Jughead Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 3 hours ago, ShropshireBull said: Only feels like Wigan here who´ve been shafted but he´s off the cap so givesa them options too. Why? Wigan were, I imagine, not going to offer him a new deal and I doubt he’d have signed one anyway. Bevan French is now injury free and has three or four games under his belt, strengthening Wigan’s backline and they now, I assume, have some (more) wriggle room in the cap.

How have they got enough salary cap left? isn't the cap based on a rolling period.. thus Hardacre won't be a full years if current agreement is till end of season,,, Also the problem became more dire with loss of Sutcliffe and Briscoe... Sutcliffe being able to stand in at full back given he has played quite a number of games at full back a few seasons ago,,, so I guess the worst of the problems happened last week injury wise matching Hardacres release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super major Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 5 minutes ago, Dunbar said: I guess the question would be who? There aren't that many free agents knocking around that a Super League club would look to sign, even if they have a fair injury list like Leeds. They could have gone for a contracted player but that opens up a whole world of transfer fees which have effectively gone out of the game. Lucky for Leeds that they found an uncontracted player in the nick of time 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if Hardaker is on any significant amount of money anyway - he simply doesn't have the leverage to command the sort of cash that his talent should really be worth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxford Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 9 minutes ago, voteronniegibbs said: The avoidance of relegation is all this signing is for. Because that's the be all and end all and if you argue against relegation you open up a silly can of worms that can be as illogical as it is pointless. I don't know if this season is different from others in this but to me it looks likely to be decided by injury rather than ability. 2 warning points Non-Political Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a 2016 swap deal with Penrith Panthers for Hardaker, funnily enough. Zak strengthens Leeds immeasurably at full-back where he is arguably the best in the competition, defensively.

JohnM Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 He'll be good enough for the rest of the season to make a positive difference to Leeds position. Long term? We'll see. If it doesn't work out, there's a coaching job going over at Widnes that might suit him. Looking for something like a leaf blower....but for people.
