I don't think he's fixed up yet, if he has an option in his favour he might activate just to stay earning like French did last year.

Lenagan suggested it was in our favour. I could see him ending up at Fev or Wakey.

It's a strange one.

Zak always seems to find a way to mess up. I don't think it's a particularly bad one this time, but to be honest, never knowing what's going to happen next is just too much hassle for a professional team to have to deal with.

I also won't miss him because I just don't think he's been what we were expecting. The mercurial performances we saw at Castleford feel like they're a lifetime ago now. He's never shown anything like that form for us, so on balance, it's best that he moves on.

I just hope we don't get like-for-like to replace him, but someone much more effective.

Any news on whether he plays Monday yet or was he dropped for the full Easter programme?

Re: Hardaker? : Sat Apr 16, 2022 12:10 pm  

According to Peet he comes back into contention "next week" which I assume means Monday.

Not playing Monday according to Peets Saints preview on Wigan tv.

Not sure if injuries etc from yesterday will change that.

When speaking about Hardaker and Marshall, Peet said both won’t play at the weekend but tagged on regarding Marshall that he should be ok for Salford. It seemed to suggest neither would be involved on Monday.

While I agree with his stance overall I think extending it to Easter Monday, given the injuries we have and it being a 2 day turnaround is not smart. Point made for me. No need to shoot ourselves in the foot.
