Hooker stocks remaining year and next.

[OzLuke]

Out of that list I like Baptiste....Segeyaro is too flighty and would be expensive for what we would want to pay

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Unfortunately he’s destined to never live up to potential. We’re now looking at 2021 at the earliest to seeing him injury free with a strong pre season behimd him. That will be 5 years after his debut. I know we’re committed to him for the next two years, but we need to start thinking soon about cutting our losses.

@GNR4LIFE our only option is to have a stop gap solution in someone like Api Koroisau until Simpkin is ready I reckon.

I think that’s probably the way to go

Have this nagging feeling that we'll be seeing mbye at nine next season. But, Agee with the Api suggestion.

Isaac Luke for a year. Simpkins can cover and take over if good enough

 

[Tigerdave]

Feel sorry for the kid and the club. I don't know, sometimes it feels like someone smashed several mirrors over a black cat whilst standing under a ladder with this club.

Can we take Cameron Smith's DNA and make a younger clone??

 

[Madge]

@WT2K I have that gut feeling as well. With the emergence of Talau, it looks Likely that we might settle on Mbye as hooker.

I think regardless of what the club said, Simpkin was their long term plan anyway, this will just fast forward the move

No one thinks Andrew McCullough wouldn't be worth a serious look at

He doesn't get injured earlier this year and he is Qld hooker ....

Will want to much. We could match his minimum contract at the broncos, but not the bottomless 3rd party pit

Josh Reynolds will be withdrawn from Canterbury Cup on Sunday as the Wests Tigers turn to him following the season-ending injury to Jacob Liddle.

Poor old Grub is not a hooker, I hope they don't try make him one

 

[Viking Warrior]

Sheesh that was a freak injury to the poor guy, wish Robson was part of the 30 man squad.. The guy deserves a chance imo

 

[CarltonDry]

@Tigerstar he’s in a knee brace too

Grub and ET sharing the duties is my guess. Neither are nines but we haven't got any options left. Hopefully he can get through the three remaining games.

 

[Don Kershane]

@851 He obviously can't be a defensive hooker like Farah doing 50 tackles so why not let him play dummy half and then move him to a less critical position when defending.Depends on lineup of course.

@WT2K I have that gut feeling as well. With the emergence of Talau, it looks Likely that we might settle on Mbye as hooker.

Thats the way to go and not so expensive. Mbye has a great passing game, much better than say Taylor.

 

[TIGER]

Think our best option this week is to have Reynolds starting at 9 with Taylor on the bench. Maguire will probably (when Moey is available) have moses play the at 9 and Reynolds coming off the bench for the rest of the year.

Reynolds would last 18mins at 9 Max and he'd be out on his feet

 

[BalmainJnr]

Off contract nines - Kurt Baptiste, Billy Brittain, Sione Katoa, Michael Lichaa, Issac Luke, Matt McIlwrick, James Segeyaro, Zac Woolford

Think I heard the other day that Segeyaro was re-signing with the Donkeys on a 2 year deal. No idea if they will bother registering this one though.
