However realistically they aren't going to be an option. If Leeds were to offer him a deal to the end of the season they would probably get him unless Fev is more appealing to him.

On one hand I aren’t surprised Leigh have made a big money offer, it’s very much how they operate, but on the other their two big off season signings were Caeleb Aekins who plays fullback and nene macdonald who has been playing centre. Granted they could shuffle either of those onto the wing or there’s the other centre slot but it’s not as clear cut and opportunity as he’s likely to get at Leeds at the minute I reckon. I would also assume their deal would be heavily backloaded based on the hope they get promotion?

Fev have splashed the cash recently, not sure how much more they have to spend and would Brian Mc take him? Personally I doubt it. As for Leigh it does feels like a match

Leaving Wigan to go back to Yorkshire and ending up in Leigh is like leaving Lancashire to go back to Australia and ending up in Yorkshire, it will never happen.

Given his history I doubt he’s going to be in a position to demand the same big bucks and should be grateful if there is a club prepared to ‘rescue his career’ for the umpteenth time as otherwise he’s on the scrap heap.

If Zak has any ambition at all to be an England player he simply can’t sign for Leigh.
