Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3464176, member: 9853"] You really need 4 dummy half/hookers to get through a season (9 & 14), particularly if none can play close to 80 minutes. Because they're relatively small, yet are asked to defend so much, they inevitably get hurt. We're not so much fucked at hooker but locked into a holding pattern until Blake Mozer matures into Cam Smith II, if that indeed ever happens. And at that point the coach is faced with the elephant we know he'd rather not acknowledge is shitting in the room. Our 9 depth is so ropy we can't even differentiate between our starting 9 and a bench utility, because they both end up playing about a half each. But here goes: Top Tier Walters: Makeshift. Fringe NRL standard. Unremarkable, but enthusiastic. Yet to learn position. Conflict. Paix: Makeshift. Fringe NRL standard. Unremarkable, but flashes of class. Questions about endurance, defence. Second Tier Smoothy: Development. Genuine hooker. QCup standout. Fringe NRL standard. Madden: Makeshift. Green, but promising. Fringe NRL standard. Rising star. Horne: Train & trial. Solid QCup standard. Mozer: Genuine hooker. Barely QCup standard, but rising star. Reject Turpin: Solid NRL standard (some will differ). Outstanding defender. Unremarkable attack. [/QUOTE]
