Quote Biff Tannen="Biff Tannen"I'm pretty sure Roby will be in the squad but i would bet as a Saints fan you would like to see him miss out and rest his body, as a player who is almost 31 and puts his body through the mill for 80 minutes every week and has for a lot of seasons now it's bound to start showing soon.
It's great we have plenty of quality in the hooking department, i don't think any of the obvious four will let us down if selected.'"
I would think it might depend on how Wayne Bennet wants to operate on the hooking front, if he wants to use 2 hookers in the game to set the defence early on and build pressure later in attack then Houghton and Clark might be the better option, if he wants an 80 min hooker then that could be Hodgson.
You are right our hooker options are pretty good quality wise. Roby had an elbow "clean out ' recently and still has the odd ankle problem but he will still put his hand up if needed.
