Message: [QUOTE="Number6, post: 2973657, member: 9008"] Granville played well to become a premiership winning hooker. Macca is the Steven Bradbury of QLD hookers.... Agree let’s not get carried away with Turpin but he was sharp, fierce in defence and composed. Limited minutes but that’s all you need as a bench hooker. Problem is only 2 NRL games going into finals. As our backup hooker that for me is a plan to fail due to a failure of planning! Don’t see the sense in a 4 forward bench with the current availabilities. Mago doesn’t offer that much. Can get 50-60 quality minutes out of all our forwards except Sims and Macca to a certain degree. Sims has been good lately for 30-40. In a crunch McGuire and Glenn can play closer to 80. Also leaves us with no backs cover (Glenn isn’t fast enough for centres these days). Prefer to have some spark off the bench for hooker and a utility. Why we or at least Redcliffe haven’t given Staggs a good shot at bench hooker is madness (unless they tried him in training and he is terrible at hooker, which would be a shock by Broncos hooking standards of late). Failing that why not play Turpin on bench, Macca can cover lock if injuries to forwards. Won’t fix backs cover but Macca has barely been able to play 80 since his ACL anyway, if he had a severe concussion usually won’t be fitter for the experience for a while. [/QUOTE]
