He had a couple more try savers too. Getting under Lewis when he tried to burrow over and also stopped Parcel from getting it down. Handles Tanginoa on a couple of other occasions.
If he can put a little bit of size on and get a good run of games (while not OVERplaying him too soon) he's gonna be a great player.

Hardaker would have been on pretty big money at Leigh, and I’m sure they’d have offered him another year so it’s safe to say he won’t be on peanuts so there’s no way we’ll be recruiting another first choice specialist centre. The first choice back line looks finalised. For me that’s disappointing as I really think we needed some pace and strike in the centres.

1 Walker
2 Martin
3 Hardaker
4 Sutcliffe
5 Briscoe

It might be a bit more solid defensively but I don’t think that compares well to the likes of Salford, Leigh, Huddersfield, Leeds who will likely be competing for the play off places outside the established big boys. That’s without taking into account the ages of players like Hardaker and Briscoe and the risk of expecting them to play week in and week out.

Maybe they’ll eventually try Okunbor as a back, he’s built well for it but wouldn’t hold too much hope in that been successful. AJ Towse has also been shopped around to SL clubs and with the Myler connection can see someone like that coming in. Hard to get excited about the likely back line though for next year at all and don’t see the scope for that to change much.

Looked at AJ Towse’s clips and he looks to be useful. I know we only see ’the best of’ in clips but I know this lad’s been talkd up a lot. Could be worth a punt, if we don’t someone else will and he’ll be a superstar!

Let's hope we have a decent physio lined up for next season. Rumour is we're close to signing new sponsorship deals with SAGA holidays and stannah stairlifts

I heard we've booked out Hornsea Garden Centre for pre-season camp.

Handy squad player.
