| Going off other people s verdicts on next hooker it wouldn't be Logan , heard many of times. There s people in the academy better than Logan such as Liam carberry , but I don't know just going off what I ve read . And I still think Micky mc is a decent player after all it was madge who give him the 9 shirt so he must see some thing that most of you who think he s no good docent .

| Quote: jonh "Hooker is arguably the most important player on the pitch as they have their hands on the ball more than any other player. It is no coincidence that we really struggle when he comes on the field.
I am a little surprised to see people who could appreciate Piggy and all he brought championing McIllorum. He is as one dimensional as Higham, his dimension is simply that he works hard he cannot lead his team round the field which is the number 1 job of a hooker.'"
You're still comparing him to Piggy and other first choice hookers, though. Tommy is, rightly IMO, our first choice hooker - name some 2nd choice hookers that are better than MM. Plus, he's still only 23, and has a lot of improvement still to come.

See I wouldn't release McIlorum, but I would like to see Logan given a spell on the bench for the rest of the season.

That's what I was thinking , it's like no 1 has 2 James roby s in the same team . Tommy defo 1st choice and Micky defo my number 2 . Every 1 banging on about Logan when most people who go watching U20 s say there's better

Personally I would take off the top of my head
L'Estrange or Diskin from Bradford
Burrow
Scott Moore
Adam Milner
Robinson or Lundt
Sam Obst
all over McIllorum.

Jon Clarke looks like he'll be available at the end of the season, not many internationals like him become available these days. I wouldn't hang around tho, maybe if you offered Sam Tomkins in part ex we might listen.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion, of course, but I wouldn't. IMO, Diskin is perhaps better, but is nearly 30, Burrow isn't a hooker (Leeds can get away with him for short spells only because they have Buderus), Moore possibly, Milner or Lunt nope, and Obst is too much of a defensive weakness.

| If we were to take a hooker from somewhere else, I'd definitely look at Houghton.

| Apart from Roby the only other Superleague hooker I would consider would be Daryl Clarke from Cas.
I mean we could always bring back the badge kisser with 0 carries and 0 metres.

Clark would be my pick. He's the next James Roby and will be a super player.
A realistic option but also a gamble would be Scott Moore. He needs to grow up by the sounds of it but he's definitely got some talent.

Definitely worth throwing a transfer fee at.
If Cas have designs on becoming a regular playoff team though, they need to stop players like Shenton, Westerman and Clark jumping ship when a bigger club comes calling.

He's a good scooter. Shame he's an utter prick on the field.
I'd still give Logan a shot before worrying about transfers at that position. We have much greater needs,
