word out of the stanningley club house is that cas tried to get zak on the cheap knowing that we would not be playing him in 2017 irrespective of what he wanted to do.
cas then tried to make out that they lost interest in signing him if they couldn't get him for their valuation,and that their 2017 squad was then complete when we wouldn't agree to their terms of the offer
but surprisingley as soon as the giants and salford came in for him they were then trying to offload players left right and Centre for 2017 to be able to get him signed up
imo he's cas bound and the rhinos have received a decent fee for his release which was well above what cas' initial offer was
i think zak is without doubt the best fb in sl,but he needs to move on to progress his career,hence why the rhinos will not have him on their roster for 2017 under any circumstances what so ever.despite zak thinking otherwise and that he thought that he would be welcomed back with openened arms after his penrith experience
time will tell whether or not if zak can full fill his potential,but imo it's a shame that he had too many outside influences to do it whilst at leeds
