He's a plodder and that's all he's ever going to be, we need to learn and be a bit more ruthless when we need to show players the door. Can't knock any of the others though. Excellent effort

What the hell were you watching? Mass was solid as a rock, tackled his heart out and nearly always hit the ground on his front and plays it quick. He is never going to be a superstar but in a salary capped sport not everyone can be.

Found his front yes but wouldn't say a quick play of the ball, DP gives him a job to do and he executes, that's it.

I couldn't believe how hardaker as changed since he was at cas he looked fast lean brilliant full back then just a shadow of that bloke ,also is Clark injured no idea how he's been going at wigan but he would have been fired up to play surely over one or two of forwards they had on bench

I hope everyone who persists with the utopian dream of bringing him back now realise that Zak Hardaker is not the player he was.
He spent his time out of the game abusing alcohol (and possibly other substances). As a result, he’s retuned to the game showing the affects this has on a professional athlete.
To make matters worse, Wigan seem to have decided to make him a big and strong as possible. He’s put in so much muscle mass that he’s lost his footwork, pace and agility.
He’s no longer seen as the best full-back at Wigan, never mind the best full-back in Super League.

Or maybe Lamb is following Bennets ideas. Look what happened to Bennet.

Zak is wasted at centre and if that's where Wigan plan on using him, I don't think he'll be hanging around for long before his next move.

Not so sure, since his return he looks a shadow of the player he was for us. Even at FB his speed and ability to break the line seemed to have gone.

We see the player for 80 minutes on the field, their coach will know a lot more and maybe they feel the same way.

I honestly can't understand the Massey criticism

Powell asks him to perform a role and he does it every week.

He's often the unsung hero. Does all the spade work and creates the platform for the playmakers.

I know it’s only two games in but Blair looks a different player after a good pre season....

I thought he was ok going forward. He does get between defenders and land clean on his front. He was at fault for the first try though- dropping off Byrne who scored.
