Best hooker in our top 25 - excluding KP and CK

Gutherson, Scott, Brown, Taka have all been suggested.Which top 25 player would be our best option at 9 - specialist hookers excluded.Do they need to be short and quickDo they need to be strong and able to dominate the ruckDo they need to be able to count? I mean it's 50:50 choice anyway and even a broken clock is right twice a dayWhat about Mau, Mannah or Matagi or Terepo?

  • Robson.  Strong one on one defender, has experience playing hooker at NRL (with our club and other clubs), can kick from dummy half and will give clean, quick, good ball off the deck.  Yes, he lacks a running game out of dummy half but so does IDG, Kaysa and King.  Robson is the 4th best option.  Edwards to share the role with Robson (60 minutes Robson; 20 minutes Edwards).     

    • Injured. Moving on.
    • Not to mention too slow
    • Case well made.

  • Obviously Gutherson. Probably a top 3 hooker in the NRL.

  • I reckon Fogarty would do well at 9. I think I'm on my own there though.
    • Fogarty is very quick and has a good passing game. It's time to give him a go I think.

    • And he kicks goals!
    • How does he go leading from the front in d and dictating/controlling the line speed?
  • I agree Hamish I think gutho would do well at hooker

"How is it a lie? We take up his option in the top 30 and then the coach plays him where it best suits the squad? If that's reserve grade perfect.  If its not then it means that Doorey, Moretti, Brown etc haven't kicked on the way we'd hope. Plenty…"

"Would love to see Barnett at the Eels.
He's the closest player defensively to Beau Scott in the current game (imo), and those players are so few are far between.
They are so valuable to the defensive line & structure.
Obviously would be preferable…"

Ryles won't keep De Belin to be in Reggie's. He won't play Reggie's. He would either retire or try to get another deal. I love this idea of it's…"
