With FPN homesick blah blah blah and the noise coming out of Wigan he could be on his way there,fair play if they want to take the gamble. If he wasn’t going to cop a 2 year ban I’d have him here, maybe an idiot off the pitch but a damn good player on it.

He would have made an ideal member of our one time rehab programme.

Re: Zak Hardaker : Wed Feb 21, 2018 4:32 pm  

I think another SuperLeague team will sign him.

Whether Toronto will be in SuperLeague, when he plays again, who knows?

I believe we were interested in recruiting him both before he went to Leeds, & again before Cas signed him.

Hopefully that ship has sailed.

He is trouble with a capital T.

Looks like a 2 year exudus for hardaker if BBC sport is to be believed.
Another player using cocaine.

I've said it before. Rugby players are thick. Some are unbelievably thick.

Am I missing something here?

Drug offence announced in the first week in October, yet only sacked today. Have Cas been paying his wages for nearly 5 MONTHS? Surely it was instant dismissal for gross misconduct, or are Cas' contracts not worth the paper they're written on/Hardaker has a real hot-shot lawyer cum agent?

Either way, despite him being a top player, he's a widge. No ta.

A company leaves it's self wide open to be sued for unfair dismissal.
Without undoubted proof the club is bonded to a contract.
I think the club could now sue Hardaker for some of his contract back, however it would cost them some money to do so and I don't think they'd even get a sniff of what remained!

I seem to recall Daryl Powell saying that a club sponsor had found a job for Hardacre.

I'm guessing in October they had confirmation of the positive drug test, then possibly now they have been notified of their ruling, guess they have to follow process and cannot sack the player until the body delivers their inevitable verdict.

As you say, top player, not worth the risk.
