Hooker is as important as the halves these days, see Cam smith as a perfect example of how to dictate a game.

Hooker has always been an important position...I would argue they were more important in contested scrums however their roles have changed but like you say their role is just as important but in different ways.

naaa mate surely not , hookers are there these days to heel the ball arent they ???

I would say you build a great creative side around 1,6,7,13 and a great defensive side around 1,9,10,11.

The best example of a SL team largely building around their hooker is Saints with Kieron Cunningham. They have been the most consistent challengers of the entire SL era, and are always the most creative side.

Also, we played our most creative rugby in recent years when built a lot around Richard Swain.

Saints have had other creative players than Cunningham.

And Swain wasn't "creative", he milked penalties and was great at acting half with the first pass.
