So is Dwyer, but would throw myself off the humber bridge if we signed him again.

I don't see what Milner offers that we don't already have at 9 or 13.

Whilst I'm not advocating signing him, he has played most of the last 2 years or so (maybe longer) at centre.

Ability wise he is better than we have, not sure he is the right type of signing we need though.

Yes.

Surley the club wouldn't be stupid enough to sign Hardaker, for all the talk of improving the culture signing him would be an enormous step in the wrong direction. He's still a decent player but I'd rather we swerved that.

Hardaker needs a lift off Briscoe to get to training

Had a text saying "Hardaker done deal" sent to me over the weekend. I'm hoping it's a mix up with Oli Holmes....

I think he's cooked now ability wise, not to mention his off field record. Can't talk about improving the culture and bring that flog in

Solid defender is Zak and gives 110%, put apart from grunt his attack is shocking - in all his time at Leigh I can barely remember him setting up his winger

Your taking quite a risk with Asiata, who is class when he’s on the field, in Zak you get solid but unspectacular

We're craving for solid and unspectacular tbf

Is every player a risk?

Played 28 games last season
32 the year before.

OK he has an injury now which has kept him out for most the season, but what players hasn't missed a few games with injury. His history suggests he has a pretty good injury record.

Ipapa has played two games this year, would he be a risky signing too?

We been linked with Hardaker for about 5 years, ability wise he is ok, but factor in character and age, its got to be a no from me.

Not even sure about the ability now, after watching Hoy run over the top of him to score a try.

Culture was a Smith buzzword, yes it matters but getting a bunch of players with the right ingredients who will work for each other is more important. I'd take Hardaker for a year just like we have Briscoe - both are short term fixes that would take us to mid table, something we can only dream of right now

Asiata missed the end of last season with a torn hamstring

Played one game and 10 mins this season then 7? Out with a torn calf

Played 15 mins against Cats then appears to be out for another 6 weeks - rumoured to be hamstring again

Every player has injuries, IPape has come back from a one off injury and looked strong

Really hope it works out for you and him, he’s inspirational both on and off the pitch - Leigh thought medically he had a good 12 months in him, you see it differently, genuinely hope your right -RL needs a strong competitive Hull side

Myler has used the word 'identity' which is basically the same. Agree both Hardaker and Briscoe are short term fixes but I'd rather go and get another centre other than Zak.

Hardaker causes problems at every club he's at, worst being him costing Cas the grand final, and is not a good role model for younger players / fans...sort of signing we should be avoiding if we want to build a good culture at the club
