Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakahokia mai e Leeds Rhinos a Zak Hardaker ki te akoranga whakahaere riri i muri i te wehenga o tētahi ākonga ki ngā kanohi pango e rua me ngā whākōkī i te wā o tētahi aitua nanakia i te marama o Hui-tanguru. Ko Hardaker te pokapū o te rangahau a te pirihimana mo te whakaekenga i tetahi tangata 22-tau-tau i nga whare o te akonga i Leeds, engari kaore i whakawakia mo tetahi hara. I tukuna e Leeds tetahi korero roa e whakaatu ana i te whiu a Hardaker, ka kite ano ia i te whiu mo te marama kotahi kia tohaina ki tetahi mahi atawhai a rohe, me te mahi tae atu ki te 20 haora i te wiki mo te kaupapa o te karapu mo te roa o tana kirimana. I utua e Hardaker me tana hoa kapa a Elliot Minchella te £ 200 hei utu me te tuhi i tetahi reta whakapae ki tetahi tangata 22-tau-tau i muri i te tirotirohanga a te pirihimana engari i kii a Leeds ko te whiu a Hardaker he kaha ake 'i runga i tana whanonga kino o mua'. Kua tukuna e Leeds Rhinos a Zak Hardaker (pokapū me te poi) ki te akoranga whakahaere riri. Ko te kaitakaro o Ingarangi kotahi-cap i whiwhi i te aukati e rima-takaro me te whiu mo te korero homophobic i mahia i tera tau, a i whiua ano hoki e Ingarangi mo te takahi i te whakatakotoranga kapa i te 2013 World Cup. Ko te korero mai i Leeds i panui: 'Kua whakaaetia e te karapu tana whakapae mo ana mahi, engari, na tana mahi kino o mua, kua mohio a Zak ko ana mahi, kaua ko ana kupu, me whakaatu inaianei i ana whakaaro ki te waiho i enei kaupapa ki muri i a ia.' I haere tonu: 'Kua pahemo atu matou i te korero ki a ia he aha tana mahi, heoi, mo te wa tuatahi kua whakaae a Zak ki a matou, me te mea nui ake ki a ia ano, he take kei a ia me nga waahanga o tona momo oranga e hiahia ana ia ki te whakapai ake. 'Kua whakarongo mātou ki tana i whakaū ai ki te mahi mō ia anō, ā, ka tautoko mātou i a ia.' I whiwhi Minchella i tētahi whakatūpato ā-tuhi me tētahi whiu mō te 50 ōrau o tana utu ā-marama, i whiua hoki ōna hoa kapa a Rob Mulhern, Josh Walters me Ash Handley, ā, i tukuna he whakatūpato ā-waha. E ai ki te pirihimana, e rua nga kanohi pango o te akonga me te kaki whara i te wa o te aitua. I whiua a Hardaker e rima nga tukinga me te utu mo te korero homophobic...
I whakaputaina e Leeds Rhinos he korero e whakaatu ana i te whiu a Zak Hardaker. Kua tukuna a Hardaker ki tētahi akoranga whakahaere riri e te karapu. E rua ngā kanohi pango o tētahi ākonga, ā, kua whati te kaki i te aitua i te whare noho. Kāore he tangata i whakawakia, engari ko ētahi atu kaitākaro o Leeds i whiua.
