Is Pritchard being groomed as our 80minute hooker?

With the selections for this weekend now available, understandably De Goose and Nelson are out for rehab so there is two 9 spots to fill and only two 9's (King and Pritchard) to fill them.. But I think it's interesting, we were picking King to be up there, but he's found himself in Wenty for this trial. Other than maybe Edwards, there is no hooker replacement on our bench, so I pose this question, is Kaysa potentially being trialled as our 80minute hooker solution? Or is this just interim until De Goose is back and ready to play?

  • Nathan Brown can play a little bit of hooker he did in the 9's

    If Dargan has a blinder he could be a smokey for round one
    • Can Dargan kick goals?
    • Yes he can
  • The way Pritchard plays he will never be an 80 minute player
    • Seems that he has been finally given his chance at an 80 minute game, rather than the small minutes of the past, the hope is that he will be injury free possibly for the first time in his career.  Having not seen King except for some glimpses in the 9's how are we comparing him to Pritchard? 

      King has been as injury bound as Pritchard in the past and because he played games at 7 for wenty last year makes him a top liner, or was it the DT article?  Some TCT reports have had him training well but so has Pritchard who also looks the fittest he's been yet.

      Or is it that he might actually be an eels junior and we don't want them to be a success, at least the way some critics have it.

      Why not see how he goes on Saturday and give support to the team as a whole!!!???

  • can i ask the need to call one of our very loyal and hardest working players "DE GOOSE"??? its an insult to a player that has given the club no troubles at all and trains his ass off and is a great clubman.

    i get calling other teams players names, all's fair in war. 

    • Good call
    • Agreed, especially because DeGoise has been a no-hassles worker-bee. Hardly a goose!
    • x3!
    • If it makes it any better, it was actually my phone auto correcting it to Goose - it's either that or house.
