Morgan Smith isn’t any bigger so as long as he can nail the big boys in the tackle he’ll be fine. I’m not sure it’s where we need to strengthen most though. No word on a new winger? Maybe we’re letting Pomeroy prove himself for a year.

We only have one specialised hooker in the squad, another is an absolute must for me.

So James Roby, Clark etc etc they just half backs now then? We maybe not use the actual term Hooker much these days. But until lit officially call it something else, it is a specialist position, you get yourself in enough bother on here than to be having ago at someone else.

Actually they probably should be known as specialist "dummy half" because that is what they are. Think most would know what the Duck was on about and not take it seriously (he does seem to have an "ageist" agenda though, what with "fax machines" and now "hookers".

Aye heard them called that more than they use the word hooker these days.

As for the other there was no need to take the pee out of what he said regardless of wether he meant it or not.

9 is a half capable of making the odd tackle these days...once upon a time he was a forward to which defence and hooking were his make up...back then the pivot came usually from the loose.
There are no specialist hookers.
