Who plays hooker in 2025

[SunnyCoastChook]

2025 round 1 spine

1. Teddy
6. Sandon Smith
7. Townsend Elvis
9. ZDC

Watson is the best 14 in the game and should play off the bench.

Perhaps if Keary has a cooling off period with his ESL deal he can triple backflip and help us out next season. I wouldn't say no.

Possibly the worst spine in the NRL

[BraveTheWorld]

Got to say, I hope it's not Watson playing the majority of the time as hooker. He has gone OK there this year, but he's not a big minute, starting hooker in my view. Much rather see him off the bench, where he really excels.

I have a feeling it might be Moriarty, or we might purchase a stop-gap hooker during the off-season.

Smith’s history imo he will play half a season next year some of it early in Reggie’s and out the door we have to look to the future blood the youngsters see how they go

[Thirteen]

Manu may turn his back on rugby now that he’ll have the opportunity to play hooker. Imagine that, a 9 who doesn’t pass.

[Random Rooster]

Id be asking Keary to delay his trip to France until 2026.

Whats Chad Townsends goal kicking average? Going to need a goalkicker

Both ZDC and Sandon Smith are noted goal kickers

[Easts75]

Rock bottom dollar I'd go with Jayden Brailey. He is available

[Funky Chicken]

What about that hooker they were chasing from the Broncos, can't remember his name, but at one stage he was definitely coming down.

Blake Mozer

Give ZDC a crack. Watson at 14.

Maybe ZDC can get our pigs running Hard and STRAIGHT on to the ball. I feel we may need a bargain buy front rower to help out Spencer, May and Whyte next year. Collins a bit hit and miss I feel.

Connor Watson one assumes will be the starting dummy half - who plays lock - Candidates include Victor Radley , Naufahu Whyte and Blake Steep

Plus other Dummy Halves

Tyler Moriarty
Zac Dockar-Clay -although only signed for 2024
Beniah Loelu
Alan Holton
Christian Abal

Do you know what happened to Beniah, Salvo? He hasn’t played since the start of the year. He looked like he was being favoured over Moriarty too. I think he’s the pick of the bunch.

Blake Mozer

I wish but no it was Cory Paix we were linked to last year.

Wouldn’t mind getting Jake Turpin back for a stint, hasn’t cracked it at the Bulldogs.

Billy Smith is supposed to be a pretty hand goal kicker too if he can ever stay fit enough to play some games.

[King Salvo]

Multiple Leg Fractures in a game against the Warriors in NSW Cup in Round 10 - Ruled out for the season - Roosters brought him over from New Zealand as a 15 year old -came through the Central Coast Roosters - Harold Matthews (Under 17's) and Laurie Daley Cups (Under 18's) and onto Sydney Roosters SG Ball/Jersey Flegg and NSW Cup - same as Tyler Moriarty and Sandon Smith and a few others.
