Message: [QUOTE="Anonymous person, post: 2280583, member: 2115"] the thing is, Hooker has ALWAYS been an 80 minute position - its not something new. the only reason teams should be replacing their hooker is if they have 2 quality hookers, like QUEENSLANDER said. i never understood why Bennett would replace our hooker (well i did - senility) when all it does is disrupt the team. NSW did this time and time again, and it NEVER worked for them. theyd replace Buderus, and just crumble. QLD on the other hand has Smith for the entire match. look back to 5 years ago and no teams had 2 hookers. it was just something stupid that a few coaches did when they saw one coach having success with it, despite him only having success with it because he had 2 genuinely first class hookers. Tim Smith is a potentially huge loss. we all know he can be an absolutely brilliant player, and can lead a team around the park with the best of them. personally i wouldve been happy to rest wallace and see how smith could go with us. as good as wallace is, hes NEVER going to be a game-breaker. he just isnt the type of player. he can shuffle the ball to the right person, hes got an above-average kicking game, but he will never be anything more than a 'good' halfback.
