To Bonaire as it won't let me quote...



We don't want to upset young Mr Beaumont again do we...

Whils I would never have signed Hardaker for his off field antics. You can’t deny he consistently delivers when on the pitch:



- silverware with Leeds

- Cas were the best they’ve ever been

- silverware with Wigan

- Silverware with Leigh



He’s a competitor and a winner. If the club have him on a short leash he should be a steady signing despite his age. Probably improves us and let’s be fair, we can only sign what’s available.



Whilst he wears the B&W shirt I’ll support him but off the pitch I have 0 respect for him.

Cross isn`t a Quota Player, he is English.

Fair enough, I always thought he was an fussiest. Solid but not gonna transform our back line

Guess you’re not a fan then.

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone or bottle.

Hardaker is a tool which I could live with if he were any good but whatever he had is long gone and will be further I the past by the time he finishes his 2 year contract. He'll be 33 when next season starts. If him and Sutcliffe are our starting centres it will likely be the worst 3/4 line in superleague

I only care about whether he produces the goods for us when he puts our shirt on and goes on the field for us.



Lots of millions of people have flaws in their private life. But if they turn up for work and are performing in their job, then that's fine by me.



The World would be a horrible. authoritarian World if we lived our lives to the letter of the law. It probably wouldn't function very well too, just like we won't function well without players who are good at their job.



If Hardaker goes in for a winning try in a Grand final or cup final for us, I will be cheering rather than not protesting.

He'd still be younger than Whitehead is now at that time. Let's not mention 40 year old Gareth Ellis or 39 year old Clive Sullivan when he won the cup with us in 82. Or when he won the cup with Rovers in 1980 at 37



Ellery Hanley scored 40 tries in a season from loose Forward for Leeds at around the age of 33 orv34. He was also Great Britain coach at the time

Is that last stat true?

Dunno, but I saw plenty of games Hanley played and can confirm hardaker is no Ellery hanley

Wow is it, he had some try scoring record did Hanley.

I'll show my @rse in Woolies window.

Join the queue.

People need to get a grip, very few British players available, those that are top class are gonna be after marquee contracts which we should be using on a half, prop and 2nd row. For what hardaker will cost your not going to get any better in terms of experience. One thing I'm certain of is you'll get him on the field more then carlos

Talk on the Leeds board of us making a play for O'Connor. We could guarantee him the 9 shirt for next season. Guess Leeds would want a significant fee for him.

Good player, very similar game style to Danny Houghton.

Hopefully, we have a behaviour clause in his contract.

FFS our fans are just infuriating and are the biggest set of Hypocrites!!!! YES Hardaker off field hasn't covered himself in glory at all i think its fair to say that but hes a WINNER on the field and still plays at a high level and was less than a yar ago lifting the CC Trophy, In addition to that he stays fit!! 24 games played last year which will more than likely be more than Carlos has played across past 3 seasons! In regards of some of our fans being Hypocrites... Did we not support and love Stevie Michaels?? Last time i checked he was done for drug dealing in aus and was always on the bag when he came over... did anyone bat an eyelid? NO did it affect our team on the field? NO did he play well in big games for us? YES. Every club has players that have off field issues at some point in time (Minchella anyone?), as long as we can keep him fit and firing then its a great signing, hes loved by other players as on the field hes everything you need in a professional. GET A GRIP!! This is one of the most exciting periods for a few years with potentially some big big signings to follow so stop bloody moaning!!!!!!

Good Player O'Connor , Would be a good signing for us . Radford tried to sign him before he went to Leeds iirc.

Or a swap deal with Hardaker.

Could see Sutcliffe moving into the back row, and a strike centre Tesi Niu for example, coming in

The game is full of players who have made mistakes but have learned their lesson. Problem with Hardaker is that he's transgressed so many times. He was disqualified for 3 years earlier this year on drink driving charge for the second time. I wouldn't call that the actions of a experienced professional sportsman.



On the playing side he will be 32 when he joins us in decline and signed on a 2 year contract. What other club would have offered him that deal?.



There is a reason why we are being mocked by all and sundry.



No matter what I'll support him like every Hull player but in my opinion it's a poor signing.

Good call.

he's already 32, he'll be 33 when he starts with us. I'm not bothered about his past, he's mostly been an idiot. It's more the playing side. Leigh fans are glad to see the back of him
