We definitely need a new hooker next season and beyond, but if we dont sign a hooker for next season, do we think katoa can handle it full time?
I think hes been going pretty good the last few weeks and under trent barrett he may improve and become a better player. In saying that i hope we find someone

Hes not good enough, we need someone better.

But hes far better than anything else we have at the club.

Our go forward fell apart when jmk came on

His passing left to righr is poor.
Basic skill for a 9 one would think.
Going ok but we should have the $$$$ to get a good 9 & 7 for next season.

Barrett brought api to panthers and katoa left. Has he had the new coach phone call yet?
Wonder if Barrett rates him this time round.

Sione Katoa played very well against Melbourne. I am impressed as well with his work in the previous weeks. Should be in line for a bench utility spot. JMK is done

He is strong fast and hard to tackle. He may develop well with a good coach and a hooker specialist coach.

People may think I'm crazy but I'd take Starling over the cheese when it comes to all round hooker play. I think B.Smith should play lock but certainly won't be upset if we sign him. But yeah based on who's off contract and not having players break contracts Starling has to be priority #1

I like Katao at lock, he's better than Thompson.
