Makes a change for us to be linked to players during the season rather than losing them. It's also good these rumours are not immediately rubbished by the clubs hierarchy. These stories, whether true or false, build hope, and paints the clubs name in a positive light.

After his antics at Cas I'd doubt Powell will touch him. By all accounts he's had another brain fart, which will only become more prevalent the nearer he gets to Ponte.

Aye, read he’s apparently messed up again. wouldn’t want him personally

Re: Rumours thread : Mon Feb 12, 2024 2:36 pm  

Wouldn’t touch him with a 10ft barge pole (who’s got a barge pole)

Where would you play him?
I certainly wouldn’t want to see him play ahead of Pratt or Croft or even Law

Good question. Pratt looks the business at centre and needs game time this year. Croft equally is a good centre and imho both are good enough for SL and will only improve over next few years.

Hardaker is a good player though. If he’s happy to fight for a place and offer cover for full back and centre then maybe short term this year it’s worth exploring.

Could all just be unfounded rumours with it being pre season and all.

Based on what?

Hardaker would improve any team in the Championship and would be an asset to a number of SL clubs. I like both Pratt and Croft but they'd be behind Hardaker if we signed him IMO.

On field maybe, off the field no way.

No thanks, good player admittedly but clearly got too many off-field issues and would no doubt upset the apple cart if we signed him. Fairly sure Powell will stay clear

Re: Rumours thread : Mon Feb 12, 2024 4:01 pm  

Would be great if we had rumours about good S L players ,that are not too old ,or got a bad track record off the field .Players who are quality ,remember we are hoping to be back in S L next year .If we can not do that ,save the Cash till next year
