Why Hardaker's looking forward to big clash

PROFESSIONAL sport peaks at big events: a chance to shine on the big stage in front of a big crowd. There's no surprise then that Hull FC star Zak Hardaker is looking forward to Super League's Magic Weekend.

Played at Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium in 2026, the competition will break new ground on Merseyside at one of the best new venues in Europe, arguably the world.

For Hardaker, who has won it all in his career and featured on the biggest stage, it's another chance for rugby league's 'x-factor' stars to stand up, and in his own case, play at another big rugby league event against a big opponent in Hull KR.
