www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/27771167 Well just a few weeks after completing a 5 match ban for homophobic abuse here we have him again on our screens blowing a kiss followed by F****** Puff! What a bright spark and role model to the kids this lad is. Ban him for 10!

Yeah, like that'll happen .

Yes,I know what you mean!

Careful what you say....Rollin Thunder will spring to Zak's defence...

Saw it but still can't believe he did it. I honestly don't think he knows he's doing wrong.

Certainly does look like he said that. Silly boy.

On twitter he as admitted saying that but as tryed to pass it as banter

I just think the Leeds fans reactions are pathetic.

Some are yes, there are times you can't defend the indefensible.

The lad is either a raging homophobe, or as thick as mince - or possibly both.

Couple that with the constant abuse of the official by the South Stand every time a decision went against Leeds, and it doesn't make for a very edifying showcase for RL at the highest level.

'Banter' just like the LMA tried to pass off Malky Mackays text's last week.Afraid it's the times we live in,you just cannot say these things.An hefty ban and another lesson learnt for the lad.
Also agree with Bren2k comments regarding the South Stand's constant abuse as well,made for great viewing!!

Thought he said "Prick". Thought it more apt for Flanagan's actions than that of a homosexual?

Didn't see anything in Flanagans action, it was just a leg tackle from behind and Hardaker bent his knees so that his feet were up. The main point being there was no twisting or undue pressure placed on the joint unlike the crocodile roll that Peacock did a couple of weeks back.

As for Hardakers alleged homophobic abuse, it'll be interesting to see now whether the RFL take any action or if they'll completely play dumb and pretend it never happened as they in Jamie Peacocks case in the same Warrington game that Zak got done for last time.

how can the RFL ignore this if they was given a direct question from enough viewers to make them take a look at it

McDermott now complaining the sending off cost them the game!! no moon himself cost them the game McDermott new straight away what he'd done by running pitch side.
Bet the southstand wouldn't have been calling the ref a w@ncker if it had been a saints player

no he defo used the homosexual word that's why he also blew a kiss

Why not start a petition?

Don't think the RFL can ignore it.
He's been a silly boy once and in the space of next to no time has done the same thing again.
Best thing for him to do, is wear a gum shield, so no one knows what you are saying!!
Or get loaned out to a team that is very rarely on TV, like Wakey!

and a 10k signed one at that

Oh look the Blind defenders have arrived on here now. Took your time boys?

Most of you on here appear to be on a level with Silverwood

As they do on the VT, Cas forum, Saints forum etc etc.
Only the Leeds fans and a few neutrals seem to agree with you.

Funny that 'eh?

I thought Silverwood had a very good game and made the big decisions without hesitation despite the South Stand

The attitude of the Rhinos fans is disgusting. They need to stop the childish "everyone against Leeds" stance and stop thinking that their players are all innocent angels! Hardaker clearly said f**king puff and anyone who thinks it's okay for him to say that enjoys homophobic abuse in my book.
