I can't stand the guy and I do blame him for wrecking our chances to become champions last year.

However, HE DID NOT HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH ANY RHINOS PLAYERS WIFE. Absolute garbage , just a made up rumour to add fuel to the fire. Hall and Zak were regularly tweeting each other whilst Zak was at Cas last year. Plus they played with each other for England v Samoa, when Wayne Bennett played the competitions best full back at centre.

I know he has ADHD and on various meds for that. I do wonder if he's ever been tested for autism, because he seems to lack any awareness / responsibility into practice.

Anybody with ADHD is on the autistic spectrum. Therefore, they are diagnosed as autistic.

Not Quite.

There are A and B symptoms of the Autistic spectrum.

ADHD is more of the B ( Behavioral) and not the A (Autistic) characteristics.

Thus people with ADHD are thought to have behavioral issues and are not classed as being Autistic

When he watches occasions like last night’s grand final, surely he must be dying to be involved. Winning big games in big stadia is the pinnacle of a rugby players life and he has the talent to be involved in them a lot. It’s hard to comprehend how a ‘professional’ player could risk missing out on it through being stupid!

He was away on front of a mate in hospitality on Saturday. Bladdered.

But every player (from across the league) was too.

I was trying to make a point, albeit badly, that anyone with ADHD shouldn't need a separate test for autism, in answer to the previous poster to me.

You would think it wouldn't take experiencing it twice in two years to make you realise.

Hope we bin him off.

I think Escare will prove a lot of people wrong if he gets the full time gig.

Been superb IMO all year when called upon and the GF performance was the icing on the cake.

Re: ZAK : Mon Oct 15, 2018 2:51 pm  

Escare was excellent on Saturday. In the biggest game he stood up and was superb.
We have Mullen as reserve who looks very good.
In addition we already have a Grand Final winning full back in Sarge.
The club do have options re full back.

Re: ZAK : Tue Oct 16, 2018 2:00 pm  

Irrespective of his talents on the field of play Wigan are/will be a better team without him.

https://wiganwarriors.com/news/2018-10- ... k-hardaker All sounds very commendable from the club and more than Zak deserves. But thats the decision made and all the best to him in his battle against his demons. My concern is there is no mention of Zak taking steps to remove himself from the environment that is contributing to his problems, both in terms of geography and peer group.

He doesn’t deserve it but fair play to Wigan for trying to help him. I’m sure Leeds tried more than once but he was beyond help.
