Plus he is not match fit
hardly played
God knows who signed off on this.Makes no sense whatsoever

Yeah they all played in the 2022 GF

He's had a 14 month ban for coke and currently serving a drink driving ban after rolling a car, you don't need to have played with him to know they're not good things

If we were talking about prime Hardaker, from say 6 or 7 years ago, then I would maybe, possibly consider overlooking his baggage to bring in what was undoubtedly a quality player. But he's not even close to that standard now. He's solid at best. I don't really want someone with his history when there will be plenty of others available at his sort of standard.

How can you overlook drink driving and drug use?

I don't care about the drug use. He wasn't taking performance enhancers. He has had his demons and I can forgive that. The drink driving is harder to overlook admittedly.
