Leigh is near Wigoon, but Zak will have a very much respected coach with Lam.

Big difference this time is he can do the travel every day rather than having to stay in Wigan due to their rules and also he has a travel partner in Tom Briscoe rather than travelling alone.

If Macdonald is coming i then i'm not too fussed about losing Hardhaker.Myler is our fullback Hooley will be cover,Newman and hopefully Macdonald starting centres Edwards Simpson and Mcdonnell cover.
On a lighter note will we see Marty back posting on here if Hardhaker leaves Leeds?

Hardaker would improve us next year no doubt, especially with injuries. But he really needs to start at fullback as he's a solid but not great centre. Myler may just be more the sort of fullback Smith wants, acting as an extra man and creating space for others. From what little I've seen that part of the game looks more natural to Hooley than Walker, but he needs to improve his defence a fair bit.

Think maybe we're being a bit hard on McDonald. He's big and fast and at 28, still in his athletic prime. You don't play 100 games in the NRL if you are mug. Really good try scoring record as well. I think he'll give us more strike than either Sutty or Zak as a centre. Sad the Zak looks to be gone but realistically he is 30 plus - nobody gets better from that point on. McDonald would be very much a Rohan signing. You'd have to back his judgement given all the available evidence.

I Like the look of McDonald, as you say he would definitely give us more strike out wide. Gutted to see Zak go, he's been fantastic since his return but that's the salary cap for you.

No mate he is waiting for Leeds United to get relegated.

According to GH, we wanted to keep Hardaker and could afford him once Walker left, but he'd already agreed to sign elsewhere .
