Stop playing non hookers at 9

[Arties Pie]

What about giving Lam a go at Hooker? At least he's a bit more zippy/creative from dummy half & done sort of ok in the past apart from his tendency to find the ground with passes sometimes.

Because he's a defensive liability who goes missing in every aspect of play.

I liked how Marshke played last year, NFI why he has not got a run this year. Love the little bit of niggle/grub he has in him as well.

He is on a development contract which one of the restrictions with those is he can't be selected for NRL until round 11 or later.

Suggestions that the cheese signed for 800k for us?

that’s alot for a substitute hooker who looks better playing at lock.

ThirtyOne can tell you all about hookers if you're looking for one, mate.

I'm happy for Hutch to be a non-playing hooker.

Watson is wasted at 9 But what do we do we can bring in Marschke but cant really have both he and Watson on the bench

Hang tight - I think you will all get your wish to come true in the ensuing weeks.
A true number 9 will start at hooker.
I think his name is Verrills.

I'm speculating here, but I get the feeling that Robbo hasn't rushed marshcke (an actual hooker) in as soon as available (round 12) because if we actually have more injuries (watson,hutcho) then he's a ready backup. In saying that he could be injured playing for the bears anyway.
