Can't put it all down to his mates though, the student assault in 2015 he was out with some of Leeds academy players.

The 2013 WC he was in the England camp and decided to go to Leeds for a drink and the homophobic incident was on field.

He certainly comes across as a young bloke that you wouldn't tire of slapping...... Hope he sorts himself out, at his age it's time he did, but age is no indication of wisdom

Like I have said before Hardaker is class and one of the best FB`s in the country.
He will be a great signing for Wigan like he was for Cas until he got found out.
I hope he has seen where this will leave him if he implodes again as England and SL need a player of Zak`s ability.
My worry is he still thinks he is above it all and once again after yet another "mistake" he signs for a top club.
Let`s face it if the likes of Sinfield, Peacock and Hall couldn`t make him see where he was heading then I doubt Gildart and Burgess will do any better.
But taking all that into consideration IF he stays clean he will be a great signing and will give Wigan an edge over other top 4 teams.

Well I blame the academy lads then.

Cas were successful when he was there. Even when things were going well, he couldn’t manage to keep himself out of trouble.

So you were actually being serious then?
I thought it was a typo!

I don’t think anyone can doubt Cas were successful in 2017, particularly before Hardaker’s stupidity.
I wasn’t claiming Cas have been successful in SL, but they certainly were during Hardaker’s spell at the club.

Yes, Cas were just as successful as Huddersfield were when they won the league leaders shield!

It's odd because you all had plenty to say about Barba to Saints.[/quote]

To be fair all the Wigan fans I spoke to said about Ben Barba was "I wish we were signing Ben Barba"

At least and that was my concern but our hand has been forced a little (or at least it was forced) by the Tomkins exit.

Given the club told Tomkins they were not taking up his option at the start of the season I'd love to know when the club first got serious about signing Hardaker and how the two are linked.

I'm certain it will be a topic of conversation for those who like conspiracy theories........... And those who seem to dislike all that the club do.
