He'll be a very lucky boy to get an NRL gig.

Sutcliffe at fullback would be a positive move for me, it did wonders for micheal morgan and we could play him in a similar role to 6 but with more time on the ball and less pressure for a year or 2
This would leave more money for a new 6/7 and hooker
Watkins at fullback is an option although I wonder if he prefers playing centre?

I for one will not shed any tears as I consider him a very overrated player. I hope we can arrange some sort of exchange deal for a real class player in return but the price we have put on him is very optimistic.

If what I heard yesterday has any substance then I understand completely why he feels the need to leave. I really hope it works out for him and he can move on.

What Gotcha said x2.

" www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl ... d20ea15391'" he is a crock these days, i would steer well clear. We need to be going all out for Farah if there is an incling of a chance.

300k is fanciful, he's been extremely poor this year and has a record of on and off-field disciplinary issues.
Added to the fact it's not a good time of year as most clubs will be at or close yo the salary cap, Leeds will be lucky to offload him at all.

I know for a fact he was days from being sacked last season. The only reason he wasn't was that GH didn't want a rival taking him on a free.

As it happens, he turned it round and ended the season really well.

Not spoken to my source today so total speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if the personal issues have reared their head again.

Someone will go for him as they've seen what he CAN do (though not what he's doing at the moment). £300k is a lot though (wasn't that what Tomkins went for?)

Hahaha do you realise how much these NRL clubs make?
There will be more than a few who would be willing to pay that for an England fullback regardless of form
A few clubs could afford to pay that for him to be their second string fullback with the possibility of him coming good

But obviously not in the way you think. Make it clear to you, Zak is the one who asked to leave, and there is a perfectly understandable personal reason. He had an offer to go straight away, but Leeds could not agree a swap deal with the player they wanted.
