This. Total speculation from Cas fans who think because we have signed someone who can play fullback, that the prodigal son will return, especially since a lot of them want rid of Matautia.

I for one doubt he has messed up again.

He was homesick. But he's enjoying his rugby there.

Regarding him been sacked and wanting him back.

Steve Gill sacked him. Much to Powells dismay which is why he left the club.

Powell never wanted him to leave and would have him back.

Mata'utia isn't the answer at Full Back. Which is why Jordan Rankin has been deployed there lately. And occupies a quota spot.

I'd suspect. This is nothing but idle rumours. However I'd be surprised if Zak would want to stay and play centre for years.

I think it's garbage. Why would Cas play hardball over someone as irrelevant as Mitch Clark if we were trying to get ZH back from Wigan?

Would be a poor move by the club to let him return to Cas. Especially given how they’ve handled the situation with Mitch C.

I’d send out a message to Powell and co, they’re not the force they think they are. Would love nothing more than to see that idiot not get what he wants.

Imagine if Burgess had a year with Skerrett......sorry I couldn't resist

The Hardker rumour is a very credible one.

A good few people on this side of the hill who whilst not directly involved with Cas but do have links with them have been saying it for some time.

Long before we signed French.

I’m not saying it’s going to happen but I wouldn’t disguard it totally out of hand, there are defiantly some credible(ish) people expecting it to happen.

Phil Wiko.. And I quote.
Hardaker to Cas is "absolute "

That'll do for me.

This won't happen even though I would love him back. Not sure why you would move him to centre though when he is clearly the best FB around.

He also kept posting that Bevan French “wasn’t on the radar”

That is true mate.
But then we had Moley and WWS all reportimg that we'd signed French. Do you see any creditable report saying Zak is gone?
I sure as hell don't...

Does The Mole generally stick to NRL signings (to other NRL or SL clubs)? Rather than SL to SL?

Do we have a credible source in this country? I get the feeling most just read these forums and hazard a guess.

Notinghamtiger

He spends a lot of time hiding behind the bushes in ZH's front garden

Zak will categorically be at Wigan next year. I stand well and truly corrected (personally) and he has no interest at all in rejoining Castleford now or in the future. French has signed to play 6 next year and will take George's shirt.

This from Zak himself, Richie?

He wanted the rumour crushed and since I was a catalyst in that suggesting he was homesick it is only right I put it to bed. He will 100% categorically be our #1 shirt next year.

Good to hear, mate. Has he commented on how he's finding life in Wigan then? I take it from your response that he isn't homesick or anything?

Brilliant news.

I’ve not suggested he’s moving back to Cas.

Good. Would've been a shame to lose another key attacking player.

Lots of our strike in our back-line next season.

As expected. I'll let you off the bet whilst you came back to face the music

Nooooo, it is ok, I will pay the £200 to Joining Jack pal

Fair play it you do mate. No pressure though

I've heard Lam has already sounded him out about the possibility of playing centre next season and he's fine with the idea?

Wasn't mentioned, doesn't mean it isn't correct though.
