Part of me wonders if we took the goal kicking off him would he play better?

I thought the team did that today?

Probably more ahead of him that’s just off the top of my head.

He’s an above average runner of the ball and a good defensive full back but that doesn’t cut it in the modern game.

You need to be an extra half back. That forward pass he throw to Manfredi at Salford in the last 5 minutes nearly cost us the game.

This isn’t knee jerk as my posts on his inability to create at fullback date back to 2019.

That act of petulance at the end just tipped me over the edge.


I know we have bigger issues than this but I find it annoying how overrated he is by Facebook fans and weirdly the media.

Think Hardaker does a bit of a squirrel tackle first and Sam sees it and gets involved.

Ey up, he's here

Hardaker is a good FB. Was brilliant for a bit at Leeds, and sublime 2017 at Cas. Just lost that yard of pace now, and Shabby have any passing skills like Tomkins.
In fact Tomkins still the best player in SL by a country mile....!

Does look like a grab takes place in that area when you watch footage back,
Why would you have your hand between someone's legs?. Flanagan got a 10 game ban for the Bulls.

He’s a good FB and a good centre and for me he’s been superb for us. The past few games he’s been poor - alongside 17 of his teammates. He has self confidence and that’s evident from his comments, and why shouldn’t he?

Let’s have it right there’s only one person to blame for Zak’s and the rest of the teams poor play - Adrian Lam.

Re: Hardaker : Sun May 30, 2021 9:15 am  

I think he made a rod for his own back a few weeks ago with them comments bigging himself up.. just wasn't necessary.

What sort of ban will he be looking at ?

He’s a good player, I agree, with the odd flash of brilliance but in his head he thinks he is superb all the time. Those days are behind him, he needs to knuckle down and concentrate on being a team player instead of a “superstar” but Lam will have a few weeks without him


The quality of the league is poor this year again, and that’s the biggest worry.

The worst part of all this is we'll probably end up with Hanley at full back for a good few weeks.
