I haven’t been very active as I’m been working away, but I’ve come back to info from my coffee meeting, that Zak has been offered a contract and now the decision is up to him, also prepare for player movement imminently, outgoing and incoming, I don’t know who or where but it’s happening.

Might be showing my age here but I don’t actually know what at that is!?

The suspense is killing me, will he won’t he!
Any idea how long we’ve offered? I say we beat KR with Zak at fullback….

Can't imagine Leeds will offer anything other than a deal to the end of the year.

This is a short-term proposition.

Player movement regarless of Hardaker move?

I think he means on top off Zak.

Wouldn’t surprise me if one of our quota players is going home/retiring and Rohan has someone lined up to replace him?

Fusi home sick or Prior retiring for me IF that’s the case?

Long as we aren't losing Oledzki or any of the good youngsters xD

Fusitu'a is the obvious one.

Prior I can see retiring end of year but not before.

We could/should be looking to shift Thompson though, don't think we'll ever know what Sinfield was thinking with that deal.

hopefully dwyer an mellor leave as rumoured - donaldson another that shouldn't have been extended with thompson

That Thompson deal is symptomatic of why we are where we are imo. Been too many of those. Interesting couple of weeks ahead

He didn't count on quota or cap as Toronto went bust.

Donaldson is good to have around as an experienced squad filler. Will always give his all and is a model pro. But we shouldn't be in a position where he's playing every week

Sorry…Thompson is a quota spot….we signed him a few weeks before Toronto officially went bust and so the RFL didn’t grant us the same exemptions that other clubs were given signing Toronto players after they went bust. Leeds failed in appealing to the RFL to change their decision.

Disagree re Donaldson, he’s arguably one of the better signings, every team/squad needs a player like that IMO

The outgoings and incomings are on top of Zak or regardless should I say. No contract length offer given, I did ask. No inclination as to what players. I would expect Zak to take it, I can’t see Cas fans accepting him and where would he fit in? Wakey? Doubt that and Brian Mcd hates him.

Brian Mac doesn’t hate him at all. He probably hates Leeds more than he hates Zak. Why would he hate Zak, massive
”part of what we won…..
But no way Fev could post that kind of wage….
Completely out of their structure/budget.

How much has been offered?

Ah really. I didn't know that. I stand corrected.

Very interesting Mr Bond.

Hardaker is not really in a strong position to negotiate. He's supposedly geographically restricted, several clubs wouldn't touch him whatever happened, others won't have the budget or cap space.

Fev have been splashing the cash as we've seen recently so may be up to their limit - or perhaps not. Leeds seem to have space and inclination. Cas - who knows what their position and attitude is. Wakey probably not. Then you're left with Huddersfield who won't be interested and that's pretty much it!

Just seen Sam Tomkins criticism of Zak’s off field behaviour. Pot calling the kettle…..

terrible. dont want this idiot anywhere near headingley, unless it's in armley. which is only time

Not your choice mate. Will massively improve the playing side of tho things. Forgive my friend, will make you feel good!

We've certainly come a long way since GH's pearl-clutching hysteria over Todd Carney or whoever it was. Unless there are some major safeguards which include the ability to flick him at the drop of a hat, I've no idea what we're thinking.
