He might be a good player, he might go on to have a successful career at club & international level, but he'll NEVER have any class as a person & NEVER come close to the level of respect Sinfield gained in the game. Zak 2nd in SPOTY?
Elvis would be seen riding Shergar down the Headrow before that happened
Zak is & always will be a RL pkaying Chav.

We can sit back and look forward to his next implosion, and they'll be no aftermath to deal with.

Nah. Sure he will score tries against us and kiss the badge, and the commentators will say "he's come back to haunt us", cas fans will smugly say "leeds loss is our gain". But in reality no one affiliated with leeds is feeling taunted.

We got some great use from the asset - a title, cc and a treble. But like any asset when the negatives outweigh the benefits it needs to be disposed of, with golding and walker coming through its worked out well.

I agree that I don't think we should boo Hardaker but I don't think he particularly deserves any sympathy either. Whilst I understand he had personal issues, in the end he sodded off when his team were struggling.

So nah let's not boo him but I won't be thanking the fella either.

I wish we had someone capable of scoring tries like the ones Zak scored in the last couple of games...

I wish him well, but he did force the hand of GH regarding discipline. Just hope we develop/find someone as good or better in the meantime

It's annoying that Cas have ultimately profited from ex-Leeds players in so many key positions (and coach), but pretty much all of them seemed to be good decisions at the time. The only one that I don't quite understand was McShane, although he did have to subsist as a SL journeyman for a time before 'making it' with Cas.

Any read Zak's thinly veiled dig at McDermott/Hetherington in the RL papers this week..? ''I'm a much more skilful player now at Castleford'' ''I'm a better player than I was when I won the man of steel in 2015''. '' I burned some bridges at Leeds for what ever reason, they wanted a change and so did I ''.............. hmmmmmmm doesn't sound bitter much !!

Burnt some bridges? What a first rate a-hole this pathetic excuse of a human being is. This is the organisation that saved his sorry little 'arris from nearly going to prison after an unprovoked assault on a student. He's a Thug end of.

Everything that he is saying of late infuriates me.. it will come back to bite him I've no doubt.

He's a young, uneducated, inarticulate tool. I saw another one this week; Barrie McDermott gave an inspiring talk to a room full of people, many with no interest in RL.

A lot of Leeds fans wished him all the best, but he has changed that now with childish comments.

TBF a LOT of Leeds fans started gnashing their tooth and carrying on with vile outbursts on his twitter feed too so for me its fair game if he wants to hand some back out.

I would think that a person who had matured in the way Hardaker needs to mature would see the futility of 'handing some back'.

Let the guy play some rugby. It didn't work out here and he has moved to another club. The words are just that, words. He still has a lot of talent on the pitch and seems to be enjoying his time at Cas. No bitterness from me at all, too much happened at Leeds for him to stay.

Yeah, me too. He seems happy at Cas now and is playing well. I hope it stays that way and he has learnt from his past mistakes. Time will tell, but he has gone now and the chapter is closed between leeds and Zak time to move on.

These posts perfectly sum up my feelings towards Zak and it's now time to move on.
If he gets into any bother in future then it's not our problem any more and Cas will have to see how far their patience will stretch or just how many incidents they will tolerate before issuing warnings etc

Although deep down everyone will say that they're not surprised if/when he does stuff up again, as it's only a matter of time IMO,although I hope i'm wrong
