Ian Lenagan warned that Hardaker cannot afford any more controversies.

Lenagan said: “This wasn’t a decision that we made lightly. We recognise the serious nature of this incident and our choice in offering this opportunity should not be seen as condoning his actions in any way.

“We had extensive conversations with Zak and his family before making our offer.

“We encountered a man who, after eight months of reflection, openly admits that he has made a series of significantly poor decisions over the past few years.

“Crucially, we also saw someone who recognises that this is the final opportunity to focus on delivering the achievements his talent should generate.

“I have had the experiences in business and sport of offering contrite individuals the final opportunity and environment to learn from their mistakes with some notable successes and occasional failures.


Eight months and Zak admits openly to some of his decisions being poor, violence, homophobia, kicked out England camp, drugs and after the interview drink driving poor an tad understated just wrong I'd say


Whatever they saw should have gone to Specsavers

Who's wife was he turking

The chap said wives

Ferres?

I thought he was one of those doing the dirty on a team mate which lead to his transfer

It was Ferres who was doing the dirty on his best mates wife.
Heard Hardaker was playing with one of our wingers wife.
The guys a liability and such a shame as he has the talent to be one of the best in SL.
For those who reckon him moving to Lancashire will get him away from his mates.
You do know it's a little over an hour by car even in a fiesta with no MoT.

Hardaker was dipping in the Ryan hall pool. Hence why hall refused to play in same team hence why one had to go hence why the bad apple ended up at Cas

He’s just a bad un that will never change
Lock up your daughters in Wigan

And shame on leeds for taking on liability known as Ferres

Trophy is not won or lost on how clean your driving license is. What business is it of a rugby club if he has motoring offence?

You're wrong he's a serial offender the drink driving conviction his latest one and probably the quickest breaking of a commitment to sort himself out.

It will be very brave of the club to keep him based on the Chairman's comment about the contrite young man who understands he's on a last chance, what does the drink driving conviction say about the idiot along with his denial of everything until arrested and questioned at the Police Station no doubt his or the duty solicitor would have explained about fingerprints, dna, possible cctv footage, possible witnesses and a denial wouldn't really wash other than in the World of Zak

He's a liability and the next incident is waiting to happen

If it was just the motor offence most would agree but it's the litany of varied offenses over a multi year period that cause the issue.

Leeds got rid, Cas got rid, couldn't cut it in Oz. Wigan has to be last chance at a decent level and he messed up before he even plays a game.

That's why it's RL's business. He is a bad Apple and for a game that gets precious little column inches we don't want what we do get to be devoted to this idiot.
