As Cas dont have the salary cap space either they've taken Zak on a "buy now pay later" deal. His salary will remain as part of our salary cap whilst ever he is out on loan so this doesn't allow us to spend it on another player. This is desperate stuff for Leeds !!! A lot can happen before the start of 2018, he may actually turn up back on our doorstep. All we've managed to do is get rid of a disruptive player who unfortunately has all the tlent in the world and I suspect Powell will be a good influence on him
I'm pretty sure you're factually incorrect on the way the cap works. Whatever Cas are paying him this year will count against their cap (and the same amount be deducted from Leeds). That's why the Tigers had to ship Ben Crooks off to Leigh for the season on loan, so that they're not paying his wages on the cap and can use that money to pay Hardaker.
