I was reading about Matty Head, who played at hooker off the bench this week.
The fans were saying that how much quicker he was at ptb. The speed and accuracy of his passing, was a massive improvement for the team when he came on.
The problem is that they now have Fien |

Head must have got his shoulders sorted to be playing hooker and having to defend down the middle  |

'" Just because he plays hooker doesnt mean he has to defend in the middle, Beau Scott defends in the middle of the park when Head comes on.
Think thats why Berrigan picks up alot more knocks for us than when he was playing hooker at Brisbane as he was still defending in the centres and David Stagg who was playing centre defended in the middle. |

I see the value of a hooker being their workrate in defence. If Berro used to defend like that and Head defends like that now i'd question using either of them at hooker. |

Thats were we differ as id rather have a hooker who is more attack minded who you put structures in place to protect him from having to defend too much so he can conserve his energy for attack.
I'd actually swap Berro and Yeamo's positions in defence. |

| Quote PAUL M="PAUL M"That's a big call, I might be inclined to agree with you tbh. We could use Lee and Houghton at hooker and sign a ball playing halfback with Berro's money. Use Horne at fullback and Tansey from the bench.'"
Horne's nothing great at fullback I don't see why so many people want him there...He's safe that's it, offers nothing going forward when he has the ball from the back. |

I think you do...
Quote A unknown superstar="A unknown superstar"He's safe that's it'"
There you go! Many (most, probably) in this country hold an antiquated view of what a fullback should be and that view seems to consist solely of 'being safe'. |

Oh I agree and have said so many times in recent weeks. He lacks any kind of urgency on his kick returns and I would personally play him at 6. |
