The decision for him to leave was probably made way before it was made public. Therefore, the “walking straight into employment” is probably longer than appears.

I wish him all the best, he's doing whats right for him and his family. Hopefully we have Evalds to look forward to sooner rather than later and everything will have worked out very well for all.

Good luck to the lad.
He played with far more enthusiasm than Wardle did.
A player who we paid for and wanted.
Rankin certainly had his critics.
Yet he filled in where required and always gave 100 %.
To land an immediate contract is testimony to him.
Plenty of years ahead of him.
Back to his home country where they have a much better handle on the pandemic.

Good luck to Jordan. However, can't see him getting much game time with Parramatta at the moment, their backline at the minute are in red hot form.

I was one of his biggest critics, with, his lack of speed and poor passing, but, I wish the lad well and hope he's a success in his new adventure.

I would not at all be surprised about that Salford need to save money and will reluctantly release him

Gave 100%. His talent couldn't always match his effort but that is no criticism. I think the only FB that could live up to Zacs 2017 season is Evalds. Which is nice.

Thanks and good luck.

Yes he was, but, that's not saying much is it.

let's be fair comparing anyone to Zak that season is unfair no one in the league comes close to 2017 zak.

Let’s not forget, Hardaker as lost lots of form since 2017.
Doubt he’ll ever play that good again.

Love him or hate him he's got something special if he's in the mood and not distracted by off field antics.
