it maybe just me but on friday at jjb. i though cas looked to get around to pitch a little better when netherton was a hooker.

I'm not knocking Hudson cos he played well too but i did notice a difference

I have to agree that Netherton seems to get the ball out quicker from acting half back and has that little turn of pace. Two constrasting styles I suppose and good that we have good cover in this area.

This is why i would prefer KN with BS rather than RC IMO.

IMHO i think Hudson and Hendo have the same pace, both rather sluggish around the play the ball

However Ryan has a much better rugby brain and can see the opportunities that Hendo couldn't

Netherton has impressed me so far, his speed is something which i didn't realise he had, if he had Ryan's rugby brain he would be an awesome player. Hopefully he can learn from Ryan

I'm sure Hudson will eventually regain his old Cas form

But, at the minute, i feel your observation is 100% accurate

oh im sure he will too, always been a fan of hudsons as i was a fan of hendo. having this choice of a number of hookers will do us the world of good

one thing netherton does give us is the kicking game out of dummy half against quins and the goons he put in some belting kicks. give us variation i like it
