Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3464183, member: 9052"] I think he filled in a couple times over the last 1-2 years, but not well enough to cover that position for 40mins every week... which is what our hookers require because they haven't really shown they can get through 60 quality minutes. When the bench hooker / utility has to play 40mins at hooker every week, then that's their primary role for the team each week... versus having to give the main hooker a breather for 15-20mins. If your hooker only needs a 15min break (like Api, Cook, Harry, etc.) then you need to find another role for that back up hooker to do in the team or basically be prepared to play with 16 every week. - Havili played as a middle generating quick play the balls - BSmith played the same role, but also played 30mins or so at hooker because he's very effective at both - Mitch Kenny bulked up to play some lock forward in order to have a role in the team... I'd say that versatility now means Soni Luke may have surpassed him as the main hooker instead of Kenny being the understudy to Api For our sake we need to hope that Mozer, Paix, etc. somehow turns into a primary hooker that can play 60 minutes each week... and then we just need a Kobe or similar to fill in the rest of the minutes.
