I can't see Cas having him back after what he did, but you never know stranger things have happened in RL.

I'm happy with Jowitt, Hall and Lyne to be honest I don't think any of them should be dropped for ZH.

Great shout.


Till you remember who their coach is.

With a Super League place at stake I think he might put up with Zac for one year.

Hardaker could play 1 to 5 and, barring Johnstone, he’d be better than what we already have. No doubt at all that he’d improve us on the field. But you can also guarantee there’ll be problems with him at some point as well. If we thought we could get him through to September without any issues he might be worth a short term gamble.

Do you think he's a better centre than Hall, I don't. Hall is on his way up Hardaker is well on his way down. Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Ditto Max.

You're not getting the Hardaker of a few years ago, if you were Wigan would let him be late.

At this moment in time, yes, I think he’s better than both. I think we’ve unearthed a gem in Hall and he’s going to be a top player in the future, but he’s not in Hardaker’s league just yet. And should Tupou return to full fitness he’ll move ahead of Hall as well. A back line of Max, Johnstone, Hardaker, Lyne and Tupou would be as good as any in the bottom half of SL. His ability isn’t in question, it’s his off field antics that are the concern.

Couldn't give a monkeys tbh, he won't be coming to Wakefield that's for sure.

Yet you'd stall the development of two young players for an old one who probably won't make a jot of difference.

I'm as peed off as anyone with the last few weeks but I hope we are a bit more strategic than that.

I don't deny he's an experienced and talented player but his career is heading in only one direction.

Sign him by all means if we can afford him but for me, his only position to start with is on the wing to allow Kay to move back to 9 and then see how it goes.

It’s no different to Tupou coming back in for Hall and he’s a year older than Hardaker. I did mean more of a short term option for this season, but anything longer I agree with and I also don’t think he can trusted over a reasonable length of time.

If I had the choice of a decent 9 or Hardaker, I’d take the 9 and leave Kay on the wing. I think prop and hooker are more of a priority than three quarters.

Trinity probably won’t be able to afford him

30 yr old got another 5 -6 seasons in him yet making me feel like a dinosaur

It's s buyers market as far as ZH is concerned. There will be strings attached to any club he signs for, and he'll not get offered mega bucks. In last chance saloon again.

My money is on a return to Leeds.

Don't want him, don't need him.
We have quality centres (when they're all fit!)
We have a quality full back.
Also, I don't see Bill Tupou ousting Hall, the way that lad has been playing. I think it's his place to lose.
