That is a great question, well asked. Just from current NRL hookers it was:

Cook
Egan
Garlick (debuted at 27!)
Graham
Hayward
Healey
Ioelu
Kenny
Koroisau
Luke
Mann
Pattie
Plath
Smith
Sommerton

Harry Grant had only played one game by his 21st birthday, and two by his 22nd. Merkins are off their head if they think a hooker is gash for not playing first grade by 21.
From your list at least six of them were playing first grade at 21. So more than not is the answer yeah?

Your question was how many hadn’t played NRL by 21. Playing after your 21st birthday isn’t that. If you meant any time before turning 22 then you should’ve said so.

Here is a rumour. There is a club in western Sydney that is masquerading as a powerhouse of league.

When they are a powerhouse of banking, whose football boss, lives in the shire and it seems is to comfy to care about results
Can we add both the Gm football and List Manager are ex Tigers and they appear successful in turning the Eels under their tenure into the Tigers. Now that’s some achievement.

I assume the CEO, HOF, and List Manager are all ongoing employees rather than contracted stuff like the coaching staff?
The may be correct. But again a rumour, the letters KPI are involved.

meet KPI safe.

Miss KPI explain it to higher ups (in other words safe)

also white ant a coach and not follow through on the side he wants but the side you want to recruit

it’s almost like they think we can keep the extra cap money

Ill be curious to know if the club and Paulo already have an agreement in place to wait until round 8 or 10 before discussing what the future is after 2026.

Its clear after 4 rounds that Paulo is surplus requirements in 2027.

I suppose the next step is the process of telling Junior and give him the courtsey and respect his free to do what he wants in 2027 outside the club.

I would tell Jnr go to the Super league and let his family enjoy Europe for a couple years.

Hate to say it but I agree. He’s been a great player for us but his time is up. He can get a 2 year deal in England very easily.

and it’s a great for MON and Jim’s mowing to replace him by signing Jack Debellin for another 10 years.

Offer him a job at the club. He has been a good club man.

yeah i wouldnt re sign him, but i imagine that might be the case already given how keen we have been to sign an elite middle.
