Quote: Action Man "Or not signed Berrigan and continued with Motu at hooker. Glad as I've been to see Berrigan play here, we didn't need a hooker particularly at that point.
Oh, and Briscoe was offered a contract to stay and chose to reject it.'"
Are you insane? Nobody we already had on the books was good/ready enough to step into Swain's shoes at that point. We coped ok-ish, but were notably weaker in his injury absence. We needed a hooker and got the best one on the market. IMO there can be absolutely no complaints about the recruitment of Berrigan. How we've utilised him and the platform he's been given to perform since are a different matter.
