Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3464179, member: 9052"] I think prior to Vlando rules you could get away with less hooking depth, because it was easier to have hookers going 80mins under the slower version of the game... but nowadays there are so few 80mins hookers that every team basically needs to carry someone that can play some dummy half off the bench. That's why the utility lock forward has become so important. Teams will either turn a 'robust' spine player into a lock/hooker (Connor Watson, etc.) or turn a hooker into a lock (BSmith, Havili, Erin Clark, Mitch Kenny, etc.). For business as usual they can play some middle forward off the bench (i.e. small lock forward) OR be a makeshift spine player for emergency situations. In that way you have an extra middle for the current most demanding position on the field and a back-up hooker who can fill in for the current guy that can't quite get to 80mins anymore. If Kobe could pass off the ground he could be our back up hooker on the bench allowing us to carry another forward, utility, etc.... we'd just need someone that can get through 60-65 quality minutes of hooker to be the main man, and when he needs a break Kobe comes on to shuffle it out of dummy half, but otherwise plays middle forward.
