Why not?

A few posts ago you were saying he was Wigan's best player and that the club had done wrong by him and there weren't any issues?

Mate I’ve followed RL a long time. I know ZH Is a million miles away from the player that left us. Was just winding the Wigan board up a bit…..! Love a bit of banter….

It's not been banter though has it. It looks as though 100% of us are happy to see him go. There is no furore in Wigan. Nobody gives a toss, Zak is a legend in his own mind but for those of us blessed with the gift of sight, we all know he is a declining player and his next brush with the law or club is just around the corner. Your goading (banter) hasn't really paid off has it. You haven't had one bite defending or wanting Zak to stay. We should be the ones taking the pi$$ out of Leeds really but we don't need to. All we have to do is sit and wait and Zak can make a balls of it all by himself.

‘The way I left Wigan wasn’t the way I wanted to leave the club but I would like to thank everyone there for the opportunity to play for Wigan,” Hardaker said.

Really….!!!!???

Really What???

Surely the inference is obvious: if those are Hardaker's words (I assume they are?), then surely the comment is that things have actually turned out just how Hardaker wanted (or, you might say, engineered).

All getting abit boring now this.

This is just PR, clearly what has gone on is not going to be common public knowlege so both Wigan and Zak are saying nice things and parting ways for minimal drama.

Nothing else to be said really, case over. He is your future issue now.

That's about the top and bottom of it, yes.

He's already missed one training session due to 'illness' it seems. Out celebrating new job?

You are a complete cynic and idiot….. ( I was thinking exactly the same thing!)

I reckon if and when the truth comes out about Hardaker there will be some surprised reactions on our board (Leeds)
However many will not be surprised whatsoever as his ego and stupidity will always take priority over anything else.

I think when we look back in a couple of years we will be able to say we got off pretty lightly with him. Minor blip at the start and a premature departure, but some decent performances in between. Could have been a lot worse.

That's how I look at it. 3 and a half years of solid rugby from him - we did OK really.

Spot on Matty.

Let Leeds worry about the aging man child

‘The truth’. What are you referring to Chapy? Do divulge……

Got off lightly? You did amazing. Signed star player for free and had at least a player Of season year from him. And now you’ve got everyone feeling sorry for ‘poor supportive Wigan’!
Bit like when you had Gareth Hock……

he wasnt a star anymore, he was put of the game for 2 years and played like 1 too. He wasnt as good ass he thought he was either

your making yourself look a bit foolish now kid

I think he will be seen as:

The guy who could and should have kicked us to victory in the Grand Final.

Or

The guy who should have known his kicking distance limitations and informed his captain that he should take the kick to touch instead.

Depending on which Wigan fan you talk to.

Zak is not that good a place kicker. Fine to stand in when regular kicker out, but not reliable enough as a first give place kicker , and never had this role for us or Cas. His restart kicks are awesome and a weapon though…..’

A suspected seizure...

Apparently so, wishing him a full recovery.

Probably been out on the booze all night. It can happen the day after. Balls to his recovery. Little ungrateful mercenary.

It’s only rugby mate and I certainly don’t think we should feel that let down that we’re not concerned about the person.

Fingers crossed the lads ok and he’s back on the field ASAP. We can give him some friendly s*it then.

Don't think he was too concerned when he was punching a young lad in the face. He gets no sympathy from me.
