I don't think you prove yourself in a position over a handful of games. As I say I think Kay has done well but a hooker needs to do much more than run from acting half, they need to be able to do a lot of tackling and act as a play maker as well as providing quality quick ball. I personally wouldnt want us to go in to a new season with only one recognised hooker, unless Willie feels that Harry Bowes is ready to do the job.
Don't agree. You prove you can do the job by doing it and Kay can. You are entitled to your opinion but pigeonholing players is a bugbear of mine. Kay does everything you say and there is a reason for that. He started his career as an SH which these days are almost the same as a 9. As far as I'm concerned he's a recognized hooker so long as he carries on as he has been, in the same way, Hampshire is a FB, Tupou a centre, Lyne a centre and so on, all positions they didn't start in.
Also, Kay has stated he wants to play 9 so do you want to tell him?
