He has been pretty e so far this season. You would think if he was desperate to move to the NRL, and Leeds have slapped a big price on him, that now would be the time for him to show some of last season's form. I say play him.

So if the transfer doesnt happen what would you do??? Continue to honour his contract and leave him at Fev for 4 years?? Makes no sense. Would you release him ? Pay him his entitlement and not be able to replace due to salary cap implications.

There arent many NRL teams that he could go to so there is no guarantee it will go through tho I am sure Leeds will do everything to make it happen as quick as possible but if no team wants him what can we do.

Zak while being an idiot at times has never not given his best for Leeds and therfore while that continues he should be our full back while at the club. If his head isnt in the right place then fair enough.

Leeds keep talking about how 'together' they are still, despite the current awful performances and string of poor results. That is the biggest hope Leeds have of turning that round. For me with Zak's decision he isn't going to help things in that regard, so should be quickly dealt with by both sides, which i think will happen, but also make sure we get the best possible price.

Zak's hardly been an angel and leeds have had to put up with a fair bit from him, so I think his decision spits in the face of that a little. His timing is awful too in the midst of our current position. why now? why not at the end of the season? is it beneath him to play away at Batley now?

People are entitled to their opinion, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to select him.

You make some good points but you keep mentioning Zak's decision. This decision was as much Leeds' decision as Zak's.

By making the transfer public without a deal in place already Leeds could find themselves in a bit of an awkward situation if nothing goes thru.

Canberra said they wasnt interested yesterday, whether true or not, Penrith have been mentioned but they are releasing people to fit under cap so that doesnt add up. Titans? Knights? Who knows. Where else is there to go?

Now its out in the open and as Leeds have said "its in interests of both parties" they are now faced with a dilema if nothing happens.

There is no doubt he is best full back at the club and has never stopped trying no matter how bad his form has or hasnt been.

Leeds should have said nothing and got the deal done if possible without making it public knowledge because if nothing happens with NRL or anybody the whole world knows we dont want him and he doesnt want to be with us.

Until something happens if the coaches decide he will be ok mentally he should be our full back in my opinion.

It's Zak's decision:

Zak:

“I explained my desire to leave and test myself in the NRL to Gary several weeks ago and I am pleased the club is prepared to release me."

If he doesn't want to be here, I'm glad Leeds are selling him.

Partly Zak's decision but just as much Leeds' decision. Dont believe all youn read

So I'm not to believe Zak's statement?

If he doesn't want to be here (which is what he is saying), get shot. if you keep someone who doesn't want to be here you end up with Greg Eastwood on your hands. Don't make that mistake twice.

I agree we need to get rid that is why GH said its in best interests of both parties but the fact remains there arent many NRL we could get rid to. If he doesnt go and Leeds dont get their wish weve a full back with 4 years left on his deal so saying send him to a lower league team isnt feasible.

Not for the long term.

But i'd put him out somewhere, keep him busy, keep his drama away from the rest of team, until something is sorted.

Which is the reason Leeds shouldnt have made it public in my opinion and just got the deal done before announcing it. If he goes nowhere, which i believe is unlikely but possible it will linger on and could cause issues.

We both agree he needs to go just for different reasons.

You seen state of Zak on Twitter? Leeds probably thought 'announce what we know, before numpty starts typing again' !!
