His interview for today's evening post hardly stunk of someone about to leave either 'we won't throw in the towell' 'we can't be down all the time'........ End of they year I can see it happening maybe, but rumours doing the rounds are for an immediate release which I can't imagine is true, if it is, despite his performances this season, that'd indicate we're ready to stick in with Golding, which would really tell you we have thrown in the towel, as he is currently of middle 8 quality Max!

Part exchange with who, Luke Burgess?

More fool any NRL club that takes him on. The conduct rules over there would see him spending most of the season sat in the stands.

Luke Burguess is out of contract at the end of this season and cant see any nrl club wanting him so no swap deal needed to sign him

Luke Burgess has in part become a casualty of Sam going to RU. That broke the whole rationale behind Souths trying to keep all the brothers together. Had Sam not left Luke would probably have stayed under (cheap) contract at Souths for a while as the PR value was huge.

I think Hardaker has the Ability to do well in the NRL but his general immature attitude and self destruct nature means he is a ticking time bomb over there.

The owners of Manly were GH's invited guests at the magic weekend. Any chance this rumour has just sprung from their visit somehow?

Brett Stewart is crocked and probably in his last season, but Tom Trbojevic is pretty much guaranteed to be his replacement at fullback.

Knights would make sense - Brown and Buderus know how good Hardaker can be. Maybe Souths. Maybe the party club at Gold Coast. Slight possibility of Canberra if they ditch Wighton. Everyone else pretty well set for fullbacks.

He is more a casualty of getting into bar fights ey?

I doubt the Roosters would want Hardaker as Mitchell is starting to show form to match his massive potential (at least in patches).

He is a potential Aussie full back - he is one of the most exciting young players in the NRL
