Who Plays Hooker?

[Johnny Tobin]

if selected Hastings would only have to cover Maubs for a maximum 10-15 minutes spread just before halftime to just after halftime.

would also love to see Evans up against the Burgess boys as the replacement for FPN, but we all know Robbo will go with Casty.

Didn't he pick Evans over Casty a couple of weeks back?

I think you're on the money there JT. This week is too soon for Le'Stranger......he's a few weeks away from returning.

Not according to TR..

put kara or dureau on the bench now the jets are finished. leave Jackson in the 20s to get 2nd spot for the semis.

20's means nothing, actually less than that. Pretty sure TR feels the same as he has no problem pulling out there 'stars' just to be 18th man for the experience. Smart man who shows where 100% where the clubs focus is.

Finchy would be the way to go - a sad day when we lost him.

I think if Robo wants Hastings he will take him from 20s. I don't think Robo will worry about where the 20s finish. I think he will be more concerned about doing what is right for the first grade side and if that means taking Hastings out of 20s then that's what he will do.

Dureau can't tackle - no way he gets selected, even for just a 15-20 minute stint to give Aubbo a rest. If L'Estrange can't play surely Kara will get that role alongside Aubbo - he's no champion but he's the best option if L'Estrange can't perform the role due to his injury.

there might be 2nd tier salary implications if Kara was to be picked, I'm pretty sure young Hastings is a member of our top 25 roster.

So let's give an 18 yr old boy his debut in the biggest game of the year against the biggest pack in the game. Out of position.

I'd suggest that won't be happening.

Is it the biggest game of the year? We're established in the Top 4 and get a home final.
Also, Jacko can play hooker, he wouldn't be out of position. He captained NSW U/16's playing hooker.

U16s is a little different to first grade.

Maubs can do a decent job there. He is a natural footy player.

If we lose we will be playing away from home in the first week of the finals. Did he play Sam and George Burgess in that U/16's final?

[Vasco]

Maubs it is.

Not such a big fan of the Frenchy on the bench.

Comparing U/16's to the NRL obviously isn't what the point is. It stupid to even try and make that comparison. It was mentioned that if Jacko is picked he'd be playing out of position which isn't quite correct.
I've known the kid all his life and have followed his career from a young age to now. I have merely pointed out that he is equally adept at halves as he is at hooker.
