Biography
Easts fullback was graded as an 18-year-old and made his debut for NSW the following year. Hardy represented Australia in the three Test series against England in 1928, making his debut as a centre in the First Test. The same year he played in Easts' loss to Souths in the premiership final and later went on to play for Warrington (1931-32) and captain-coach Cessnock (1935). His grandson Steve Hardy, a Cronulla junior in RU, captained Australian Schoolboys on their unbeaten tour of Great Britain in 1979.
