"But if we are relying on 3 Hookers aged 23, 21 and 19 then that is worrying. Need bit more experience or older Hooker as 3rd string."

"Sorry I meant out and out hooker. Not a fan of weakening a spot to strengthen another which is what will happen if we move Hopgood and Papalii there.
Plus it means we are relying Papalii to be our first choice back up for fullback, half and hooker.…"

"I assume Coinakis will be moved into NSW Cup at some point during the season. But there is no real old head to develop his game. Plus when he does move up he wont be able to play the full 80min. So will still need another hooker in the team. You may…"

"Match fitness and aeorobic are two completely different things. Go watch last year and he was out on his feet. He never played 80min from memory. His strength is how much energy he puts into his linespeed, kick pressure, etc. So it is very draining…"

"Bless you my son! but you have sinned?
10 Hail Mary's and a sitting on Carlo's knee and you never know, you could end up being priestly!
NB You do realise that Moses, Isaiah and Joshua were Jew's don't you Randolph, that means you can change your…"

"I doubt Meni Luke is our third string hooker. Papalii and Hopgood have both played there in first grade. Luke hasn't."

"On SEN Radio, Frank Ponissi, Storm's GM, says “the vast majority of people are disappointed it’s going to court” and the Storm “would love Zac.”
I wonder if that's based on a public interest survey or just a vibe.
He engages both equity limbs of the…"

"Hopgood wood stand out in any position, the dummy half role is the key difference and he has more ball distribution skills than most of our forwards. It should be the least of our problems, buy a second stringer and you sacrifice the opportunities…"

"Thanks for the write up. Much appreciated. "

"What makes you think Ryley Smith is not an 80 minutes hooker, I would think with the proliferation of good young forwards we have many "potential hookers" if we need them. Ryley has probably the highest aeorobic fitness of anyone in the club, if he…"

"That's the only real thing that's missing is the ability to attract and replace with reciprocal talent.
The off field opportunities TPAs and alike we have to up that to compete with the best.
Transference are our systems good enough to produce…"

"Ha, mate I reckon we missed the part pies etc. No issue - just went home hungry!
I feel the club are definitely saying ' we won't be trodden on' in reference to Lomax issues. They basically want their cut of it all and its how Easts etc would be.
I…"

"Great read Lurker. Appreciate the effort and also the others who also contributed.The season is around the corner and the excitement is building nicely."

"27 and beyond they will be with Coinakis coming through. Its more of a 26 issue for me."

"Yes I know the young hookers coming through the pathways but they are in Jersey Flegg and SG Ball, not even NSW Cup. T
The versatile players JR is reffering to would be Papalii and Hopgood based on the fact they played a bit of 9 last year. Hooker…"
