Zak Hardaker's most honest ever interview

Good morning everyone, my name is Jay, and I have been a Warriors fan from a young age.

Yesterday, I recorded a podcast with Wigan Warriors star Zak Hardaker, who opened-up in an extremely honest interview about his previous mistakes, his drugs ban, and how he has now changed his life both on-and-off the field.

He also touches on the 2020 Grand Final and his 2021 aims in addition to having a hair transplant and becoming a father, which was really nice to hear about. The interview is in-depth, so I have added a time-list with all the different chapters if you'd like to skip to a certain part. To access the YouTube Video, please visit 'Jay Whittle' on YouTube.

If you enjoy this video, Iā€™d really appreciate if you could subscribe to my YouTube channel. It is free of charge and means the absolute world to me šŸ‘šŸ» Thanks again

Interesting interview. The lad does seem to have turned himself round, though he also gets his excuses in!

Personally more impressed with how he's "taken one for the team" by playing centre this year than by the talk of reform. That shows that it's real and not just talk. Hope he keeps it up.

has he not played centre more in his career than fullback?

I thought we would see Zak in trouble again but hes proved me wrong and seems to have got his head straight - no doubt the birth of his child will only serve as more reason to stay within the rules

hes been massive for Wigan since he pulled on the shirt

And he says he prefers/preferred fullback. He also won MoS playing fullback.

man of steel has been won by people playing in different positions before - Hanley, Farrell, Zak only became full back at Leeds due to Webbs injury.

I don't quite follow where you're going, Pedro? I made a comment:

...and your responses seem to lead to a Monty Python argument sketch...
Man: Ah, Is this the right room for an argument?

Mr. Vibrating: I told you once.

Man: No you haven't.

Mr. Vibrating: Yes I have.

Man: When?

Mr. Vibrating: Just now.

Man: No you didn't.

Mr. Vibrating: Yes I did.

Man: You didn't

Mr. Vibrating: I did!
My comment is a perfectly reasonable statement of opinion about Zac's development as a person and as a player, (not based on what position he has played in most), which is what the thread is about.
