caused the reaction. I couldn't see anything even remotely conclusive so unless there is another camera angle it will likely remain a mystery.

As good as Hardaker is, he has an attitude problem ( not the homophobic issue ) that will haunt him throughout his carreer if he doesnt grow out of it

It is almost as if he believes nobody is allowed to tackle him, my son had the same problem, he grew out of it by the age of 7

Don’t let him / her in on it

A Leopard doesn't change its spots. He reminds me of Todd Carney an undoubted talent but has his finger on the self distruct button.
