I'm finally starting to think there may be something in this story.

Ceefax is still a thing...?



He goes on to comment about the Hardaker situation and then finishes it with “I’ve got no comment”; is this Yorkshire logic?

I think Minitel is still available in some backwaters of France.
Seriously though, I know we're short of legs in some positions, but why are we even blinking sideways at this bigotted coke-head?

Maybe because the club is sniffing an opportunity of getting a good player on the cheap and anything to do with morals, sense and respect have gone out of the window. I do fear what a player like that could do in influencing the younger players at the club, if he does sign it will be a very sad day for a once fine club. I for one would seriously reconsider having anything to with the club and I have been a supporter for over 40 years through thick and thin. The last few years have seen a gradual decline in many areas.

I know that not all players (some at the club already) are angels and never misbehave but seriously - someone who doesn't seem to have managed a full season without some fall out, really? And not minor things either.

I do wonder what happened to the much vaunted (Kris Radlinski are you on board your book was full of it) Wigan Way.....

There’s no way we’ll sign Hardaker.


















He hasn’t played for us previously.

Let’s face it, he’s not the only one in rugby league. That doesn’t make it right, because it’s certainly not - but you can guarantee it will be going on at every club, he just got caught...

He’s a sensational player who Wigan have wanted for years and now finally got the opportunity. As long as the contract is structured in a way to mitigate risk, I would be happy to see him at Wigan.

I wouldn't have thought he'd know much about it being a Saints fan

Well, I'm in the "very unhappy if it goes through" camp. And, in common with others, I'd say it isn't just (or even mostly) about the coke.

And on the pitch, we don't need him that much. But it's not about that, anyway. He shouldn't be anywhere near the club.

Not like you to be funny.

It’s a weird one this. On one hand his talent is for all to see and the chance of a former MOS in on a freebie is tempting. On the other his signing would be a massive risk (yes there would be clauses to protect the club) but the danger out there is the club’s reputation as a family club.

What would this say to the young lads on scholarship, or the lads and girls coming through the local amateur clubs? The club are making strides in the community (Ladies team...etc) but to me this would set the wrong message in my opinion, he’s not even been informed how long his ban will be yet (two years is being quoted).

Could a banned & bored Hardaker even stay out of trouble for 18 months? With the media frenzy it could very well be a unwanted distraction to our next two seasons.

Nah....not for me, but I’m not the Chairman.
