Maybe someone like Sinfield needs to get hold of him. Is it a coincidence that the 'old guard' of Leeds leave the club and Zac goes downhill?
He had 5 years of having Sinfield and Peacock as a teammate and still had the likes of good professionals like JJB, Burrow, Hall etc. there this year. I'm pretty sure senior guys have had plenty of advice for him over the years.
When someone keeps promising to fix his ways and then repeat offends the patience level thins. If you're one of those senior guys at the club who have tried to give Hardaker advice previously you'd rightly be annoyed at him for not taking it on board.
Peacock said after last year ended how angry he was at Hardaker for potentially derailing our season before it had hardly begun, and he has a point. Put yourself in Peacock & Sinfield's position. Your last season, want to end on the best possible high and your starting FB almost gets himself in a position where the club have to sack him a few games in. It's disrespectful to his teammates to continue having these unprofessional episodes and not take his career as seriously as he possibly could when he's had a few warnings already.
