Cas. have sacked Hardaker . He is a very exciting player ,should Saints take a chance on signing him .

Isn't he also about to receive a 2 year ban? He really should be. Wigan seem to have signed him, they must know something to have even gone passed asking about his availability should he become a free agent.

He's a good player, but he's also not a one-off moment of madness, but a consistent history of brainfarts. Not worth it.

would not go near him too much baggage

Good player however he offers nothing exceptional that we havent got in house. Even with no Barba.

Too much risk, doesn't look like a character who can mend his ways, his temperament will always put him on the edge of another scandal situation. Also loyalty seems to be a low priority on his mind set.

Judder - quite right re loyalty. Leeds stood by him through a number of incidents (and when some fans would have been happy to see him gone). Then in 2016 he played like he couldn't care less, leading to him playing for the Panthers, and basically bagging Leeds as soon as he landed in Aus. He's the very definition of the me generation IMO.

I thought Wane's comments on him were tiresomely predictable. We've got more than a few idiots playing our game, and personally I'd like to hear less of the 'we can help him become a better man' (or whatever tosh is the current rage), and more "we as a club and a sport need to see him change his ways before he's welcomed back".
