Hartley is a Decent player, he's just got to stay fit and if he does I'm sure he'll prove his doubters wrong like he did against fev. He's definitely not lazy, I payed particular attention to hartley against barrow to see how he goes after hearing his uncle (Barry Briggs ex warrington and wigan player who I had played with at schoolboys) passed away before the barrow game and all credit to the kid, his line speed was very quick in defence, and he put himself about in attack too. Keep it up.
I too consider Ridyard the better option however, against Fev Hartley 'won' me over with an all round excellent display although against Barrow he didn't figure quite as much. Hartley's Goal kicking against Fev was top drawer and I was amazed to see Nanyn resume the kicking duties against Barrow! I would leave Hartley at stand off,for now, and try to find a bench spot for Ridyard because I'm sure he could have had some creative impact against Barrow, when it was needed.

i cant remember the last time we had half backs who could pass both ways nor can i remember us having a stand off, scrum half and hooker that can work our team around the park aswell as Duffy/Hartley and Paul.

Hartley has another step or more to climb and injury free could be a key signing for us this season. I think our coach realises this and will persevere to bring the best out of him.
