Anyone heard anything about Harker to Wigan?

Tommy Leuluai had signed for next year, he might do a Haka before a game?

Maybe referring to the statement made by Hardaker that he is returning to SL next season, but it won't be Leeds.
His agent is said to be in talks with HKR.

I was just making a small joke, but it's well and truly trampled on now...

I watched the Panthers last night against Manly. They really did put on quite a show of attacking footy. Handling skills superb.

Sorry Moto, I am not quite up to date with these modern twists on humour, I am more of a Mick & Pat man.

Anyway whilst on the subject does anyone think Hardaker would be any use to Wigan, or is it someone Wigan would consider.

I heard his name mentioned on Monday evening.

I think it's a tough one this. Hardacre on his day is superb! However, we have our marquee player at FB and I expect much more from him next season. I think Zak is a better centre than Gildart who looks like he'll take the centre spot vacated by Sarginson. We are a good utility player short in the back's next year and I'd love us to go for a decent centre. Zak could be that (and he can kick goals). If we could squeeze him under the cap he could be good for us.
I've only heard Hull KR, Saints and Warrington have shown any interest though.

Might not be in SL if it's HKR then...

I don't mind Hardaker if his mind is clear of any trouble. Whether he can do that or not is anyone's guess. I'd also be wary about signing another back who cannot pass the ball...

Well, when say, the Panthers put on a superb display of attacking footy, I'm not really including Hardaker in that.

They gave him a bit of game time on the left. He didn't make the biggest impression, but he showed his pace to good effect when he chased back and overhauled a rare Manly raid. He did enough to show he is quick, and has decent footwork, but as you say, he's not the greatest passer of the ball.

Would fit in well here then
