Aye if he doesn't understand why a club would only offer him a year and ask him to prove himself then he really hasn't learned anything from the last few years I guess. Saw he had a 2 year deal. Interested to see his behaviour if they go back down. Not sure if he has some kind of relegation get out clause. Not our player now anyway. Onwards…

Personally I think we should be offering players like Hardaker a 2 year contract. He is/was one of our better players last season and good players don`t come along too easily. As long as we put stipulations in there re his behaviour etc 2 years is a no brainer especially based on some of the signings we have made for next season and the experience Hardaker would bring to the team. Not sure why he would have to earn a second year when he`s proved his worth last season.

Can't remember Zak having a bad game since his return. That said, I'd rather see players with a bit more attacking pizzazz in the centre or at FB. Maybe Rohan saw it the same. Who knows?

As much as I agree, I’d prefer him over Rhys Martin and Olipherts in the centres. That’s what we’re going to see for most of next season.

Yep, previous comment was made on the assumption there'll be a centre incoming

It's a hard call. We have been v critical of cap management in regards to long deals especially on older players. By the sounds of it we couldn't put a fair deal on until Walker moved and even then rumours say 1+1 Yr deal and less than the leigh centipards offered. Can't blame him,it's likely his last deal.
For me,this highlights the cap issues sport wide and why we need less teams,more money instead of another decade of playing to the bottom rung

I’m still praying we have a centre lined, otherwise, based on our signings and departures, it’s as if we were relegated and preparing for a season in the Championship.
