He's on his way

Hmmmm, not sure about this one... Will believe it when I see it...

Wouldn't say no! International class and a former man of steel.
He's abit of a loose cannon off the pitch.. Or has been!
Can a Leopard change it's spots?

Interesting, is he still under contract at Leeds? wonder if its a season loan.

Well, he has the ability, hopefully a year in Australia has matured him and will curb his off field trouble

Where to?

rumours have surfaced!

what a signing this would be, would also boost the season tickets and get a feel good factor about the place for 2017.

if he did come then that would likely mean the mamo deal has not come off

some right pace in the team with brierley and hardaker in the team add brough and thats some attacking team.

not confirmed yet mind

maybe crabtree retiring will free the cash up

wouldnt get hopes up about Hardaker , Salford are chasing him to fingers crossed the Giants get him

Brearley

I heard Mamo is being signed to play wing and first choice cover for Full Back. Imagine:

1. Hardaker
2. McGilvarry
3. Cudjoe
4. Gaskell
5. Mamo

All we need then is 1 real good prop. Seen Walker has signed for Saints so thats off the cards.

Class player and even if he isn't coming to us, If there is any truth in the rumor they are trying to get him, it will restore some of my faith in the club, Forget his reputation for trouble, Brough came with a reputation and he turned out to be our best signing for years, If we want to sell season tickets, this is the way to do it, A class player who is not over the hill, a young halfback with bags of potential, and another with the skills and kicking to make the best of them.

It would be nice if he came, but if not we need to be looking at like players, we need to get the feel good thing back, and keep it going.

Exactly my thoughts, the club feels stale to me... Nothing for the fans to get excited about.. Mamo on the wing (which I think is his best position) and Hardaker at full back would be a very interesting back line... I just don't know where the money will come from... All the talk on here people are saying were pretty much spent up...

Ellis & Wood to be shifted? I very much doubt we are at full cap considering the comings and goings over the last 4/5 yeas

There are others besides those as well, but we don't want the board going into meltdown again.

As I said on the other thread. Trying to engineer a swap deal with Brierley

For me that would be the wrong move..... UNLESS the deal was a loan swap deal for a year- we then get brierley back. There should be a caveat put in there that is hardaker puts a foot wrong then the deal is off. That solves our full back issue and leeds' half back issue short term.
No way should we be allowing brierley to move on otherwise.

Are we really so desperate to consider moving Brierley on? ' surely not I hope.

Hardaker would be a good signing to solve our FB slot but not at the expense of creating a bigger problem in the halves?

Personally really looking forward to seeing Brough and Brierley next year after a full pre sesson together so will be devastated if that cannot happen. Hoping they both go well in the four nations games.

Getting a bit worried about the lack of news in the recruitment front and also confirmation of who else may be moving on. Appreciate we have a tendency to only announce signings once fully confirmed so hoping no news is good news.

Hard acre yes

At the loss of brierly no way

Talk on the Leeds board is Hardaker going to Cas.
Good player but a lot of off field stuff and do we want that? I'll buck the trend and say I wouldn't go for him given his history, and where did this rumour come from anyway?

Mentioned in League Express (joining us or Cas with Salford chasing too) but then again they have predicted Knights players to us and Crabtree to go too and that ain't happened either.

I and a few others have been screaming for a half with pace for years, and as much as i rate Hardaker i would not let Breirley go, we have messed about with make do men for long enough, I can't believe anyone at the Giants would be that stupid, but then again.
If it came down to a case of us and Cas for Hardaker ," IF " I think Cas would be strong favorites, but i'd love to see him at Giants.

Why would Cas be strong favourites to sign him. I appreciate they may be about to cash in on Solomona. However they have already signed Greg Eden to play full back next year so their priorities will be in other areas.

If we can "afford" it ...........................given the "standards" Ken sets and z h`s "record"I cant see it going forward without some very tight conditions on his future behaviour

Whilst Lads are"lads" it`s claimed he crossed the line once or twice in his personal life and otherwise WHY would Gary have released him (man osteel and all that !)

However IF the tiger can be tamed its only the inverse of leeds taking onboard our friend Mr Ferres

As such I wouldnt mind too much ashis on field talent is obvious -----so long as it doesnt involve us losing an half back weve just signed prior to seeing the damage HE might do alongside Broughy ?

Seems that way -its robbing PETER to pay PAUL and status quo --which means we arent moving forward After last season thats no 1 priority in my book!

Its just a gut feeling, I have no info saying Cas are flush or anything. Isn't he from over that neck of the woods " which doesn't mean a lot i know " but D Powell is making quite a name for himself as a coach, and that sometimes is enough to attract a player, Time will tell i suppose, We may not be even trying for him for all i know. I certainly wouldn't loose Brierley to get him though.

Cas announcing a signing at noon. Hardaker? Probably.
