Hooker: your thoughts?

[kh_canada]

We have a selection of specialist hookers available in Pat and Iosefa and we also have utility value of Humble.
I would put Humble or Pat there and the other as 14\. Keeping Fults at 6 (cause we know Sheens won't play Moltzen there)
And I don't think moving Fults to 9 will help us.

Ah just name Liam at centre, 5/8, back row, hooker and all 4 bench spots and be done with it…

Based on past experiences you'd think Iosefa and Humble would split the job but with Coach Sheens who knows?

 

[Demps]

9\. Iosefa

14\. Pat

I know Tiger watto likes Politini, I havent seen enough of him i guess, but Iosefa brings something to the table, something simple like a spark. Thats why i give him my vote.

 

[tiga4eva]

Leave Liam where he is, or Benj gets his 9th halves partner. I'm not fussed whether it's Iosefa or Iosefa/Humble or Politoni. Just don't make 4-5 positional switches for 1 injury Sheenius.

Iosefa is probably the worst defender in the club and the only game plan Brian Smith gets right is the one against our mob. Massive forwards usually hitting just on the edges with lanky backrowers running great lines. We need all defenders on deck although I would not play Fulton at dummy half. I would go for Humble and maybe Iosefa on the bench to run them ragged as their big men tire, but in the early encounters of each half we need sure defenders

I think Humble has shown more at hooker than either of the other guys. Always plays very up tempo, is pretty quick out of dummy half and defends pretty well for a smaller bloke. I think he's our best option.

Humble for mine. He is more mobile and a tenacious defender. He's a player playing for a future and tries to make the most of the limited opportunities given to him. He doesn't mind playing hard and getting stuck in.

 

[kh_canada]

I have never been a Humble fan, and I think he is the safest option. Offers more than the other 2 at this stage. That's not to say Pat could be a future in NRL. But right now Humble is our guy.

 

[TigerFlame]

I would put Pat and give him some more first grade experience.

 

[system]

It will be Fulton with Rowdy at 6 and Masada on the bench

I agree with this option, a good idea not to mess with the team too much, assuming we are only filling the one spot. :rant

 

[innsaneink]

Need someone that can tackle….chooks forwards are big and fast

 

[tig_prmz]

6\. rowdy (or any good defender on the fringes really, if rowdy is not fit, then maybe humble)
9\. fulton
14\. masada

defense around the ruck will be the key… we can score points via marshall marika and moltzen.

Humble, Politini & Simona named for BRET
