This bit pees me off.

"The conviction could have a devastating effect on his career."

I find it hard to have sympathy for a homophobic drunk driver.

His driving could have had a devastating effect on somebody'd life - RL is just a game a form of entertainment.

Does anyone know what fine band he was penalised under? You can use that to calculate his weekly income.

Since he's now made himself the biggest news story in the game for the second Grand Final week in a row, fingers crossed he brings his new club the same luck as he brought his last one.

I've not seen you on here before which area of the woodwork did you crawl out from?

If you look at the stats under his profile pic, you'll see he's been a member for nearly 2 years longer than you.

He drove into a cul de sac . I could catch a moron that’s trying to get away by charging into a dead end and I only have one lung.

I reckon it would have been 30 feet wide.

If hardaker could not get through a gap that big defended by one copper then the rest of SL Has nothing to worry about.

He’s replacing a bloke who couldn’t get past a bar maid so it’s not like expectations can be too high at Wigan.

I hadn't heard that one before

He got away and home didn't he and the police picked him up there.

Unless the guy becomes teetotal then he's only another few drinks away from his next incident. Just about every problem comes from him having a drink. That's why you hear plenty of him being spoken well of when people meet him or he gives his apology interviews because sober Hardaker can be fine.

People may not remember, but Adrian Morley did exactly the same thing in terms of drink driving and running from the cops - at the same time that the GB team had a don't drink and drive campaign as the main front of jersey logo.
The vast majority of normal folk, in normal jobs don't do this stuff, these high profile, highly paid jerks, who have an abundance of support networks available have no excuse.

In Hardakers case its surely just a matter of time before he does something stupid again
