Hardaker leaves England team due to personal reasons. No replacement will be named.

He wouldn't have got a game anyway, but hopefully the guy sorts out whatever issues he has.

Is this still the fall out from the Hock incident? Pity we didn't get to see him play, what's the chances of Tomkins getting injured now?

RL refuse to give out more details. Cue more rumours and disruption Just tell everyone why and we can all move on.

And what if it is something private to Hardaker that he doesnt want revealing?

EXACTLY. The PR from the England team is simply awful. " Personal issues" just exposes the player to all sorts of speculation.

Of course the media were just making stuff up to disrupt Mcnmaras squad. With Hock and now Hardaker, thank god Mcnamara didn't select Danny Brough with his attitude.....

Well, at least no-one can say Sky Sports doesn't give a flying one. It seems to be the "breaking news" story on the ticker.

Potentially a huge loss. If and when there are injuries his ability at FB or centre could be greatly missed. In fact, if Hardaker had had to be called upon in an hour of need I think he would have stregthened the first team. Now we would definitely see a weakening should we have an injury at FB or centre.

Whatever the reason I hope it's not too serious. Ryan Atkins rubbed McNamara up the wrong way & he's not had a look in since.

prob been out on the lash again or spit his dummy out after not being selected for saturdays game.

as for the fullback options if tomkins gets injured could we call up ratchford?

Widdop or possibly Watkins would go to fullback

No replacements allowed mate

Got it in one!! Weds night on the ale got in to a scrap then returned to camp on thursday
Sporting a shiner!
Got told this on sat morning then 2 days later its anounced hes left for personal reasons. Strange coincidence? I think not!

What if he's been released from the england squad for personal reasons?

Personal issues could be ANYTHING. That's what i'm saying.
