Even given his age. Cunningham is better than both of your hookers

You lot will still be saying Cunningham is the best hooker in the world after he dies though.

I'm from Sydney and have watched him play for years.

No way in the world you would consider him world class.

He's not even the starting hooker at Manly.

He has been a bench player for most of his career in the NRL.
In fact he has only started about 7 times and this was back in 2006 and 2007 when at the Roosters. Mainly due to injury not talent.

He isn't a bad player though, just not world class.

I think it would probably be more reasonable to compare him to the guy he is replacing. How much have you seen of Terry Newton play? Enough to give us an unbiased comparison?

I'd rather see the comparison with Henderson.

Maybe he could give us both and then we'd both be happy. Or not, depending on the verdict

High class hooker he certainley is not.

Plays about 25 mins a game, averages about 3 carries and 25 metres.
Some people are getting very excited at a very average hooker.
