The Hardaker story was written by Aaron Bower rather than Matt Shaw, both have decent credibility but neither have the same inside contacts at Leeds that Peter Smith does. They may have better contacts with Hardaker's agent though!
These reporters are sometimes tools of the players and agents and clubs. There's every chance this "Zak is definitely leaving" story is the agent sending a message to Leeds to hurry up the things they know are being done to sort the issue given time is passing quickly.
"Brian McDermott, with a wry smile, nods when asked if he remembers a specific incident which made him realise he was a prick. 'I do', he murmurs."

Lets see how this pans out over next few hours/days. Like him to stay but not worth 2 years and expect he got high wage demands. If he’s gone he’s gone.

Exactly, there’s not much we can do if his wage demands exceed what we have left to pay.

He’s gone bud, GH offered him a poor deal and that’s that.
Nene Macdonald definitely coming in though, but he’s no great shakes is he?

Think maybe we're being a bit hard on McDonald. He's big and fast and at 28, still in his athletic prime. You don't play 100 games in the NRL if you are mug. Really good try scoring record as well. I think he'll give us more strike than either Sutty or Zak as a centre. Sad the Zak looks to be gone but realistically he is 30 plus - nobody gets better from that point on. McDonald would be very much a Rohan signing. You'd have to back his judgement given all the available evidence.
