| Quote: sgtwilko "Why didn't you post this before the season started? Zak after one good TV looks better than he did in 2015. Some may have thought it but not many called it. Certainly not you. And you make the statement before a ball has been kicked in the NRL.
Hardaker was simply average at best at Penrith.
In the spirt of debate name and shame the fullbacks who he's better than.'"
I actually think I did post something similar when it was decided he was going to Cas, I certainly said I would be shocked if Newcastle didn't come in for him.
The three I think he is way better than are Phythian, Gordon, and Beale, and imo he is also better than Hoopate and French (at fullback at least), and Tonumaipe (who I admit I don't know much about)
Hardaker was average at Pentrith, but he went in the middle of his worst ever season and was mainly played at centre, a position I thought he wasn't very good at for us tbh

Thats not what that means btw, and I hope Wests win as well because I don't like Robbie Farrah (though you probably do) and it would be funny.

| Quote: leedsnsouths "Looking at the NRL teams for round 1 it occurs to me that Zak is better than 6 of the starting fullbacks and WAY better than 3 of them. Did no team really offer him a contract? or did he genuinely not wanna go?'"
From the NRL's view I'd imagine the fee was off putting (although as seen they could've had him cheaper). After Tomkins failed at NZ probably a bit wary of splashing cash on English backs (forwards to backs ratio who go to the NRL from SL is heavily in the fronts favour). Also they have enough issues over there with misbehaving players let alone bringing one over from England.

Munster will be playing FB for Melbourne and Hardaker is not better than him. However his NRL failure was down to him going to Aus in the worst mental and physical shape of his life, and being used as a bit-part centre rather than a fullback. There's no doubt that a fully switched on Zak would be an asset to a lot of clubs in the NRL.

| Hopoate is a really good full back. His problem is his unwillingness to play sundays.
Hardaker of 2015 and possibly this year would go well enough in the NRL. Hardaker last year sucked, and didn't deserve an NRL contract - he was probably the poorest full back I saw in the NRL last year.

Did he ever play full back for panthers? Thought he just played centre.

| I personally hope that Hardaker does not revert to his previous patterns of misbehaviour. On last night's showing he's getting back to his best & will be a welcome addition to the national squad.

| I for one am sorry to see him go but I suppose it was inevitable. I hope we use the suggested fee to strengthen the squad. GH needs to look at why we had to let him go & why Powell appears to be getting the best out of him.

| You only get so many lives I'm afraid and he used his up and a fresh start is what he needed regardless of the coaches ability. Still early days to see if he can keep himself out of trouble, even Cas couldn't help Chase.

And none for Castleford Tigers. Bye!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1140.jpg |

| Well, we got good years out of him. Three titles, a WCC, two challenge cups and a league leaders shield isn't a bad return.
Shame the way it ended, but we move on.
