A really solid player Crosby and I'd be sad to see him go. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with him (should you get him) a bit like I presume you have been with his best mate Jack Hughes.
He's be signing as your 4th prop and he's a very good standard 4th prop for me.

Agree with you, he would improve our match day 17 so would be a good signing.

| Andrew Johns played hooker at international level.
I think Cooper Cronk did too.

| Anyways.
Crosby has signed, he was the prop I alluded to without mentioning a couple of weeks ago, tbh, I didn't know it was him then.
Dwyer definitely isn't going anywhere, well not presently anyhow. So no swap deal as some have said.

| His average gain is 7.73m. That's not bad at all.

Are you Stevo in disguise labouring a clearly inaccurate view?
All the players you mentioned were seasoned professionals who had played many games at halfback before 'filling in' occasionally due to injuries or lack of squad depth.
Hooker is a specialist position were a player needs the distribution skills of a halfback, speed, vision and crucially the ability to defend against the opposite middle six for extended periods whilst remaining an attacking threat. We have a best example in SL with Clark but if Tony Smith insists on rotating the hooker (it isn't strictly needed as shown by Roby and Houghton) we will need one on the bench and another within the three squads capable of playing at this level.
I believe we have now made an enquiry about Shaun Lunt and it is likely Dwyer is leaving due to receiving an offer from elsewhere.

| We really should be having a dabble on Waterworth. I believe he's taken a pay cut to play for Swinton (and he wouldn't have been on much at Wigan). I know Rogues rates him highly and his distribution from acting half being his main strength. I'm led to believe we went to look at him but after Morgan Smith put in a good performance against Catalans we decided to carry on as we were.....or something along those lines.

I have seen him play a few times and he always stood out to me. Good distribution, quick and a strong defender. Surprised to hear he has been released.
That leaves Gansons lad as Wigan reserve hooker and he is quite frankly awful.

So you agree. Andrew Johns played hooked at international level.
Thanks
