Ok I wasn't aware he was moving to Wigan so thats good. I guess thinking about it he would have had no choice with his driving ban.

What's the chances of it going tits up before the new season starts, It will be hard for him at best of times let alone Crimbo and New Years, I know what I'm on about, I haven't had a drink in 12 years and not done any drugs since 1996 but still get the odd craving now and then, Specially Crimbo and New Years, Hope it works out for him and the club

Fair play to Wigan. They are willing to pay an extortionate amount of money for Zak to undertake professional and residential rehabilitation, which is his best chance of recovery from his addiction to alcohol. I know the RFL do fund some rehabilitation too at Sporting Chance, so hopefully they are contributing.
The easy option for Wigan would have been to keep him on and hope he sorted himself out. Or just to get rid.
As always in these cases, it’s only when he is back in society that the success of his rehabilitation can be evaluated. I sincerely hope it works out for Zak.
The only disappointment is the completely unnecessary insult aimed towards Leeds and Cas. Until his ban, he’d been the model professional at Cas (admittedly only for 9 months) and he’d had plenty of professional support and rehabilitation at Leeds too.

Proper gutted He's not going back to Cas, Oh well never mind, You can still watch him from the bushes

I know you’re joking, but I’ve said from day one (as in when his suspension was announced) that I don’t want him back.
Sounds like the best place for him is Wigan. Willing to pay for expensive rehabilitation and hopefully he’ll be away from the bad influences in his life.
Player welfare (and indeed humanity) comes above club rivalry. I hope it works out for him.

Boo.
Should never have been signed in the first place.
Disaster waiting to happen (again).

I'm happy with this mainly because I want to see some exciting players on the pitch. If the club are happy to deal with him, I'm happy to pay to watch good players.

With the long lay off, booze ands drugs not exactly the best diet for a sportsman, lets hope he's not lost it due to the abuse of his body.

I never wanted to sign him in the first place and only see it going one way however, I respect IL and if he deems it a worthwhile last throw of the dice then hopefully the guy and the club can both win. The cynic in me however, thinks that he just has no self awareness and he hasn't go the fraction of the will power that you have and his next incident is not too far away.

Sadly I agree 100% - I do not care one iota how good a player he was/could be, signing and keeping are decisions I fear the club will regret in time.

Chuffed Wigan are standing by and trying to help him. If he can't get it right at Wigan he won't anywhere

I don't know that I'm 'chuffed'. Yes, you can argue that the Club has done the *right* thing, but I think I'd have been happier if they'd announced they were throwing him out on his ear!

Yeah maybe wrong choice of words. Shows the club for what it is though and that sort of interest in a not only a player but a man could be priceless to future targets or signings about the morals the club has. Also get to see him in a good side and hopefully clean rather than ending up at Toronto or somewhere like that where he will be allowed to run riot. Looking forward to hopefully seeing him in action next year, I know it will be a season of transition but I don't see a reason why you won't be challenging should you get a new half and at least a new prop and back rower

The club has made its decision and we must stand by it. Personally I do think he needs help with his alcohol intake, that may well mean he goes T-total. Either way this must be his last chance, he either sorts himself out or he will find himself out of a job and in jail. It’s almost inevitable if he continues on the path he is or was on.

I think it’s time we got behind the club and Zak and support him. After all on an off day he is still outstanding and I think he’ll become pivotal to us next season and beyond.
