He will need to put on some weight to play there. He's comparable in height to the likes of Cotter, C Heese, McInnes and Walker but gives up about 10-15kg on them. But he's a tenacious little f**ker and that seems to count for a lot.
Is he bigger than Ray Stone?
He already defends in the middle, just gotta see how good his middle half ball playing will be.
Or when we attack, we have 2 roving hookers who switches around every ruck. So whoever is nearer the ball, he takes the hooker position and the other plays middle half. Almost like split hookers but they roam
I actually think 40 mins each to Riley and TDS isn't that good.
I am guessing Ryles will go hooker 1 and if hooker 1 is killing it and not fatigue, then leave him on.
If hooker 2 does come on and is killing it, hooker 1 doesnt come back on.
