Englishman Zak Hardakers stint in the NRL is officially over, with the fullback signing with Super League club Castleford on a one-year loan deal.Hardaker played 11 matches with Penrith at the end of last season in a bid to establish himself in the NRL, while on loan from English club Leeds.However the 2014 Man of Steel started once for the Panthers and scored a solitary try off the bench as he failed to impress any NRL club enough to meet the $525,000 transfer fee requested by Leeds.Instead, they have agreed to shift the 25-year-old to the English Super Leagues Tigers for one season, while his contract with the Rhinos lasts until the end of 2019.I am delighted that Zak has decided to sign for the Tigers, Castleford coach Daryl Powell said.Two years ago he was the Man of Steel and there is no doubt he is an outstanding rugby league player.Hardaker will be unable to be requested back to Leeds during his stint at Castleford, and the club has the option to purchase him full-time at the end of the 2017 season. Jeff Wilson Super Bowl Jersey . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap.

The formidable trio of Canadian receivers -- individually known as Chris Getzlaf, Rob Bagg and Andy Fantuz -- will share the field at Mosaic Stadium one more time on Sunday. Frank Gore Super Bowl Jersey . -- Ryan Getzlaf grabbed the three pucks wrapped in tape and held them up to his chest in the Anaheim Ducks dressing room for a celebration nine seasons in the making. Raheem Mostert Super Bowl Jersey . Clarkson had been dealing with an elbow injury in early January and will be out of action for at least one week. He has three goals and five assists through 36 games with the Leafs this season. None of Shannon Boyds new green and gold kit fitted him when he joined the Australian camp earlier this week.Once he found some clothes that did, the hulking Canberra prop moved to shocking his new Kangaroos teammates with the massive weights he can lift in the gym.But the Test rookie will be hoping the biggest impression he leaves in Perth will be on the New Zealand forward pack at nib Stadium on Saturday.Boyd was the big surprise of coach Mal Meningas 24-man Four Nations squad named last week. However after spearheading the Raiders to a preliminary final this year it is a spot he has earned.The 24-year-old 122kg, 194cm giant from Cowra in the central west of NSW, will make his Test debut, alongside Valentine Holmes and Tyson Frizell, against a massive Kiwis forward pack and his teammates are expecting big, even bigger things.First of all he is a massive human being, who takes a lot of stopping, Kangaroos bench forward Sam Thaiday told AAP.He has played some really good footy, on the back of Canberras success this year he has had the chance to really shine.(Raiders coach) Ricky Stuart has really brought the best out of him, it is a great reward for a player like him to play in the Australian side at such a young ageI know he will be relishing the experience playing alongside the veteran forwards in this side and he is only going to get bigger and better.ddddddddddddAustralian skipper Cameron Smith was just one of a number of players who recalled the impression Boyds weight sessions have made this week.I wasnt in there but I heard about it, he said.I played against him a couple of times this year and it was hard work to contain him, Smith said on Friday.Hes been great this week. Hes obviously very excited with the opportunity hes been given.Hes probably a little bit surprised with his selection in the team. Given the way that he played for the Raiders this year and how well their team went, a big reason why they played so well was because of his efforts.Im looking forward to seeing what he can do at this level.Expect an emotional Boyd when he runs onto nib Stadium at around 5pm local time on Saturday.I wasnt that emotional when Mal called me about being in the squad but I think I will be if I get to play, Boyd, who has played 67 games for the Raiders since 2014 and is yet to play State of Origin, said earlier this week.I am just so excited to be named in the 24-man squad.To be a chance of playing it is a lot more than what I thought I would achieve this year.
