Hearing reports he’s been sacked by Wigan again

The lads a nuttet

On Wigan forum says he as gone

Maybe some truth in that he got ratted and locked up after the wakey Wigan game

Confirmed now by the club on their website. He's gone.

Silly boy.

Who's favourite to get him.
Could a return to Cas or Leeds be on the cards.

Nobody in their right minds!

Welcome aboard Zak

Absolute waste of space off the field but on the field he is a talent which means somebody somewhere will give him a chance. My money would be on Leeds but I wouldn't rule out FEV

Both a bit too close to 'home'.
Toulouse may be an option!

I would quality player, would put to shame quite a few at this club with warts and all

He was complaining about the commute to Wigan so not sure Tolouse would be an option but you never know.

Just had a nosey over on the Wigan forum and some are saying its due to repeatedly turning up late for training.

That's my point, it's a dilemma.

A player like him could destroy our already fragile team or he could transform it - not a call I'd want to make.

Quality player but ours isn't the kind of club who can handle his off field stuff.

Anyone that gets him would have to accept that they'd get one to two years of top quality rugby, ending in a brain explosion that means you are left with a hole in your team to fill at short notice.

Wigan are big enough to fill it we are not

Don`t know if I`m the only one, for me he is now massively overrated. At one time a big club would accept the risk of disruption because he was such a talent, I just don`t think he`s at that level now. Leeds are desperate and will snap him up though.

Remember when Wigan signed ZH and Lenagan was taking shots at Leeds and Cas`s mismanagement of him?

why we had the likes of Leo-latu, Smith, Locke, Moore, Newton, Owen, Kirmond, and Annakin just a quick list of a few that all had off field issues with but were still here aren't we could look for a mother Teresa but I doubt we get one

Leopards and spots.

On his day, a very good player no question but, is it worth the pain.

He’s been wanting away for a while, if what they are saying on forum is true seems like he was probably wanting to precipitate an agree to release.

Suspect he’s already lined up his next move or he wouldn’t be walking away from his contract.

Only obvious contenders are cas and Leeds - given that castleford first choice centre is 34 and injured wouldn’t surprise me if he made a “shock “ resigning for them.

Baring in mind his previous burnt bridges, back to Fev seems a good option.

Flawed genius on his day, Radlinski moved heaven and earth to get him a gig after his well documented off field shenanigans, must feel really let down . Think he’s had enough chances to redeem himself and can’t seem to shake those inner demons that have plagued his career . Good on Wigan and Matt Peet , sometimes you’ve just got to cut loose ,no matter how good they are and give someone else the chance of a lifetime.

I can't see Cas having him back after what he did, but you never know stranger things have happened in RL.

I'm happy with Jowitt, Hall and Lyne to be honest I don't think any of them should be dropped for ZH.

Great shout.


Till you remember who their coach is.

With a Super League place at stake I think he might put up with Zac for one year.
