Zak Hardaker has insisted he has no qualms about being thrown straight back in for his second Leeds Rhinos debut this Friday night. Hardaker has endured a whirlwind week which saw him released by former club Wigan Warriors, before the Rhinos acted quickly to re-sign the England international on an initial deal until the end of the season.
Having been dropped by the Warriors ahead of the Easter period before ultimately being released, Hardaker has not played for a number of weeks. But he stressed that he has told interim coach Jamie Jones-Buchanan he is ready and willing to be selected to face Hull Kingston Rovers and is eager to get going as a Leeds player once again.
"I've got no injuries so it's a case of whether I'm picked," he said. "I've told Jonesy I'm available and it was good to get back on the training field and playing in a different system. We'll see if I play on Friday."
