Think we've had all we're going to get from him. If we can get some decent money for him, an experienced (I.e. possibly ageing so not too expensive but good for a couple of years) FB to give us some leadership and use the money for a decent half.

Positive move I think overall - if we asked nicely do you think he'd take Watkins with him?

Re: HARDAKER TRANSFER LISTED : Sat Jun 04, 2016 10:17 am  

On this season's performances he won't be missed.....explains why he was dumped to to the wing in favour of Golding at FB for those couple of matches.

Hardly news to shock the RL world.

Watkins to FB for me (if he stays of course) and Moon to SO....so two new centres for me please Keinhorst is a better second rower (guess Handley and Sutcliffe could be tried as "new" centres)...

So the best SL back 3 for returning the ball and getting the forwards on the front foot is now history.
Wonder what we can look forward to seeing in the championship

He'll be a very lucky boy to get an NRL gig.

Disappointed but not surprised. Looks like we need a whole new spine for next year. Not sure Golding's ready for the number 1 shirt yet personally, and putting Sutcliffe there full time would be a big gamble. Who's available?

Sutcliffe at fullback would be a positive move for me, it did wonders for micheal morgan and we could play him in a similar role to 6 but with more time on the ball and less pressure for a year or 2
This would leave more money for a new 6/7 and hooker
Watkins at fullback is an option although I wonder if he prefers playing centre?

I for one will not shed any tears as I consider him a very overrated player. I hope we can arrange some sort of exchange deal for a real class player in return but the price we have put on him is very optimistic.

Before the idiots start posting usual gash, there is a reason for why Leeds have agreed, why Zak has asked to leave, and why it is NRL. So before trolls start posting rubbish, think before you post.

If what I heard yesterday has any substance then I understand completely why he feels the need to leave. I really hope it works out for him and he can move on.

300k is fanciful, he's been extremely poor this year and has a record of on and off-field disciplinary issues.
Added to the fact it's not a good time of year as most clubs will be at or close yo the salary cap, Leeds will be lucky to offload him at all.
