Holland is a Hooker also. Not the best but if JMK goes down throw him in. Fuck wasting money on that list.
Not like we are gunning for the premiership next year.
Go all out for 2021, no use wasting money on someone for 2-3 years when it’s not what we need. Plan for the future.
Failing that I’m sure we could promote or snare a Q cup or C Cup standout for back up. There’s a few handy Hookers in QCup that could step up as back up if needed
Ridiculous that we can't find a decent hooker from NRL, both CCup and Qld Intrust or Super League for the past 3 years at least!

Harry Grant's the one, if he isn't the Hooker the club is targeting for 2021 then that'd do me. We'd have to offer him a big contract (similar to Ponga, but on a lesser degree) to get him here tho.

Problem is all the powerhouse (Rorting)clubs are signing them, Storm/Roosters/Broncos all have 3-4 quality halves and hookers as backup leaving not a lot to choose from.

This is the outcome of Greenberg's brilliant plan of top 30 squads and will perpetuate the top clubs staying on top .
Clubs struggling can't unearth talent during the season and any young player looking half decent will be taken and out in the top clubs top 30 as these youngsters gravitate to those clubs as they get pissed not getting opportunities at their bottom of the rung clubs

In a choice between Levi and a roll of duct tape, I’ll take the tape every time

Why doesn't recruitment fly over to the islands and scout some talent there IE Fiji and PNG?

Plenty of big, strong and fast players which can be fine tuned here.

Well he gets an extra 100k and let's face it, Panthers are expected to do better then us in the short term.
Rubbish. Penrith are on the slide. Look at their roster this year. What a disappointment they turned to be. Dogs are obviously on the up

Agree with that. Maloney leaving next year is gonna have a massive impact on Penrith. They have a couple of great young hookers so signing Api really doesn't make sense.

Oh well.

It does if one is on the outer. And it's something for the Bulldogs to explore. Rather grab two young guys and have them fight it out, than spend big money on Api. Or see if we can get Reynolds off the Tigers for cheap as he has been playing very well at the Tigers at hooker. And a young guy to complement him.

I just don’t think we had a contingency plan to that level which isn’t surprising lol
