That's a pretty limiting approach though too as I'd always encouraged the hooker to play with his head up, if the ruck is won and the markers and As/Bs are late retreating or not set you jump out and get at that space, if they are set move the ball quickly and accurately to first receiver, it's pretty straight forward really Rugby League. That's where we are limited at the minute as you want your smartest player playing at 9 for me their decision making is central to everything and the best teams play that way, everything comes off your 9.

I do agree about the hooker position, Im not a fan of of one dimensional hookers, they need to be smart and know when to run and when to pass.

Interesting and not surprisingly the Hull fans that were praising the Dwyer signing are glad he’s leaving!

I just want a hooker that gets us moving.
Crisp distribution, more than two brain cells and offer something in attack

We’ve already got him, Corey Johnson, but our coach will not play him at Hooker for long enough.

Just watched the Knights game. Miller was quiet, but ran the ball back hard and nearly made a couple of breaks. Got sinbinned near the end which was a bit of a nonsense. Interestingly after the game Johns credited Brian McDermott with toughening up the Knights defence. I can see he would be good at that.

Cameron Smith let a few fans know his feelings towards Nene MacDonald after the game and also said he won’t be back at the club.

His words exactly to the Nene MacDonald flag ‘burn it or bin it, or I will for you, he won’t be back here’

Signs a new contract part way through the first year and then isn’t coming back? If that’s true then we’d be better off without him. Doesn’t say much about the integrity of the player or the decision making of the club if true.

The sooner this season is over the better.

The list just keeps getting longer and longer.
There's either something very wrong in the club, or we just keep picking the wrong players.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Sat Sep 02, 2023 5:00 pm  

Wait,Nene has left?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Sat Sep 02, 2023 5:06 pm  

RS seems to be backing that up now. What a mess this year has been on so many levels, how do you square the fact that we have a number of players who just wanted out? And Nene especially, was it 4 years he signed?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Sat Sep 02, 2023 5:12 pm  

If true he can do one.

We built success on a team of players that would do anything for the club, for far too long we’ve not had that., and we’ve all benn asking for a clear out. Those players on the pitch today gave there all and I want to see more of that

Nene would be a bit weird because wasn’t he good mates with Rohan Smith
