Hardaker benched for 80 mins today : Sun Jul 17, 2016 8:02 am  

Slated for his performance last week, and benched for the full 80 today. Surprising as Penrith were battered in the first half and it would have been easy to shift Moylan to 6, and bring ZH on at half time. He was originally named at RC so either he's injured or not fancied. Penrith won by the way, without Zak getting on. Can't see his NRL dream lasting long.

Back at Leeds or sold! But who to? Saints maybe?

Just to add Fox Sports panel have just said they recon Zak is pretty much done in the NRL. It's cut throat over here. Zak's management have totally mis-advised him and f*cked him big time.

You only come down here when you are at your best and have a full preason.

Show me the money have totally shafted their client.

The way the commentators were talking about the kids coming through at Penrith makes you think he had little chance from the start. Seems to be making up numbers until the end of the season

A bit like when we signed Nathan McAvoy or Eric Anselme?

What options did his agents have??? Were other NRL queueing up for Zak??? No. Were SL clubs willing to pay a huge fee??? No. Did Leeds want him around??? Not really.

He will get a deal in SL. Half of the clubs in SL will be in for him no doubt, Leeds won't get 100k for him though. He is still arguably the best FB in SL imo, if and when he sorts his issues out.

He wanted away because he was let down (that's how I will put it) by his Ex big time. His management first and foremost should look after his welfair and future. Show Me The Money must be f*cking deluded if they think Zak on current form and weight (not big enough for NRL) and mental state without an NRL preseason and a clear mind was gonna have a fighting chance.

I will tell you plain and simple what option his agent had.

His agent had the option to look after his client. Not f*ck him over.

He had no options at all. Zak let down by his ex...lol....you must be joking pal. The only letdown is Zak himself.

He mustve been really letdown by her to be ringing her before heading to Aus begging to get back together when he returns on Oct 5th!!!
