Beer on a work night? Yes, but then again my job doesn’t rely on being at the peak of physical fitness the following morning.
Beer and red wine into the early hours on a work night, with a side-order of abusing someone else on Twitter using foul language? Nope. And if it happened, my employer would sack me and I hope my family and friends would front up and suggest I have a problem.

must admit, as a neutral party in this, i've noticed him on the a a lot lately, including a party last week, which surprised me considering it was the restart/mini pre season.

Also, (and this is something i've picked up with harvey livett at our place and players in general) Zak had a massive leg tattoo done last week, not sure how you can train to your best having had something like that done and you're supposed to let it heal.

Loads of players have tattoos, I don't really think that is an issue is it.

So you want Wigan to sack him?

You’re putting words into my mouth there. I said I would be sacked from my job if I had done the same thing. My job is not as a professional RL player.
In terms of Zak, I want Wigan to recognise the massive warning signs and help him.
I guess he’s on a pretty tight contract in terms of conduct given the circumstances he was signed in, and then with the drink driving and all I don’t think Wigan will give him many more chances. It won’t help Zak to be sacked, but there is only so much the club can do if he doesn’t accept help.

Well they're the only club that has done so so far based on what IFL said when we signed him so I think we'll be just fine.

Thanks for your concern though.

As I said before, a number of things were done to help him at Leeds.
In his short time at Cas he was supported and all seemed okay until he was hit with a massive personal issue.
Ultimately, you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped.
If he screws up again, I certainly won’t be on here blaming the Wigan. Like his previous clubs, they can only help if Zak allows them to.

PS - I’m not sure you should believe every word IL says as the gospel truth.

Maybe its not, maybe they get better advice than what i have, but having a whole thigh piece done, which you're not supposed to keep clean and not knock or damage and then doing contact or fitness training? seems in contravention of tattoo healing advice.

Having tattoos isn't my point.

There must be something as they all seem to get them during the season. Unless they wear skins during training when they have had them done until they heal perhaps.



Apologies. He has been criticised for pretty much all sorts today so I thought that was something else being thrown at him.

But it is your fault that yours is drawn to him more than anyone else.

To be honest, mate. I reckon you're a total crank.

I've never seen anyone online who's as obsessed with one player as you are. You're either bitter beyond belief that his untimely departure from your club exposed you as a one-man team. Or you have some other more personal interest in the matter.

Either way, put at sock in it with the continued pretence that you're concerned about him while at the same time spreading any negative gossip you can find.

Ever heard the phrase, 'Don't p**s down my back and tell me it's raining.' That saying could have been written for you.

Quit being such a bloody creep and get on with watching Cas.

You realise I didn’t start the thread, right?
And that there have been thousands of posts across social media about him since last night, but my handful of posts on here make me an obsessive? I haven’t said anything that wasn’t widely in the public domain already.
I’ve always said player welfare comes above club rivalries. I hope Zak ges the help he needs and that he is in a position to accept it.

Leave the guy alone. If he doesnt like Foster and wants to go at him in his own personal time then thats his choice and nothing at all to do with you or anybody else.

Give the lad a break. he hasn't done anything wrong. It was a bit of banter

You've been around here long enough to know that you can't go banding insinuations around about someone. Notstiger said he had numerous bottles of wine and numerous pints of beer. There was a picture of 1 pint, one bottle and one glass. that's all I was saying.

With regards to the facts, which is only his twitter posts, he's made a bit of a dick of himself.

Well said
