Completely agree. Plays behind a poor middle and still looks ok.
Edit - not just a poor middle, terrible yardage and metres per carry. And he’s not the cause, his passing is top notch.

Sorry boys, I should have clarified that a crisp pass and having standard defence etc was a given for me. I should have made it clear.

The great hookers have the pass. It's that ability to get the ball away without a wind up swing or taking a step and to put it slightly in front of the receiving player. Gives the first receiver that extra second or two and negates the defensive line (depending on the ref)
Not sure we're quite there yet but maybe a work in process. I thought Otukolo had a decent pass.

The top 6 are better hookers for sure. The rest are equal at best (most are poorer IMO), and Hunt is a halfback. Otherwise you would have Tommy Turbo on the best NRL centres list for instance because he played origin there.
Egan is clearly under rated by Warriors fans, which is probably because we have been so poor since he's been at the club. Was easy in our top 3 players this season.

Egan's a decent player. If we got things right with our forward pack he'd go even better. Hes shown he has a decent footy brain and is great at squaring up the defence for his outside men. Has an okay running game, if he improved his kicking he would be above average imo.
He's not the player who's going to win you a premiership singlehandedly, but does his job well enough for other stars to shine. I just don't think we have many other stars at the moment.
He would be the kind of player that would go great at a club like Storm or Panthers. Professional, good work ethic and does his core job relatively well.
Still only 24 too! He could be a solid, consistent Warrior for over 10 years really.

….and he started running the ball more and realised he could do a job there too. He’s on the up. 👍🏾

Somebody on here said Harry Grant studies Egan for how he engages defenders from dummy half, he’s obviously doing something right. I read the panthers forum a bit and they would have him back in a heartbeat. His body is getting stronger and not so injury prone, I see him as our captain after Tohu Harris is done
more to the point he didn't have people undermining him, you watch his games last year he was trying things , the same things he was doing this year but , players want to much of the play

Egan has improved with a pack going backwards and leaking 700 points. With a proper forward pack he’d be pretty dangerous

240. WAYDE EGAN
Warriors signed Wayde Egan from the Penrith Panthers on a 3 year contract where he had played 29 games from 2018-2019. Egan was told by Penrith that he was free to look elsewhere for the 2020 season as his contract would not be renewed.
In December 2021 Egan signed for a further 2 years keeping him at the club until 2024...

Hooker Wayde Egan has extended his time with the Vodafone Warriors after signing a new two-year contract until the end of the 2024 NRL season.
The 24-year-old, who was off contract after the 2022 season, will now stretch his stay to at least five seasons.
“We’re really excited to have Wayde with us for a further two years,” said Vodafone Warriors general manager football Craig Hodges.
“He impressed throughout the season giving us real consistency with his work at hooker.
“We like what he brings to the squad and to the club as a whole with his work ethic as well as his attitude off the field where he has a passion for community causes.”
Like many in the current squad, Egan is yet to play a home game at Mount Smart Stadium after appearing in 38 matches in his first two seasons with the club.
“What’s really impressive about Wayde is the way he’s always looking to improve his game,” said Vodafone Warriors head coach Nathan Brown.
“He gave us tremendous value this year, performing consistently well and standing out as one of our best players across the season.”
The former Penrith hooker was among the four nominees for the club’s prestigious Simon Mannering Medal alongside Addin Fonua-Blake, Euan Aitken and award winner Tohu Harris.
He appeared in 20 of the Vodafone Warriors’ 24 games scoring three tries while averaging almost 69 minutes a game and making a team-high 818 tackles (an average of almost 41 a game). He made more than 50 tackles in a game five times including a best of 59 against Cronulla Sutherland in round 17.
On attack he had eight try assists and eight line break assists, third best behind only Kodi Nikorima and Reece Walsh in each category.
Off the field Egan continued his involvement in community causes, most recently last month when he enlisted the support of some teammates for a 24-hour stationary bike ride to raise funds for the Gotcha4Life Foundation.

If I didn't know you were going through updating all of the players I'd be getting a bit nervous seeing the threads for the current guys. Start thinking someone is in the news either in trouble or been poached.
