Who have you got in mind? I think to be fair, Hardaker has more than pace and power. He has a great step, but more than that is a beautifully balanced runner. He's also a pretty good support player.

Who know's what the conditions of employment will entail.
If we do sign him (which looks likely) McShane looks doomed here and I also hope we play him as a proper hooker, so start him and give him the best chance. Instead of the sporadic manner in which McShane was used.

Billy Slater, Brent Webb, Richie Barnett, Graham Steadman, Minichello, Hayne, Bowen, Tomkins, Gidley, Gary Jack…………Paul Wellens (goes without saying really). Who rely on footwork, pace, acceleration, balance, positioning, timing, rather than sheer power. I have not seen Inglis play FB but would guess he bucks the trend a bit.

I'm not going to put Hardaker in the same bracket as those players, but I think he curently relies more on footwork, angles and balance than on power. Whether that changes as he gets older and fills out remains to be seen. I think he's good enough to reach the heights that some of those above have (probably not all - Billy Slater is probably the best full back I'll ever see) if he keeps improving.

I don't think he will be selected. McDermott has to fit Sutcliffe, McGuire, Burrow, Sinfield and Ward into the 17.

I think one of those needs to be moved on now...sorry but this happens to all players...
and another 2 need to play "in position"
which then makes the whole thing a lot simpler. IMHO

Is that a criticism of McDermott's shoehorn selection strategy that certain players must play no matter what?
If so, when was Sutcliffe included as a member of the shoehorning selection process?

Hope the paper is wrong and you don't sign him! He's a top top player and is better than your current 9.

| Aiton has class, pedigree and nause.
The only mystery is why he went to Wakey at all.
As fro Poore - put him at Leeds and he'll kill it.
Look at Horo now he's at Manly....
