And some were quite critical of the fee especially considering the original asking price was £300k.

To coin a phrase I've seen many a time on here 'The sleeve by plenty'....

Can't think of many players in the Super League era that we've shipped on and it not been the right decision.

Some good posts on this thread...

Who the hell cares, he's way past any sympathy. Get rid.

Have cas now paid the fee for hardaker or are they going to try renege on the deal once they terminate his contract

150k wasn't it

Turns out the class clown didn't even wait for the tougher times before he started acting up.

Next move in 2 years. Catalan chase the Dragon.

This (and then some)

As a player to witness, he's been a joy, especially when he's playing for your side. But when you enter the arena of pro sports, you've got to be just that.....professional. Unfortunately for Mr Hardaker, he was/ is a natural sports player who could afford to burn the candle at both ends. He's still a young chap, who can hopefully turn it around and have a few years where he can entertain the fans and add to his medal haul. We've all had demons of one kind or another, so I hope he isn't lost to the game and he cleans his life up.

He now needs the help from Stevie ward's charity or he will end up like George best and Gazza

Cannot agree. It’s not a tragedy. He is a plonker he is an adult in a privileged position have zero sympathy for him. I think we are over egging his talents as well. A good super league player was a very average also ran in the NRL.

Agreed. Not a tragedy in any way,shape or form. He's a daft lad who put a good night before his career and got caught.

At the moment it's just a shame, let's hope it doesn't turn into a tragedy ala Terry Newton.
