Hardacker

[TCL]

Do we have any money? If ET takes the $200k we saved on FArah, can we buy anyone if we dont release some players.

Not sure the club hasn't made any firm comments on retention for next year that i recall and the last word was don't expect any but since then they got ET on a subsidy?

 

[Tigertigertiger]

He makes Rankin look like a superstar so that's saying something

 

[jirskyr]

I put a line through him when he bombed that try against us a few rounds ago. Might prove me wrong, but early signs are he doesn't quite cut it in NRL.

English forwards are a different kettle of fish to their backs.
.

Spot on. Pretty sure there hasn't been a decent Pommy back make an impact in the NRL/NSWRL since Ellery Hanley or Andy Courier nearly 30 years ago.
Their forwards slot straight into the grind of our comp but the backs never usually cut it.
Hardaker seems like another to be cast onto the 'useless' pile. No thanks.

Same goes for any of the Aussies/Kiwis coming back from ESL.

Forwards usually go better than their backs it seems

 

[Doc_Tiger]

Don't think he's been given much of a chance at the Panthers. Comes down to bucks I guess. I'd find a $525 ask from him pretty outrageous if that's factual, but $250-$300 would be well worth a punt I think.

Sam Tomkins 2.0
Not good enough

 

[Club_Sandwich]

Would rather we used what little money we have on proven talent

 

[tiger05premier]

Would rather blake ayshford

 

[Chainlink]

Still not re-signed and we still have a few outside back spots to fill (so far we haven't re-signed Malone, Peni or Charlie Taylor).

If we don't re-sign some of these blokes the. hardaker would be an okay squad addition. He can kick can't he?

 

[Demps]

Dud'acker is a big NO.

Charlie Taylor >

What about the Welsh bloke that played for the Dogs , ex Union fella

And the best back to come to the NRL was Gary Schofield

Jonathan Davies…was the Welsh Rugby player and David Toplis was a very handy back

I keep thinking the Dogs players name was Connolly , but I don't think that's right

Johnathan Davies that's the bloke

Peni has signed with rugby Western Force. Charlie Taylor is also being chased by Australian rugby. Hardaker is ordinary he missed out representing England rugby league and is asking ridiculous amount of $$$$ to play here

 

[jadtiger]

Hardacker was not very good at the panthers.I wouldnt bother as he would want big dollars also

Well if all that is correct, we certainly need to be looking at other outside back options. If Penu and Taylor and supposedly Naiqama also potentially on way out, I would think we need to be seriously on the look out.
