Quote: Gotcha "This of course is pretty irrelevant without understanding how many have been injured for periods, the fact that Howarth was signed after the season had started, and Wood wasn't at Huddersfield, and Fisher had to come out of retirement to help London.
You are talking about a highly rated player not just by the Leeds club but others.
Leeds should have been the ones pushing is availability out there, not the other way round. Look how many Wire players have been out this year.'"
It's not irrelevant because it shows an established first choice hooker at each SL club that is easily a better choice than an untried and untested Hood.
It also shows most of the SL clubs 2nd choice hookers to be a better choice than an untried and untested Hood.
Is a short term loan where he might play only a couple of games particularly better than playing every week at Hunslet?
I'd say a hooker needs a long term loan to help their development.
From that list (plus of course clubs have the option of using other players in that role) I'd say only Wakefield, Salford or London would have even been a possibility for a long term loan.
