well he's gone up in my estimation if that is true :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: but still not sure that i would want him back

Also Hardacre has said he prefers fullback to centre and he'd definitely have a chance of winning things over there. Only thing that would stop that is if Hardacre wants to stay in Yorkshire or if Saints are planning to give Welsby his chance
Why would zak move back to Pontefract to then sign for saints it’s obvious that he’s signed for a Yorkshire club next year
Oh sorry wasn't aware he'd moved to Pontefract. He'll probably be somewhere round here then 😂

Hardaker has one year left on his contract at Wigan; Trueman has one year left on his contract at Cas.
We also need a half. If we gave Trueman away we would have no halves, only O'Brien who I wouldn't count as a half anyway. Personally didn't mind the Trueman going rumours as he's not even close to what he was expected to be but at the moment he's not one we want to be letting go imo

I’d argue that since he joined, O’Brien has been better than both Trueman and Richardson.

Definitely but he's still not a half, or at least as I would define one. We definitely need another that can organise whether we keep Trueman or not. The original plan was that O'Brien be cover and if he's stepping into Richardson's role then Richardson is still to be replaced regardless

Bring back Luke Gale. He isn’t perfect and could be prone to injury but behind a decent pack we could do with his organisation.

Wigan and Wakefield are supposed to be after Gale.

Tony_T wrote: 04 Aug 2021, 12:16 Definitely don't want to see Hardaker back here. People must have short memories is all I can say. If we've got the money for his salary which will be pretty hefty I'm sure then we should be looking at other options.
The thing is that his salary is unlikely to reflect his ability.
1. What other options does he have? If he wants to move back to Yorkshire then he’s very limited in terms if his options. Leeds aren’t going to have him back. He’s not Watson’s sort of character, so I can’t see him at Huddersfield. He’s in a very weak negotiating position.
2. His salary will always be influenced by his past misdemeanours. Everyone knows he’s a gamble, so there has to be some kind of ‘pay-off’ for taking it.

I was always very much against re-signing him. But he’d certainly improve the quality of our on-field product. I’d rather watch Zak Hardaker than some of the dross we have put on the field in the last couple of years.
you're very close here mate.

I’ve just had a whisper, Hardacre, 3 yr contract. Source usually reliable….

I’ve heard two years with terms significantly reduced to smooth through the move…

Club must have forgiven and maybe even forgotten.

I haven’t….

DP probably hasn’t either, but he’s off.

Powell did all he could to try and get him to re-sign for Cas up until a few weeks before he headed off to Wigan

He must be going round telling all and sundry then as my usual source also says it’s a goer. Two years with an option of a third.

This is what I have been told. Sounds like the terms were very favourable for Cas.
So are Wigan terminating his contract?
