It’s Red Alert for Parramatta in the hooking department this week, with both Kaysa Pritchard (knee) and Isaac de Gois (concussion) unlikely to feature this season.
The Eels look set to rely upon reserve grade utility Cameron King – who has played extremely limited NRL thanks to an absurd run of injury over the past five-and-a-half years.
But there could be a left field solution. Before Pritchard’s injury on the weekend, Parramatta was considering whether to chase Bulldogs rake Michael Lichaa for next year.
Those discussions could be expedited should the Eels coaching staff decide King needs a hand in the middle.

The big question is whether Canterbury would grant the release, given its slim depth at No. 9.

Rooster dork!!
This could be on the cards, especially 2018
The whispers keep getting louder and gathering momentum !!
hope not as he offers nothing. Sharks got ridof him as he is useless and has done nothing at dogs. A big no to himH
I like him I hope we get now for 2017
I reckon fLicka has about as much to offer as KP and IDG (combined) give us NOW!
What is so wrong with continuing with Smith? He is doing a pretty fair job so far and the ONLY hooker we have had since Piggy who kicks from the play the ball.
