Leeds have today announced that despite releasing Walker from a year of his contract to join Bradford to free up room to make Zach Hardaker an offer, he's now accepted a 'very lucrative offer' from a Super League club.

Cas wouldn't be stupid enough to have him back? Leigh? The Wire?

Hull FC?

No thanks, he has had mor clubs than Tiger Woods.

We have Dufty to play fullback for us which is Hardaker`s best position.

Thewlis will be our fullback, long term.

Also, Hardaker is nothing but trouble, and not worth the hassle.

Leigh probably. They've got a press conference booked in that will 'make you go wow'. Apparantly.

Powell has been there before with Hardaker, after the Grand Final fiasco in 2017 I can't see Powell going back there.

Didn’t he leave Wigan because of the travelling? Leigh is the same distance…

The lure of playing for a new franchise was too much apparantly. That and a 'significant financial offer'. Does make you wonder how a guy who couldn't be up for playing for Wigan is going to be up for doing it for the Leopards. A leopard never changes his spots they always say.

Although they'll be striped black and white according to press release. Sounds more like a white tiger to me.

There will be a (oce)lot expected of Zac. No lion around doing nothing they will expect him to be tigerish in his efforts.

Hardaker is the RL equivalent of Elton John. Soon as he kicked the drugs he went crap.

Leigh could be a complete fiasco, or actually turn into something semi-decent. If they can get Ferguson, Hardaker, Lam and Leutele interested and playing well, they will actually have a decent team. Players like O’Brien, Holmes, Hughes, Mulhearn, Mellor, Charnley and Briscoe have all been about at the top level and won’t be intimidated.

The problem is, it’s a powder (no pun intended, Zak) keg. It could be derailed at any point.

Very good.

We should prise Lam from them. Make him marquee and offer a stupid transfer fee. He's superb.

You have us in Purrgatory, CH.

Have they got someone on a wowcher deal?

(chance to get your own back CH)

Thinking, Thinking “hamster wheel of doom”, thinking…nope i ain’t got nuffink

I think the Leigh rebrand is the cats whiskers, a purrfect way to get publicity, I wonder how the Leigh fans are feline about it though, purrrhaps its just a paw publicity stunt that no one has spotted.

Someone on Twitter suggested Leigh
Leighpards!!!

The lepers.

Bit near the bone…

I did wonder if it was appropriate in 2022. Used to be a banter term pre-2000s, almost expected if you were a visiting Widnes fan. Since leprosy is a thing of the past and not in recent memory I thought it would be safe to post



I apologise if anyone here is currently suffering from leprosy

I'm not remotely offended but when I was in India I saw quite a number of poor souls suffering from leprosy.

Actually i was running with the leprosy theme…

You’re right, I just googled it… I’ve been all over the world (including Africa and India) and I didn’t realise it was still a thing. Better be more careful next time.
