Hooker merry-go-round

So apparently cowboys offered us Reece Robson for early release Luciano and we've said an initial no

But if we can get papalii early and send Liddle to Parra, Robson would be a great option

Nanai or luki could be good too.. but both still pretty raw
 
Robson is definitely decent.

Had big wraps coming through the grades at the dragons.

He's probably slightly better than Liddle.
I think passing on the offer was the right thing to do though.

Liddle is a far better hooker than Robson. If we wanted Robson, we should have kept his brother.
 
If a top shelf hooker was on the market , we should go for them. If its a mid range hooker I wouldn’t see the position as a priority. Simpkin will start to get more and more game time at NRL level.

He’ll be on the bench next season if not starting as Liddle can’t play 80 minutes
 
Liddle isnt needed by Eels next year though as Mahoney still there till 2023 so taking Robson for 2022 means having 3 hookers and not strengthening any area of greater need.

I think you’re a bit blinded by a few long range tries Paws. A hooker isn’t meant to have a highlights package. See Cam Smith.

Is that Braedon?
Are they bros?
 
Hookers definitely go on the merry go round with different guys lol

Seriously though would Parra want Liddle? He is not really a proven performer.

I'm All in on Simpkin.

Has the Skills an the attitude, Now he needs the game time

I'm on board with this also.
So much star quality.
 
Yep Simpkin for me , Robbies with us he can stay on him and educate , and another second rower I would not be chasing we got plenty good ones coming on , Garner , Tuki , Alex , Blore and co , we need to go for a solid centre and if need be a prop like Thompson
