  Reed must feel hard done by

    Lol, he probably does , but hey , it seems a makeshift Hooker is still a better backup option than Reed "the top 3 hookers in the comp " Mahoney .  I'll have to find last years threads wheras I was called an idiot for claiming Hunt will still beat Mahoney for origin injuries allowing.  
    
    

    I'm sure the Reed fan club will call for my hanging , but I'm comfortable sharing the same opinion as a few QLD greats.

      Hunt covers the backs

        I get that, hence why I tried to explain to the Reed fan club last year that he will never play origin barring injuries . He's simply not good enough to unseat Grant and Hunt.  Hopefully this will be the end of his " origin Hooker " tag when people are staking their claims on Reeds value for a while.

    Reed never had the defense for origin.  Always dominate as he was yesterday. Also his running game is nothing special. His support play has picked up eating up mattos offloads

      He's simply nowhere near good enough to demand selection. Grants been bog average and still gets the jump on him. Ben Hunt will get plenty of game time at Hooker .

        Grant has a running game and not much else. If Hunt wasn't there to shelter him than Reed would be the better option with a more all rounded game

      If you bag Reeds defence  then you must not have watched much of Grant chief

    Agree. He's been far better than Grant
