Greedy Hardaker only had to pass to his winger for a Panthers try but went the greedy route instead and blew it.

Good start.

In the words of Fred Boycott

OW Much!!

Indeed, and it was a shocker from him this morning. Five metres out, just had to pass to his open winger for a simple try but chose instead to go for personal glory by taking two Tigers defenders on. Might be a high percentage option for glory-boy in SL but it's a low percentage option in the NRL.

Short career in reserve grade beckons if he doesn't shape up quickly.

He probably knew he couldn't execute the 5 metre pass

Perfect assessment of that moment.

A couple more moments like that and he will be in reserve grade looking at a return to the UK.

Thing is, when watching it live, you just knew Hardaker wasn't going to pass to the winger as soon as he received the ball. Such a shame as the build up in centre field and that Moylan one-handed pass behind his back was rather special.

His fanboys on this forum need not comment.

I want him to do well, I'm genuinly rooting for him. But the task infront of him is mammoth.

Tomkins kept getting picked as the Warriors simply couldn't drop a bloke on his wages. Zak won't have that luxury.

As good as the NRL and it's coaching is they weren't going to sort out his passing issues in just two days of training. Key will be seeing him in the same situation in several weeks and what he does.

Re: Segeyaro this week! : Sat Jul 02, 2016 3:20 pm  

So apparently Zak lost Penrith the game by missing a chance when playing out of posotion and were already 20 points behind.

Nothing to do with Moylan looking like he had never played FB in his life. Trully awful game from Moylan but apparently Zak is no where near in his class. People really have the blinkers on when they watch the aussies.

Re: Segeyaro this week! : Sat Jul 02, 2016 3:53 pm  

Moylan was bad, I think the coach lost panthers the game by taking so long to change things after Tedesco skinned Cartwright on the outside the first time. To then let him do it a couple more times before reshuffling was terrible.

Aside from bombing a try, I thought Zak was OK, but as others have said if they persist with him as a centre I can't see him lasting long in first grade. Particularly as he shows know aptitude to pass, and never really has.

Hardaker will need to be careful with his SL standard dumbed down play the balls. Around half were OK, half were the joke that passes for OK over here. Only a matter of time before he gets penalised although he should adapt quickly once told as I'm sure he will be. The bombed try apart I thought he went pretty well considering the step up and NRL debut nerves.

I agree with that but he will be judged on those big moments and the judgment will be swift.
