No he certainly isnt a 9. He has been though, I thinl a very good 13 for us.

If all this is true regarding Moore, looking at SL players that are off contract, none are hookers.

With this, I do feel that if a quota spot becomes available then this should be used for a hooker.

Other than this the only other alternatives I can see is Moules getting regualar game time which Im not sure yet if his body is yet ready for week in week out super league, Liam Finn, with his lack of pace could that slow down distribution or finally do we use JKs knowledge of the championship and bring one in from there. The only problem I have is we may not get the SL quality.

Maybe this is where Grix's utility value comes in?

Why not?
His organisation skills are good and he has a decent pair of hands.
I have mentioned a couple of names but if these fail, you look to who maybe able to rotate with Finn.

A specialist hooker is vital, the halves thrive on quality ball. You can't go half measures on this. When Scott has played in 2016, we are a much better team but we need players on the pitch not in the stands especially if we have less squad members in 2017. I hope this is sorted out soon to get everyone working together from game one in 2017.

I think you are right here No1.

It is a specialist position like half back in my eyes.

If Moore is definately going we need a proper hooker and a good one

Moore is our hooker next season! He's going nowhere.

Seriously? You want a utility back to start playing hooker at 33 years of age?

Speaking of hookers, I'm still waiting for the mid-season report you promised on Stuart Howarth!

Aye ok let's start pigeon holeing players, the game moves on.
Grix 32, lacking pace but still got nouse and hands, played at Shudds in their most successful years, why not?
As for Howarth and a mid season update, is he a hooker, probably not but was he prepared to play there to help the team, yes.
A club like Wakey have to move players about, Howarth being the one to bring Fifita in.
At the start of the season people were questioning Sio's role in the team, he moved from hooker and was all of a sudden not a waste of a quota spot.

He may be able to drop in at acting half but, who is going to make the other 25 tackles per game (assuming he makes maybe 15), the guy just isnt solid enough for the defensive workload of the modern day no 9.
This was the area that Godinet struggled with. He was brave enough and never bottled the defensive stuff but, he simply wasn't physical enough.
