I agree, and with our obsession in following all things Australian, then it is likely we will be reducing the number of substitutions next year. Perhaps the days of having the luxury of a specialist second hooker on the bench are coming to an end.

Interesting... Giants also have Kyle Wood who fills in at hooker, is Logan Tomkins still at Wigan or on loan at Salford?

He played for Salford today. Definitely not meeting his early hype tbh.

So is this thread becoming a discussion about interchange hookers ?
That fad will die out .
Anyway , Hansen or Manu ?

just watched manu,wether we need another second rower is debatable,but hes hell of a player.

Its not debatable imo. If manu was added to pritchard and mini that would be soul destroying to most opposition. All good teams have 3n 4 front line 2nd rows. We have two then covering players.

I still don't think we need another backrower, but if a player as good as Manu becomes available at his age you have to take it.

Great post.

On the hooking position I'd put Abdul on the bench to cover hooker and the backrow over Washbrook.

Has Abdul ever played hooker?

According to the mole who is pretty accurate,sika manu is leaving penrith and signing for you.Would be a great signing imo.
