It's so disgusting seeing ennis in that jersey... Argh it just feels sooo wrong. Hopefully we are not in for a 2013 season repeat...

Reynolds is not a hooker.

His defence is not up to scratch.

I'd be VERY surprised if Lichaa plays as an 80min Dummy-Half next year.

I watched his games closely this year and he has got A LOT of work to do to fitness-wise. One good off-season under his belt isn't going to be enough to be honest.

There's a lot of people in denial about our Dummy-Half situation for 2015. We're in big trouble in my opinion. Below are the bottom 7 sides this year:

- Eels
- Dragons
- Knights
- Tigers
- Titans
- Raiders
- Sharks

Other than the Tigers what do all the above teams have in common? They have shit Dummy-Halfs. It shows how important the Dummy-Half is to the modern game now. You only have to see how Manly went once Matt Ballin was out of the picture.

Peats and J.Hodgson are guns. but i do agree to an extent.

Last time I checked Robbie farah was the origin dummy half also...

He won't be smiling after he plays a few games with the rabble.

I'm a bit surprised that some people are questioning the potential of Michael Lichaa. He's played well this year in a totally dysfunctional team. He was punted to reserve grade for having the hide to sign with the Bulldogs. He's a great athlete and with the proper coaching and tutelage, he will be a very good player. He will be an 80 minute player without question.

I'd be happy with M'bye being a regular at hooker.

Souths done it well last season with two hookers.

we have the best most promising young hooker in the NRL.

Peats was out for most the year.

Yes it is rather depressing.
Michael Lichaa will need a bit of time to develop his full fitness for first grade and will take a while to fit in with our playing style. Damien Cook or Moses will be in the rotation, not really much else except Robbie Kamoto from the U20's if he is still with us.

Robbie kamoto lol it made me start singing Mr roboto

 

[MatstaDogg]

Come on everybody Mr Roboto

 

[Mitch Connor]

Shocked we didn't get Kaysa Pritchard tbh.

 

[Raikkonen]

I would imagine Des will be training Lichaa to be an 80 minute hooker.

We all know he likes 4 forwards on the bench.

He doesn't want to play with frank and wants to make a name for himself instead of being in Franks shadow.

 

[Nano]

Lol he doesn't want help and a good start at a good club because he thinks Tank will over shadow him?

Thats just silly, his uncle would only be trying to help him improve and etc...

 

[blueyedsamurai]

He doesn't want to play with frank and wants to make a name for himself instead of being in Franks shadow.

kind of silly considering how many big named brothers have played for the same club. If he is good, he would get attention regardless.

 

[Izzy Forreal]

Thats fantastic lol.. but the question is:

How many minutes will licha be able to play and if not 80, who helps cover?

At a guess I'd say he'll do just what Des tells him to do.

 

[Phalangist]

One of the many reasons why we should've kept Ennis. So he can help liccha transition to the starting hooker role and get some experience by rotating with him through out the match. I feel for the young bloke.

Again the club wanted this and offered him a one year extension but he rejected the offer so I think the club made the right move

 

[sultanofsydney]

Pumipi been let go by dragons so question is is he better than cook
