Weird as I am certainly warming up to JMK as a bulldog and a hooker but to have a genuine hooker at the club with an all round game letting JMK become a valuable utility option is certainly a plus for us. Api dayzzz!

Rotation is the key. JMK learning from him will also be important. He offers another option in attack.

Hooker is a position we must address going into the 2020 season.

Api and jmk would and should provide a potent hooker 1, 2 punch in the hooking role

Well if he signs with us he get's my benefit of the doubt and hopefully gets a great pre-season and is 100% for 2020. Watching him the other night I liked his vision of when to take a dart from dummy half. I assume him and JMK will share the spot for a little to see what's what.

Api is better than them. But two years would have been better for the club and I hope it wasnt for more than 450k max considering his injury woes.

JMK has been solid enough and keeps improving. At this point, I'd rather the club sat tight until Grant or some other young hookers became available in the offseason next year.

I used to really rate Api but it seems injuries have slowed him down massively. Seeing as we're signing him we all hope he can stay healthy but we may have to prepare for JMK starting lots of games next season if Api keeps picking up injuries.
There’s a risk with injury but on the other hand it could work out really well for us. We could use Api and JMK is a similar way Manly use Api with Fainu.

Grant wasn’t coming for next year so we needed to find a solution either way. It’s probably the best we have looked at hooker for sometime.

Am I the only one on here that thinks this bloke is bog average ?
Why would Hitler get rid of him if he was that good ?
Is he worth the risk knowing his injury problems ?
My mail is...We are after a young QLD hooker :tonguewink: ?
