Excepting Homophobic, his Twitter rant has given me, and seemingly many others, grounds to say he has been silly, daft and stupid.
The RFL saying they are investigating is fair comment as the nature of any slur (should there be one) is serious in today's social climate. Also, the RFL's guidelines/rules have been posted on here regarding anyone having to suffer abuse and as all are signed up to it, including us fans, the RFL have to police it to ensure this terrific family sport we have doesn't become like football. We have to provide good role models, attract sponsors, as well as endeavour to show the outside world that we know its the twenty first century.
My standpoint is that despite his previous, he is innocent. Should there be something (lip reading, ref's equipment, witness statements) to clearly show he called someone a puff (especially as there didn't seem to be much to warrant this outburst), he should get a larger ban and fine than last time as he's had a chance to learn. Flanagan should also be looked at as part of the investigation.
