Anyone really expect any different to this hardaker no matter what team is a player who only plays to win and give his all I feel we're gunna feel exactly how the Leeds fans did when we played them with him in our team unless we have taken a long look at our selves and actually roll up our sleeves and dig in for a full 80 minute effort I think rather than there be 7500 happy fans there will be one extremely happily hated player

He's trying to get a rise out of the fans. This game is on Sky isn't it?, he would love something to happen on national T.V that would result in the club getting a fine.

The best thing everyone in the crowd can do on Friday is ignore him. Zak raises his game when the crowd get onto him. Arguably his best performances for Cas came against Leeds, both home and away. The more the Leeds supporters jeered him, the better he became.
There’s the potential for something unpleasant to happen too. We know we have a minority of idiots and given he plays at full back, he’s going to be very close to the WRE with his back to the crowd. I hope it doesn’t happen, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a moron who decided to throw things at him. Likewise, Zak’s known for idiocy, so wouldn’t surprise me to see him throwing abuse at people in the crowd or going one step further a la Cantona (okay, maybe not that far, but this is Zak and his stupidity level is pretty high).
I hope everyone just gives him the silent treatment and I think that will actually get to him more than anything. Won’t happen though.

We hate Wigan with a passion.
The majority hate Zak with a passion.

Dreading this game. Hate to lose to Wigan anyway but the fact Zak has the chance of getting one over us as well ain't good.

Don't give him the Facebook type attention he craves. The only thing that will affect him in a way he doesn't want is a Cas side on form putting him under pressure and a bus ride home after a defeat.

ZAK as a player top notch , Bad FRIENDS ?? easily led comes to mind , another 10 years when he grows up , I will buy the bloke a pint, the amount of players that as played for us over the years must be in the Hundreds I would never think of slating them when they come back down the lane,

He'll get jeered, but that's part and parcel of coming down the lane as a Wigan player. Horrible club.

I like the sound, excuse the pun of complete silence. I agree with the fact that for some players, the more on their back you are, the better they play.

could never happen, but literally like the Aussies did with Stuart Broad, the in-named Wigan player, just treat him entirely like he is not there. total silence.

Because some of us are adults. Just turn up and watch rugby. If people want to boo him then that's up to them, if he's hurt people that bad then they have every right to be frustrated considering how he left.

He didn’t leave, Gill sacked him. Rightly so in my opinion.

Move on.

lets not forget we probaly would not got to final and won league leaders trophy if not for hardackers great season who was that good in 2017 . And he did want to stay at cas after is ban powell by all acounts wanted him to stay , certain directors and chairmen that and taken the high moral ground .We be in a lot happy place now if kept him that's for sure and not have one off are main rivals benefiting the rewards , but maybe we could not afford is treatment for is mental issues and send him to a the right clinic .
