Hardaker will play in the centre this weekend against the Tigers! Comment has been made about how light he is at 87kg's.

Is that due to him not working hard enough in the gym, poor work by the conditioning staff or the lack of off season time?

Ideal playing weight is very much a personal thing. It's also not necessarily indicative of strength - few people would say that Hardaker struggles in collision despite "only" weighing 87kgs.
