Following an investigation Leeds Rhinos player Zak Hardaker has been charged with the Grade E offence of using verbal abuse based on race, colour, religion, gender, sexual preference, national or ethnic origin in a First Utility Super League match against Warrington Wolves at The Halliwell Jones Stadium on Friday May 30.

Hadaker will appear before an independent disciplinary tribunal on Tuesday evening.

4-8 matches.

4 matches then.

Deserves the full 8.

Correct. Show everyone that this will not be tolerated!!

Just saw a Whino on Twitter say "and yet Tomkins was allowed to insult every Leeds fan on a world stage."

Was he homophobic?

8 games ban means he comes back a week before the semi.

So much for those who said he wouldn't be in trouble because he'd apologised.

4 games is enough is me. Shocking comment but the sun still rose the following day.

I know a lot of Leigh fans who feel aggrieved that his hearing wasn't held last week as it usually would be.

Not wishing to offend anyone this week but will this mean the barking impressions when Joel scores are also out of order ?

If any dog objects then maybe so, until then though, woof.

Hope he gets the full 8 but cant see it, regardless of who he claims to have said it too it needs to be stamped out now!

I would guess he will get a measure of leniency on account of his swift admission and apology.
