I have never met the lad, but listening to him or looking at his social media he reminds me of Gareth Hock. Got amazing natural talent, but is missing the intelligence to be aware of the media, so will not be allowed to become the player he should be.
Unfortunately for him to be a great you need to be intelligent enough to manage media as well as be a great player these days or else the media will destroy you.
Something RL clubs seem to be behind RU on. Hardaker is a great natural player, good looking lad, very sellable, if someone would coach him on how to behave and interview in the 2016 media world.
I will bet that after his move to Sale you will see Charnley's public profile and media change! He will be Sale's new poster boy to replace Cipriani.
I'm going on a tangent, suppose I am saying if clubs like Leeds/Wigan don't \can't manage to mould either these 2 into figures recognised by everyone in the country, who can?
