Don`t Forget

Posted by Robert Lloyd on January 13, 2016 at 6:28pm

In considering hookers for 2016 don`t forget Cody Nelson. He had one NRL game in 2015 and was outstanding in our win over St George at our home ground. Did about 50 tackles and gave outstanding service from dummy half in what I thought was our beat win of 2015. Our forwards had some great set of sixes in that game due to Cody`s excellent service. He did not get selected again due to the 2nd tier schmozzle.I rate IDG highly but he would not have matched what Nelson did that night.

Nelson would be a good utility player for us and I wouldn't be to upset to see him in the 14 jersey instead of another hooker as he can play a variety of positions . Having said that I'd still start all of our other 4 hookers in front of him in the starting side.

based on recent seasons, it wouldn't be too surprising if that happened.

Very underrated player, I hope he gets a go. Top bloke

He also made the team of the week as well on debut

He should be considered for a bench spot. He's big enough to play in the middle and is obviously versatile.

Hi Brett, it highlights just how tough Smith, Ennis & Farah must be. They have been at it for yonks with little down time.
