As a Warrington supporter just would say how much I respect what he has achieved, particularly this season. When he announced he was leaving I remember seeing a lot of people - even here - saying he should go at once. A measure of the man that he did not switch off, and as they said on the Sky interview, for a Super League coach to leave on his own timetable is very rare. Pi**ed us all of at times, as all opposition coaches do, but taking a step back, so impressive.

People keep saying that, but Hardaker didn't look NRL class when he was actually in the NRL.

Do you think 11 games is enough after travelling around the world and settling in with a new team at the highest level , even a homesick Sam played 37 games .

They are both up to NRL level , or at least Sam was when he was there , but it aint gona happen overnight. There is also a difference between being a world beater in the NRL and being upto the level , hes was never going to be a Jarryd Hayne but he certainly woudnt be a weak link.

Yes, frankly, I do. If he'd shown any promise, he'd have played more than 11 games. Youngsters come into the NRL having never played a senior game in their lives, and often look far more impressive than Hardaker. Sam at least shown he was NRL standard. But if he'd been as poor in his first 11 as Hardaker, I'm sure he'd have been on the plane home too.

He played at centre in an Average Penrith side, he had no chance to show off he best assets which are kick returns and one on one defence.

you don't know your rugby then, look at Pat Richards at Wigan , poor first season and then became a world beater . There's getting up to speed , game time , finding your feet and then showing what you can do , ain't gona be done in 11 games for most.
