Wouldn't necessarily believe the click bait.

Fwiw, my guess is that hardaker will be re-signed with the club dressing it up as a big deal - in the absence of any genuinely big signings...

It might be clickbait, but writers like Shaw are usually right with their stories.

I just can't see where he would go though, won't be Hull, other teams too far away to travel apart from Wakey and Cas.

Rumours of Jack Walker to Bulls, this might free up cap space for Zak

agree. I'll be fuming if we can't sign him up again

YEP reporting a decision is due soon re: Zak. Reading between the lines of that article it could well be positive news - although no evidence to back this up.

The tone of that YEP article is very different to Matt Shaw's.

Yep thats what i thought and YEP is more up to date story.

YEP is at least written by a journalist not a clickbait scumbag!

The Hardaker story was written by Aaron Bower rather than Matt Shaw, both have decent credibility but neither have the same inside contacts at Leeds that Peter Smith does. They may have better contacts with Hardaker's agent though!

These reporters are sometimes tools of the players and agents and clubs. There's every chance this "Zak is definitely leaving" story is the agent sending a message to Leeds to hurry up the things they know are being done to sort the issue given time is passing quickly.

Walker to The Bulls I’ve heard to make room for Hardaker

He’s left the club today. Gave Leeds until Friday to sort a deal out and GH couldn’t. So we’ve currently no centres at the club that are fit. Nice one

Lets see how this pans out over next few hours/days. Like him to stay but not worth 2 years and expect he got high wage demands. If he’s gone he’s gone.

Exactly, there’s not much we can do if his wage demands exceed what we have left to pay.

He’s gone bud, GH offered him a poor deal and that’s that.

Nene Macdonald definitely coming in though, but he’s no great shakes is he?

Think maybe we're being a bit hard on McDonald. He's big and fast and at 28, still in his athletic prime. You don't play 100 games in the NRL if you are mug. Really good try scoring record as well. I think he'll give us more strike than either Sutty or Zak as a centre. Sad the Zak looks to be gone but realistically he is 30 plus - nobody gets better from that point on. McDonald would be very much a Rohan signing. You'd have to back his judgement given all the available evidence.
