what do u guys think to this??

i personally think u should have given him a chance in the centres to prove what hes worth!

hes scored more trys than pryce and barnett and hes only played 2 and a half games (and out of position)

i think you'd get on like a house on fire with KOL

He isn't playing out of position, when he was at Cas he was a winger. I think the loan spell will do him good.

You know what my views are on this- its absolutly ridiculous.We play 2 centres who hardly score a try between them and loan out a try scorer who hasnt had one full game at centre and the other proven try scorer who should have been given a proper chance rips oldham apart last week for yet another 2 tries.Try scoring centres are as rare as rockin horse s,hit,we had 3 with q,y and somehow now are left with none....but hey this is hunslet we are talking about.

[Hawkwindbag]

I hope he doesn't go the same way as the last one we loaned off to Gateshead, the half-back Nigel Scott.

He was never seen or heard of again !!

[The King Of Leon]

My feelings exactly

I agree with regards to cunny Steve but lets face it i really liked q,y he and grimmer had a great understanding on the field but what happened regarding him leaving the club was unavoidable really Harding i liked the look of but needs more experience and its up to the coaches really im sure he will be a good asset for Hunslet.

Who is Leeds RL ??

Maybe we should have been careful and had a bit more forethought around the fact that we haven't got a second team to even give game time to players.

We still have players who are playing one in every three on a 'rotational' system and it can't be good for anyone - some of these are real good players like Blakeway , McLocklan and Dooler.

We certainly haven't shown strength in the three quarters yet but we are scrapping results against competitive opposition.

I hope Harding benefits from Gateshead and gets good game time to develop and come back to us as a better player.

Maybe we could loan a prop or two to Rhinos ?? lol

Scott played for the Leeds Uni team in the cup last week along with a couple more ex Hunslet players

[Mrbus]

Harding needs to learn to defence before being put at centre, playing for gateshead will give him plenty of practice.

Its all well and good saying clayton doesn't score many, but how many does he save? how many extra tackles does he make with teams trying to get to paul march? would cunny or harding be up to the task, i don't think so.

Let's hope Harding won't end up playing for an amateur side in next year's Challenge Cup then ...

If the club thinks that he's not up to Championship standard at the minute then fair enough ... I just can't see how he'll improve playing in a side that looks set to cop for more good hidings again this season (apart from improving his tackling ... )

If we couldn't have arranged a loan deal at a top half Championship One side, then we might as well offered him back to Castleford (or similar) on a deal like we arranged with Louis Stead at Huddersfield.

Suzzy i dont blame the club one bit over q,y they had no choice really, its the mug who payed his contract money for this season that i feel sorry for.....as regards cunny ive been there a thousand times, an oldham fan on their board said he was the best player on the park by miles last week-i rest my case.We can also add george rayner in the fast pacy know their way over the line threequarters that we had at the start of the season to the other 3.

I was told Harding had gone for a month-- no problem with this.
Mark Cunningham played 24 games in Hunslets first team scoring 7 tries -- he didn't have the best coaches in charge of him.
KOL , and LEEDS RL could be acting as agents for Cunni and Harding from their postings --- sit back and think why Cunni is not playing in the Hunslet first team.

[The King Of Leon]

FF anyone who knows me and there are plenty that do knows i aint no agent- sometimes i wish i was.I tell it like it is and put my money where my mouth is when it comes to getting decent players to hunslet, if im wrong i,ll be the 1st to hold my hands up but in hardings case he hasnt been given a fair crack imo and in cunnys case we played him when we had a ###### team and i still beleive in this team running off grimmer and marchys passes he would be another q,y.These are my personal views.

[LeedsRL]

for your information, iv grown up with harding and hes always played centre!! yeh hes played the odd game on the wing but hes always been a centre and wen he was at bradford he played second row and prop!!!

[rothwellhawk]

You ever thought that the reason the centre on the right doesn't score many is because of the players on the right, look at last season and how many tries were scored on either side, if clayton was to score lots of tries it'd probably mean that the March Twins, Haughey and pryce's tally's would all be down, Qy scored a lot of tries and mikey mark and grimmer a few but how many did the back row score and they dint have a loose forward on that side too.
Elliot Kear hasn't scored yet in his 3 games but look at his record for wales, just let the players who are selected get on with it i say.

[Hawkwindbag]

Perhaps the club needs to issue a statement clarifying the situation then.

It would be true to say that so far everyone's been reacting to (and fuelling) an unsubstantiated message board rumour ...

[The King Of Leon]

Hawkwind, a statement has just been released 20 mins ago. Hes gone for a months loan.

I TOLD YOU SO, thanks Hawkeye for confirming it.---- now KOL why don't you ask Cunni himself why he's not playing at South Leeds Stadium, or Batley who he played a couple of games for, or Oldham if you say he gets a good mention on their Forum, or ANY OTHER CLUB who are on the look out for a centre.
