  • Danny Levi

    Link: https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/nrl-202...3-f8cced952b84


    Danny Levi has signed with the Broncos for the remainder of 2021.


    I'm not saying the Roosters should look at every single player on the fringe of first grade but we are one decent back up hooker short (as everyone here knows and spoken about several times). I guess we do like to think outside the box and hence why there are talks of the Roosters talking with "TJ Perenara" but Levi would've been a good option and if we got him for less than $250k, he would've been a good back up for Verrills or even start and have Verrills come off the bench and ease back into the game. We need a good rotating combination for the full 80mins... maybe once Lam comes back into the halves then Hutch or Keighran would take that role and rotate in but a specialist hooker would've been great to have handy. Since last weeks game against the Melbourne Cap Cheats... the way Smith and Grant played and rotated made me think that we really need that similar style of play...both had an impact when they were on.


    Ben Marschke is solid and Lussick is out hurt and they are good but we are really getting close to the bottom of the barell.


    Thoughts ? Would Danny have been a good buy and fit or pass ?

          I don’t think we should be looking outside the club at this stage.

          these things unearth young talent.
          sure we are busted , but we have two young blokes that will come back soon.
          and I like the look of Marschke , these guys are Roosters.

          But always happy to wrong.
          e.g
          SBW
          Cronk.

          but let’s never go back to Willie Mason days.
          Uncle Nick has finally got things right away that regard.

          Only hooker I would look at is Damien Cook.
          he is too nice a bloke to be at Souths ,

            Bro respect to Marscke for his efforts but if he is in our first grade team we have a problem.

              Sam V is back plus we have Ben M and Adam K plus Freddy will be back too. No need to buy another average player.

                Starling from the raiders is being very underused by sticky, with Hodgson and Havili always ahead of him.

                  To me this is all a bit like the commentary on how we didn't sign Segeyaro (when we were short of a rake and he went to Brissy).

                  Long-term we don't need a mediocre, ~$250k rake who can fill the gap for 6 months. We need quality!!! With Verrills and Lussick on our books... I think we'd need somebody with significantly more potential/talent than either of them for it to be worth our while.

                    Verrills, Lussick, Marschke, Perenara, Levi etc etc. We would end up with about 7 hookers on our books if all these signings happened. I know we are short now but that is because of a string of injuries in the same position ... a position where we were probably as good, if not better, covered than most clubs. It's not often you lose your first 4 choices in a position within 5 rounds. Then when they are all fit we would end up short somewhere else because of it.

                      Levi went to the Michael Lichaa school of hookers, will never be a 1st grader

                        Stick with SV/Freddy and Benny M as all can do the job with opportunities and development.

                        Some have a view that a player needs to be at the peak of their powers from game 1 in the NRL and forget that it takes time.

                        Just as it would have taken time for anyone on here to reach the capabilities required for the role they are in or they have been in over their working lives. Playing NRL is no different.

                            He is more a first grader than Freddy Lussick

                            Try and be serious and you will look stupid

                              Lussick needs to build himself up this year if he wants to be a serious contender for hooker next season.
