Hmm almost rather have Holland or cogger at hooker than marscke from the few games I saw of his last year.
Obviously when fit, jmk is my first choice but where's kotoa? Didn't we buy him as a depth hooker?
If it's just him left due to depth issues I don't blame the club for wrapping him in cotton wool by excluding him from a nothing tournament.
Perhaps saving him for the trials not to risk injury in the 9’s when we don’t have a lot of depth there right now?
Absolutely the right call in my opinion. I don't want to be without a single recognized hooker come round one and this is just avoiding murphies law in my opinion.
That young BBO fella sounds pretty mature for his age. Sounds a bit like Thurston too.
For someone who hasn’t watched him is he the goods?
Him and wakeham as future halves partners. A couple of years ago there was another young half we had that had massive raps on him then he fell off the face of the earth. Cant remember his name but
BBO looks to have some pace and footwork which gets fapped over these days. Not sure about the rest of his game. I've only seen highlights footage, so it's hard to tell. I think he's a few years away from debuting anyway. Will Kerr played some stints in a lower grade team in England and I hadn't heard much about him after that.
BBO only came over from Parra this year so I’m not sure too many know what he’s like. Hopefully we get a good look this weekend.
I think you’re thinking of Will Kerr he had massive wraps but through the towel in on his career to travel.
I never actually saw Kerr play, but from all reports he was pretty small and potentially this put a limit on how far he was going to go with his career. I have a cousin that was rated as the next big thing for Wests at hooker until it became clear that he wasn't going to get large enough to really hold his own in the NRL with the fact that even the little guys in the NRL are generally large units compared to most people. It's one of the downsides to the way the game has progressed over the years. You lose out on some very talented players because they're just a bit too small to face the behemoths that fill most rosters.

Hopefully BBO has a big weekend.
Thats him Will Kerr. Was wondering where he went. Cant blame a young dude wanting to travel but from all reports if he kept going he would be earning good money here
He was still playing in the lower grades in England. I read an article that mentioned him. I guess if he had the ability to progress he would have found his way into a Super League team while there. But for whatever reason he didn't really progress. Maybe he just hit his peak in the lower grades and others surpassed him. I know that quite a few people said he wasn't going to be big enough to make it into the NRL. But thats football these days. The 10 metre rule and unlimited interchange has meant that in so many cases, all the talent in the world doesn't go far if you are the size of a pimple compared to the guys who progress.
