Hooker for 2018

Posted by normos on June 6, 2017 at 12:23pm

Although Kaysa is a gun and has been one of our best in recent weeks, i dont see him as a premiership winning starting hooker. Move him to the bench and sign a hooker like nathan peats (even though we pulled our offer for him off the table). I do realise there is limited options for the hooker role but i think parramatta misses kaysa's energy off the bench.thoughts?

  30ish nrl games at 22 years old, I agree developing well. I think he has good potential. No doubt this year he was suppose to support IDG, but he's been given the starting hooker position due to injury and I think he's doing great

Peats has re signed with the tits. Time to move on i think ot will be kaysa and smith sharing the role with possibly gutho transitioning into the postion

Kaysa has started 13 games now... Maybe give him time he showed what he can do against Souths. Helped him knowing Will Smith was coming on to give him a rest...

Peats is set to re sign with gold coast. Pritchard is only good for short stints. He cant handle playing the full 80.

Pritchard is injury prone every 2nd game or so. We need a strong consistent hooker that plays the full 80
