Nasheed here,
This is current hooking rankings in the world.
1 Cook
2 Hodgson
3 Clark
4 Grant
5 Api
6 Hunt
7 Roby
8 Nth QLD guy
9 Reed Mahoney
10

As you can see, he is a great on the rise, but he still has a way to go to be the best, let alone all time.

1. Cook
2. Koroisau
3. Grant (will be #1 by end of the year)
4. Hodgson
The rest

Clark would be below someone like Mahoney. Unproven in the NRL.

I believe at seasons end the conversation will be who is better? cook or Grant?

They are both good players for different reasons.
One has amazing physical traits and the other is Cam smithlike.

On the balance, youll go for the kid ten years younger I guess.
But if you had to sign one for a year... interesting Q. Might be threadworthy in that alone.

Worth 1.3 easily.
Best young talent I’ve seen for a while.

C Smith though, the great player I’ve ever seen
Johns is, because he had Cams head with tackle busting strength and better defence.

Is any player worth 1.3 mil? They are all organic creatures susceptible to serious injury.

I wouldnt pay anyone north of a mil.

True re injuries, however unfortunately you need your game breakers or you end up with plodderthons and DWZ’s....

I was on the Grant hype train before he debuted. And we missed our chance to sign him before he went to the Tigers.. Now he'll cost a fortune.. Whatever we could offer, the Broncos and new Brisbane team would offer more plus he's from Queensland. So I can only see him staying at Melbourne or going to those two teams.. Not to mention he's off contract in 2023. We need a hooker before then!

He's also had several knee/leg injuries that have made him miss 4-6 weeks last season and already this season which make you worry about his durability for an investment that size..

Considering Daryl Clark is a top 5-10 hooker in Rugby League and could be another Cook like player in the NRL and he'd cost 500-600k, he should be the one we pursue and go all out for..

Only thang with Daryl Clark is he isn’t off the mark quick like cook, but he is legit as fast as JAC. I’m not joking. I’m sure I posted an article a year back saying he was one of the fastest rugby msyersi k the worlds scores all codes and a sub 11 second 100m runner.

NSW going to have nightmares for years to come
The spine for QLD for the future has the potential to be as dominant as Slater, Thurston, Cronk and Smith..

1: Ponga
6: Munster
7: Walker
9: Grant

At least NSW have Teddy/Sualli/Latrell, Burton, Cleary and Cook..

This is another reason why V’landys doesn't need to touch Origin and ruin International footy by letting Lolo etc play
