WithNate Roache now confirmed as out for the season , the back up hooker to Issac Luke will be interesting:
Sam Cooke - seems to have this spot cemented for round 1. I watched him play a bit in the lower grades and thought he was an adequate footballer, but has had a solid off season and has the backing of Steve Kearney. I thought he was very average in the Storm game with sloppy service but bounced back against the Titans. Is his defence up to it?
Mania Cherrington - Has dropped down further in the rankings which is a surprise as was knocking on the first grade door last year. He was a stand out for the reserves last year
Karl Lawton - like a good comedian, timing is everything and he has arrived into Akld at the right time.
Jazz Tevita - we all know he can swear, having seen the Sky documentary but perhaps now not suited to hooker? His service was not good in the Storm game
Mason Lino - I've only seen him at 7 or 6, could move to hooker but I believe covered with players above
Edien Ackland - has a good league surname, thought I'd throw him off n for a laugh!
Or ...
Luke to play 80 minutes. He looks to be fit enough however evidence shows that he buckles under physical stress. Wasn't Kata seen as a back up hooker once? They'd be a lot of darts from dummy esp, 5-10 metres from the line
What do you think?
