Hardaker can go for me if we can get a deal that works for us.

He’s been a quality player for us but bother just seems to follow him about. After a brief period where I thought he had turned a corner I’m not expecting another indiscretion sooner rather than later.


It's always the case sadly.

The unpredictability is ridiculously predictable.

We had it with Martin Gleeson, with Gareth Hock, with Sean Long as an assistant coach (in which capacity he didn't last a week!!!) and it's only a matter of time with Hardaker. Again.

Once a bad lad always a bad lad, I'm afraid. You can keep on trying to trust them, you can give them chance after chance to live the life that for so many others can only be a distant dream, and they'll always repay you with trouble.

We need to let him go. Not on his terms, but on ours. I'm way past the stage now where yobs should be allowed to call the shots. Good player though he is, he's too much of a liability. Even if he sits in the stand for a year, I don't care. Someone pays for him, or he doesn't play. And he doesn't play for Wigan again until he's proved that he's committed. And after the recent rash of stories, that's going to take some doing.

Just about had it with absolute nobodies trying to exercise leverage over us.

Most idiotic post ever goes to Grimmy..... The way to restart should be an arm wrestle between a designated player from each side.

Drink driving, driving without insurance, driving without MOT. Obviously a long list of things he's done at other clubs too.

He hadn't even played a game for us then had he?

We sent him to rehab shortly after and AFAIK he hasn't done anything since.

The silence by French and the club about his availibility for next season is deafening!

Lenagan has said that the club will only be making one more signing.

The question is, is it become a signing to replace French and not a half back as first indicated, especially with Leulaui suddenly announcing that he will play for another season?

What is there for the club to say or French?

He’s contracted to us for next year, it was his choice and the club let him go back to Aus for his recovery and rehab.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Plus his family situation, and that has to come first.

French always has very little to say out of season. Good for him I say. He’s probably enjoying himself. I really hope he comes back but don’t expect any concrete update from him.

You would assume that his image would be used to promote season tickets as he’s the kind of player that influences people to purchase a season ticket.

So far it’s been Bateman & KPP used.
