until it all goes wrong again , as it almost certainly will

Unless he becomes teetotal and never drinks again I'd say it very likely.

Think I must be in the minority who feel Zak will be one of those players who come back to haunt us more than once.
There is know denying he has the talent to be the best FB in SL.
And even if he does go off the rails it might take 3 or 4 years before someone says enough is enough.
If Cas can get 3 or 4 exceptional years out of him then I guess it is good business on their part.
How many years was he at Leeds before we had enough?

He'll keep his nose clean hopefully long enough to try and snag a deal in the NRL.

If anyone will touch him.

As I have said before, I wish him luck, just not against us.

It depends what his next off the rails episode is and how serious. Do think many are under appreciating how important Luke Dorn was to Cas' attack in the final part of the pitch, even if Hardaker can improve that weakest part of his game it'll have to be by some decent margin to offer more than or as much as Dorn.

He's in the perfect environment to learn.

Hardaker will offer a damn sight more than Dorn in defence and I was a big fan of Dorn with ball in hand, he was a poor last line of defence though.

I think they might miss Solomona more than Dorn tbh.

Dorn for all his worth wasn't the only reason you lost the cup final but his contribution to your defeat was significant.
