On the other hand you could look at it that the RFL do have evidence and they are carefully putting a case together that could not be challenged by the player or Leeds Rhinos.
If they had nothing then surely they would have said by now or within a day or so of looking at it.
Glass half full today it seems from me.
As for our Hull contributor.
I do go into the Southstand and have never heard us sing anything about trawlers.
Unlike some Hull fans who sing songs about a person`s colour or creed and homophobic songs about ex players of theirs.

Correct, even if he has said it, the emphasis is on the RFL to prove that he has said it. It was just the way the quote came across to me. As Gotcha said seeing the full article it would probably come across differently

that's a hole in one

Very selective hearing havent you.

sing when your fishing ,nowt to do with trawlers.

Different song

South stand have sung "down with the trawlers" dont deny it

I often stand in the South Stand, not always but often. I can't remember hearing anything about trawlers either.

Don't get me wrong the South Stand sing some stupid and offensive songs sometimes. I particularly hate the "shoot the <insert club name> scum" one.

But I don't remember one about trawlers.

I'll add I've never heard the trawlers one. Heard it from the Kop at Elland Road but never at Headingley

No further action. Case closed.

As Wheels just said

"Following an investigation into an incident".

Like how they have backed down so far that they aren't even specifcally referring to what was being investigated, other than "an incident".

Potentially they are not on about Zak, rather the drunk lads in the Saints end that were wearing bedsheets..?

We should now follow suit - no more are the words 'homophobia', 'allegation', 'insult', 'gay' allowed, nor is any name calling of anyone, by anyone.

Henceforth, it shall only be 'the incident'.

Reminds me of the 'Jehovah' thing on Life of Brian.

Oops! I said it now - stoning for me!

As i thought Was always going to be the case, and why i refrained from entering into the 'debate' with some of the all knowing numpteys who have 'contributed' to the 90 odd pages here.

Aww, does that mean we'll lose the gompers from off this site? We were so close to 100 pages as well!
What's the betting Silverwood will be reffing on Saturday?

He'll probably still get booed by opposition supporters though...

Hopefully Hardaker can put this horrible mess behind him and concentrate on the job in hand.

Where are all those total f*cking idiots now posting their bull$hit?

Drafting another email to the RFL no doubt?

Those idiots not even restricted to jelous opposition fans. We had our own idiots aswell on this very thread. Not even the opposition ones were as stupid as one of our own in calling for him to be sacked. Sacked for nothing.

Can't believe the RFL an not be man enough to even issue an apology to his family.

oooooh i can believe it.

Are the RFL going to investigate Silverwoods report / failing to report to the set procedure?

The RFL haven't mentioned Zak's name at any point in this investigation. Only Leeds Rhinos did.

He's down as the VR, Bentham is the match referee.

I know they haven't. And I also know for a fact that Flanagan was investigated also for what he did and said. However, the perception from the media was entirely on Hardaker and homophobic comments, without any correction from the RFL. Because of that other people were affected.

Time to lock this thread.
Nothing more to add

Need to keep the thread open or else Gotcha will be starting a new thread demanding justice for Hardaker's mummy.

Or a thread demanding justice for Hardaker over [url=http://www.rlfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=17761639#p17761639HOLIDAYGATE![/url
