Hardaker is going nowhere (he likes the leopard print too much). I like many others will have seen the highlights reel of Milford, and will have seen a player who likes to ghost through gaps, has shoulders made of teflon which defenders slide off.
What was missing was a kicking game and possibly distribution.
The main issues appear to be fitness, and attitude. Questions whether Leigh would want such a player, when they have a no d1ckhead policy.

Honestly I think the ideal foil for Lam would have been Tyrone May, but that ship has sailed.

I would have preferred Milford team mate Cody Nicorima. He has been playing well and can cover half back, full back and hooker. He has even played centre.

Have to say that you have named the player selection policy very well SS

I think our recruitment needs to be on the right edge. Whilst pretty solid defensively it has offered very little going forward. Improvement can be made in the half back on the right edge and also in a right edge forward. Frankie Halton may well be the answer as the right edge forward but i need to see more of him to be sure. We definitely need a right edge half back and a firing Anthony Milford would be scary as in that role. We have experience of resurrecting careers and he could be the answer. Already looking forward to next year.

Jackson Hastings and Brodie Croft where doing nothing in the NRL, if Lammy gets into MIlford well just wow wow wow
