He needs a fresh start, without any of the old baggage that he, unfortunately, comes with. My heart says I'd love to have him back, but my head says that there's too much 'behind the scenes' history and inner demons.
Personally I think he'll go to a rival SL club. I just hope it isn't in Lancashire! He will have something to prove when he returns, and I reckon he'll be back to his 2015 self with a fresh start. For all his sins, he was brilliant for us, and I hope he returns with a bang.

So do I but there seems to be relatively few players prone to personal crises for whom that happens. Much more usual that they never recapture the form of that short period when they burned bright. There are exceptions, of course, but I'd never bet on it.

Rumors on our board that we are in advanced discussions with Hardaker, but so are Salford and Leigh.
Powell managed to get him to go to Fev before Leeds so maybe he wants to work with him again. I would hope he would choose us over both Salford or Leigh, in hope more than anything because as it stands we are doomed with Greg Eden at fb.

I would hope for the sake of Hardaker and his career he'd choose Cas over Salford or Leigh too.

Straight swap for Gale

They'll use the money from selling Solomona to Sale.

I think Cas would be perfect for Zak, as long as he keeps his nose clean. But they would write that into his contract, anyway.

Cas will raise you Zak and Burrow to Cas for Gale to Leeds.
Kyle wood in as reserve 9.

I'd happily take such a deal IF it were on the table

Also rumoured that Leigh are looking at Hampshire and Evalds, either of whom could play fullback - if they aren't happy with McNally and Lee Smith.

Deal!
