Hooker position - Thread

If there not going to get a hooker from outside, possibly they should consider Braden Robson. He always impresses when he comes on and plays hooker. He can also play any position in the backline.

I think Ivan is looking at it with Liddle out there is room for one of the below.

**Reynolds** v **Killer** v **Pita**

None have shown they can give quality service for 80 minutes which is not surprising.

And Reynolds wins because he offers more in attack and <big>**ENERGY**</big>.

Hopefully we get 60 minutes from Reynols this week and Liddle plays a good game in ISP.

Ill add one more
**Reynolds** v **Killer** v **Pita** v **Marshall**
To me Marshall upgrades the 9 so much more then Pita. He can do everything that Pita can and I reckon his body has adjusted to the knocks of league a little better.

Reynolds, Unless he actually trains there and really gives it a go I don't think he can take the position. We hired him as an energetic gritty 5/8 who can't really pass. At hooker he has the energy for it (Except he doesn't from our experience of him playing there) But we don't want a hooker who can't get the ball to Brooks or the 5/8.

There are some Great running Hookers, Farah would have to be one of the best running hookers. Clearly our record against Melbourne has benefited because Farah could take on Smith (not equal him, but take him on). Damien Cook has that great grit to him and that running game with a great pass.

If were not going to put Marshall at 9, and we should even if he goes there from the Bench. Then we need to teach Killer how to pass. He is our only option.

Reynolds was just on the news talking about playing hooker, he said " People think I have played a lot of hooker and know the position", he said " That is not true, I don't know the position at all".
All the more reason to get him to six ASAP, plus Benji has gone back to old Benji 6 weeks ago and is holding us back :angry:

Yep
 
I thought this position might come back and bite us. Throwing all your eggs into Liddle was not the answer until his body is NRL ready and can handle the weekly rigors or NRL.
Therefore the below would be ideal:
* Matt Parcels (Leeds) has had 2 great seasons with Leeds and playing week in footy with a decent side. Good explosive power from DH and decent defender. Very fit and plays long minutes
* Adam Milner (Castleford) - stocky young hooker who can play lock. Very tough player, hard defender
* Kurt Baptiste - quick out of DH, decent defender, not having much game time with Rorters
*Danny Levi - once again good speed off the mark, eyes up player. I think he is actually decent player that would not break the bank and is an upgrade to Matt McIlwrick who is out of favor and Pita Godinet who is just a terrible player and a poor signing.

He said it with a smile on his face, and also said he’s enjoying the role.
 
Bad decision playing Reynolds at hooker ,Marshall is struggling and there is no attack …Reynolds needs to be at 5/8 as soon as possible. Liddle is not ready bit the bullet and play MM there at least that is his position....Reynolds at hooker is a dumb move.

His energy helped us win the first game he came back and we lost the 2nd game by 2 points. Yep it was a really dumb move :crazy

Emma lawrence said that we do not want to rush liddle back to first grade and Elijah will player hooker until liddle can show he can handle 80 minutes.
 
Emma Lawrence just said during Wests live game coverage, ET will play hooker until Liddle can play 80 minutes
