People need to get a grip, very few British players available, those that are top class are gonna be after marquee contracts which we should be using on a half, prop and 2nd row. For what hardaker will cost your not going to get any better in terms of experience. One thing I'm certain of is you'll get him on the field more then carlos

Talk on the Leeds board of us making a play for O'Connor. We could guarantee him the 9 shirt for next season. Guess Leeds would want a significant fee for him.

Good player, very similar game style to Danny Houghton.

Hopefully, we have a behaviour clause in his contract.

FFS our fans are just infuriating and are the biggest set of Hypocrites!!!! YES Hardaker off field hasn't covered himself in glory at all i think its fair to say that but hes a WINNER on the field and still plays at a high level and was less than a yar ago lifting the CC Trophy, In addition to that he stays fit!! 24 games played last year which will more than likely be more than Carlos has played across past 3 seasons! In regards of some of our fans being Hypocrites... Did we not support and love Stevie Michaels?? Last time i checked he was done for drug dealing in aus and was always on the bag when he came over... did anyone bat an eyelid? NO did it affect our team on the field? NO did he play well in big games for us? YES. Every club has players that have off field issues at some point in time (Minchella anyone?), as long as we can keep him fit and firing then its a great signing, hes loved by other players as on the field hes everything you need in a professional. GET A GRIP!! This is one of the most exciting periods for a few years with potentially some big big signings to follow so stop bloody moaning!!!!!!

Good Player O'Connor , Would be a good signing for us . Radford tried to sign him before he went to Leeds iirc.

Or a swap deal with Hardaker.

Could see Sutcliffe moving into the back row, and a strike centre Tesi Niu for example, coming in

The game is full of players who have made mistakes but have learned their lesson. Problem with Hardaker is that he's transgressed so many times. He was disqualified for 3 years earlier this year on drink driving charge for the second time. I wouldn't call that the actions of a experienced professional sportsman.

On the playing side he will be 32 when he joins us in decline and signed on a 2 year contract. What other club would have offered him that deal?.

There is a reason why we are being mocked by all and sundry.

No matter what I'll support him like every Hull player but in my opinion it's a poor signing.

Good call.

he's already 32, he'll be 33 when he starts with us. I'm not bothered about his past, he's mostly been an idiot. It's more the playing side. Leigh fans are glad to see the back of him
