I agree that hooker is important, i remember when ennis was injured how bad we were and how bad garvey was in our other loss this year.

But im happy to give lichaa the benefit of the doubt. Wet slippery conditions when you are coming back from a leg injury would have been difficult. Between the conditions, raiders defence and his heavily strapped leg im not shocked he couldn't run

BTW is it true that Lichaa is related to Ray Dib?

There are rumours going around suggesting that is part of the reason Cook was let go so easily

Maybe. Garvey did show improvement but Lichaa's service was still far better then Garvey's had been
It was a shit track, the forwards were extra soft and he was rushed back 2 weeks early, he could of easily re-injured himself.

For sure. But I think it would have been worse if he wasn't there

No one is blaming him. He's a shit hooker though. He has never played a good game, fact

Reynolds is the perfect dummy half, any time he gets in there during the game he gets us going forward, get wish we could give him a run there fulltime and see how we roll

When Lichaa first came to us he was getting out of the ruck and looking for players to hit up on him, even trying to run a little bit. Im not sure if it is loss of confidence from his injuries or he has been instructed by the coaching staff but now he just seems to just get to half and pass, doesn't threaten the markers or try to get in behind the ruck for quick play... I really hope he hasn't lost that part of his game. At Cronulla and even the first couple of games for us, he seemed like he could be a threatening dummy half runner, he seems to have lost that somewhat. Des hasn't been known to have dynamic hookers - Matt Ballin was a stand and pass guy, look how Ennis played for us and now he seems to be doing this to Lichaa...

It's like with every other player they are ordered by des .
Des had killed our attack and has killed lichaa in the making.
