dont be so obtuse

"Hull FC complete Zak Hardaker move as centre signs from Leigh Leopards"

Its also no secret that Holmes has also signed.

You are correct the club have not yet announced these signings but they let HDM announce the Asiata signing several days before they announced it.
If you dont want to believe these two have signed untl the club officially announce the signings thats fine

Technically he's still serving his current punishment. Would you say the same if rovers had signed him? Drink driving costs lives, it cant be defended.

If we sign cross's it makes the hardaker signing even more baffling. Crosswise solid enough but I was hoping for better I the centres, particularly for a quota player

Cross for Tindall
Hardaker for Scott

? Not the most exciting but better than we have.

I'd like a proper strike weapon out wide though.

To Bonaire as it won't let me quote...

We don't want to upset young Mr Beaumont again do we...

Whils I would never have signed Hardaker for his off field antics. You can’t deny he consistently delivers when on the pitch:

- silverware with Leeds
- Cas were the best they’ve ever been
- silverware with Wigan
- Silverware with Leigh

He’s a competitor and a winner. If the club have him on a short leash he should be a steady signing despite his age. Probably improves us and let’s be fair, we can only sign what’s available.

Whilst he wears the B&W shirt I’ll support him but off the pitch I have 0 respect for him.

Cross isn`t a Quota Player, he is English.

Fair enough, I always thought he was an fussiest. Solid but not gonna transform our back line

Guess you’re not a fan then.

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone or bottle.

Hardaker is a tool which I could live with if he were any good but whatever he had is long gone and will be further I the past by the time he finishes his 2 year contract. He'll be 33 when next season starts. If him and Sutcliffe are our starting centres it will likely be the worst 3/4 line in superleague

I only care about whether he produces the goods for us when he puts our shirt on and goes on the field for us.

Lots of millions of people have flaws in their private life. But if they turn up for work and are performing in their job, then that's fine by me.

The World would be a horrible. authoritarian World if we lived our lives to the letter of the law. It probably wouldn't function very well too, just like we won't function well without players who are good at their job.

If Hardaker goes in for a winning try in a Grand final or cup final for us, I will be cheering rather than not protesting.

He'd still be younger than Whitehead is now at that time. Let's not mention 40 year old Gareth Ellis or 39 year old Clive Sullivan when he won the cup with us in 82. Or when he won the cup with Rovers in 1980 at 37

Ellery Hanley scored 40 tries in a season from loose Forward for Leeds at around the age of 33 orv34. He was also Great Britain coach at the time

Is that last stat true?
