Zak thought he was coming back to Leeds until seeing the quotes from GH in the YEP basically implying he was no longer in their plans so instructed his agent to 'look around' He was more than willing to play for us next season until reading/being told of the GH press release

Need to get rid of this serial miscreant pronto.

It's more disruptive than SPOTY, the Kiwis and floods.

Pretty sure GH quotes in the press was that hardaker had indicated he was not returning to Leeds not the other way round, his agent was already shopping around else were, but it would appear he is not the hot property he thinks he is.

Or the hot property that his agent tells him he is.

Substitute the name Hardaker with the name Moon and you have a repeat of history. Both not wanting to be at a club they were happy to sign a contract with and both looking to get out of that contract

You are wrong.... Moon left Salford because he was home sick, Hardaker is leaving Leeds as he is constantly doing silly things.

Too true. Getting like footballers with agents telling their guys they're the greatest thing since sliced bread. They'll be the source of a lot of rumours you read on here about contract negotiations, bids made, wages etc. that always seemingly are critical of the club, especially the ones we've consistently heard about Hardaker over the years on here. Wouldn't trust their version of events if my life depended on it yet will are labelled a "reliable source" by some.

Don't think Hardaker doesn't want to be at Leeds but his little clique tell him he's amazing and could cut it in the NRL. If he can't get an NRL gig he'd probably want to stay at Leeds.

But GH's/McDermott's thing is about having guys who are committed to the club "show us loyalty first and we'll show it back with interest".....and dont want guys who will mess them about with his antics.

Well the fact that nothing has been announced yet tells me that we won't accept a loan deal, as whilst there will be plenty of NRL clubs willing to do a loan deal, much fewer (if any) will be willing to buy

Either that or we are making sure we have signed a replacement before we let him go (more likely a 7 than a 1 though, as Sutcliffe and possibly watkins would be good enough to be our top fullback)

Re: Hardaker : Sun Oct 16, 2016 8:10 am  

Watkins has been nothing short of crap at full back whenever he's played there. not sure why people are obsessed with moving quality players out of their best position. moon is another one. quality centre, rubbish half back
