Do any of you think Leuluai will really make a good hooker?

I know that he played there for NZ in the World Cup final, but they looked a far better side when Luke came on and he wasn't on the pitch.

Well given that I totally disagree with your assessment re: New Zealand I think I can safely say yes.

They had released Leon to Saints and Deacon was injured so Karl played SO.

The pack was absolutly awesome that game, Fielden was MOM he was brilliant, he would not get the same platform layed down at Wigan.

Thought he played 7.

Possibly but that isn't the issue. We have a pressing need for an effective 9 with Riddell fat/unfit/hurt whatever and McIllorum banned. Playing TL at 9 is the best option for the team.

At times you played Roby at 13 to best suit your requirements - or was it a damning indictment of him as a 9?

I don't necessarily mean as a stop gap, needs must and all that, some people think it's a long term solution though.

No one is of the opinion that Roby is better at 13 either.

Given that Luke finished the tournament with a far higher reputation than Leuluai, I think I'll go with my assessment in that he was a better hooker.
