Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3698799, member: 9853"] Promising kid, but I'd give him a bit longer in Cup. But along these lines, why not take this opportunity to debut the other youngster, Black, even if just to give him a taste? We have the luxury of a world class utility now who can take the pressure off the halves. The spine roles are going to get real blurry this season. 9. Hunt 6. Black 7. Reynolds 14. Paix/Walters/Smoothy Impossible for any of us to call the hooker pecking order right now. Mozer looked a clear cut above all the other prospects in his short stints last season, but he was far from perfect in effort, particularly defence. On paper, Billy should have seniority, and he can cover the halves if we're desperate (please, no), but that's not so important with the arrival of Hunt. And so can Paix, we just have no idea what he's like as a player these days. He stood out in the Cup enough to get the gong for his position. Like Smoothy previously. For what that's worth. I'm hoping Paix will win the 14 in Mozer's absence, simply because it will mean Madge thinks he's an upgrade on Walters. And if he's an upgrade on our hooker of the last three years, it means the team will be upgraded, and that's what we need. But if Madge picks Billy after watching him train all off season, we might not be in such great shape. We'll go forward with the status quo, which was pretty ordinary. Conversely, if he doesn't pick Billy it's not going to look great for Kevvie. And I'm sure he's not petty enough to do that for any other reason but merit. Mostly I'm just dissappointed Mozer will be out for at least the short term, and if he doesn't have surgery, he's going to be playing through pain. It's a real dampener on the start to the season.
