Of all our young players, I've been most impressed by Hardwick. He's got an old head on young shoulders and makes good decisions in traffic.
And he quietly goes about his business.
I'm not overly quick to anoint a young player, but he's going okay.
Can't keep up with all the good young kids stories almost. Biggest surprise. He's bloody awesome. Great kick, great decision maker, awesome team player and competitor
In terms of expectations he could be the best news story of the year (as in I didn't have high ones for him at all).
The Hodge affect. Time learning from the General this year has it seems had an immense impact on Hardwicks development. Give him the number 15 guernsey next year and watch him do his utmost to do it proud.Does he wear 6 or 15 next year is the next big question?
