This “rumour” for me is an absolute load of cobblers starter maliciously by a Cas fan with a clear agenda and grudge.

Zak is very happy at Wigan, you only have to watch him when he plays to see that. He has been one of the best, if not the best player for us so far this season. If you’re unhappy at a club you don’t play as well or as enthused as Zak has for us.

His performances will only get better with the players we’ve brilliantly signed up for 2020. His link play with French and Hastings in the halves and J Burgess and Manfredi on the wings will be central to our style; you can already see it now to a certain extent, more the basics of whats to come in 2020.

He plays with a smile on his face and consistently well. If that’s a player who is rumoured to be unhappy then stone me dead.

Powell will be much better than McShane next year after a year with Lamb.

This. Total speculation from Cas fans who think because we have signed someone who can play fullback, that the prodigal son will return, especially since a lot of them want rid of Matautia.

I for one doubt he has messed up again.

He was homesick. But he's enjoying his rugby there.

Regarding him been sacked and wanting him back.

Steve Gill sacked him. Much to Powells dismay which is why he left the club.

Powell never wanted him to leave and would have him back.

Mata'utia isn't the answer at Full Back. Which is why Jordan Rankin has been deployed there lately. And occupies a quota spot.

I'd suspect. This is nothing but idle rumours. However I'd be surprised if Zak would want to stay and play centre for years.

I think it's garbage. Why would Cas play hardball over someone as irrelevant as Mitch Clark if we were trying to get ZH back from Wigan?

Would be a poor move by the club to let him return to Cas. Especially given how they’ve handled the situation with Mitch C.

I’d send out a message to Powell and co, they’re not the force they think they are. Would love nothing more than to see that idiot not get what he wants.

Imagine if Burgess had a year with Skerrett......sorry I couldn't resist

The Hardker rumour is a very credible one.

A good few people on this side of the hill who whilst not directly involved with Cas but do have links with them have been saying it for some time.

Long before we signed French.

I’m not saying it’s going to happen but I wouldn’t disguard it totally out of hand, there are defiantly some credible(ish) people expecting it to happen.

Phil Wiko.. And I quote.
Hardaker to Cas is "absolute "

That'll do for me.

This won't happen even though I would love him back. Not sure why you would move him to centre though when he is clearly the best FB around.

He also kept posting that Bevan French “wasn’t on the radar”

Does The Mole generally stick to NRL signings (to other NRL or SL clubs)? Rather than SL to SL?

Do we have a credible source in this country? I get the feeling most just read these forums and hazard a guess.

He spends a lot of time hiding behind the bushes in ZH's front garden
