I think he will be seen as:

The guy who could and should have kicked us to victory in the Grand Final.

Or

The guy who should have known his kicking distance limitations and informed his captain that he should take the kick to touch instead.

Depending on which Wigan fan you talk to.

Zak is not that good a place kicker. Fine to stand in when regular kicker out, but not reliable enough as a first give place kicker , and never had this role for us or Cas. His restart kicks are awesome and a weapon though…..’

A suspected seizure...

Apparently so, wishing him a full recovery.

Probably been out on the booze all night. It can happen the day after. Balls to his recovery. Little ungrateful mercenary.

It’s only rugby mate and I certainly don’t think we should feel that let down that we’re not concerned about the person.

Fingers crossed the lads ok and he’s back on the field ASAP. We can give him some friendly s*it then.

Don't think he was too concerned when he was punching a young lad in the face. He gets no sympathy from me.

Each to their own. We know he’s an idiot and having a seizure doesn’t change that but from a solely human POV I hope he’s fine. I’d never feel let down enough to not wish him well on this front but I think simply put, I’m just not bothered about his exit from the club.

All the best to him . Sporting rivalries mean nowt when something like this happens

EW

Agree

Looks like Shabino is shutting down the thread on the Leeds board (that he started, surprisingly) about Hardaker. Be good if this one came to a close now too

Agreed

Wish Zak all the best and a Speedy recovery

Yeah - hope he recovers. That said, I do find a certain level of comfort in Leeds paying his salary whilst he doesnt play for them.

So frustrating seeing Hastings kick goals and drop goals for fun for wests.

That GF should have been ours.

Moron.

well put

Agreed. At least kick it dead, giving us a full minute with a set in their half and the chance to put the drop goal over.

What kind of seizure did Zak suffer because if it was an Epileptic seizure then he might be prevented from playing as i suffered with seizures at school and was prevented from playing any contact sport,here's hoping that he is allowed to resume his career

Hope both Zak and the baby are ok.

Not a nice experience to go through that.

From a Wigan point of view I do hope we can find a goal kicker for 2023….it’s been a while now.

Hardaker isn’t a very nice person. Never has been, never will be.

Whilst I don’t agree with what was said I can understand others feelings aggrieved by his actions over the years especially if you have seen them first hand.

JJB update- Initial checks are ok. Waiting some further tests over next few weeks.
Best case scenario is that it was stress linked after what he’s been through over last few months…….

Oh no. I'm so offended

ok then. Get well soon Zak. I will do the BBC thing of publicly apologising even when I don't mean it. A thug who beats people up for no reason is all of a sudden some kind of martyr when he gets Ill, bet you were devastated when George Floyd died too even though he was the lowest of the low. Never mind the victims, let's all pray for the aggressors. Snowflake city.

You Could just say nothing at all?

PS

I Never ceased to be amazed at the people who throw out the "Snowflake", "Woke" "Lefty" accusations being the ones who are so upset when people say something back to them. They're the equivalent of Piers (You should be able to say what you want) Morgan who gets upset and walks off in a strop when guess what, Someone Dares say something back to them.

Top line - You can think what you want, inside your head no-one will know your a Whopper, But say it and everyone will know it.

PPS
He didn't just Die - He was Murdered

Can we lock this thread please

As I said a few pages ago
Lets hope for a speedy recovery and Move on

Yip - Lock it (Trouble is some people will think They're a Victim of Cancel Culture

)
