Quote: NickyKiss "All seems a bit strange. They talk about him wanting to go to the NRL but teams over there don't make too many mid season signings. Why make it so public? If he wants to test himself in the NRL surely he would go in the off season and it wouldn't need to be blown up with him being placed on a transfer list.
It just seems like he wants out of a sinking ship and Leeds have thrown their toys out the pram (although to be fair they've stick by him in the past so you can understand them being annoyed).'"
I don't know the truth of why Hardaker is wanting to leave now (apparently personal reasons and not to do with the club) but it's not true that NRL club's don't make mid-season signings. Peats, Hurrell, Grevsmuhl and Paulo are first graders who've changed club's just this week, and there'll be more moving before the June 30th deadline. If he wants to go to the NRL then now is exactly the time to say so.
