Would somebody , anybody please hand me a piece of 2 x 4 so I can hit my head !

I am so sick to bloody death of listening to this Hunt saga that simply goes on and on to what appears to be a dead-end road .

Cookie , please we may be close to finally having the million dollar man leave so keep your appeals to yourself regardless of how well meaning they may be .

I hope for my sake that she never receives your package as she’s just as liable to use it . 🫣

I hope this is not written in Cook's contract??

I hope it is and he can leave too if he wants Hunt to stay

Just re - reading my posts on the Cook thread

This one was posted whilst my jaw was throbbing and I was self medicating with Scotch whisky. Turns out I had a cracked tooth, infected and developed into an abscess. I can tell you - it's the first time in my life I have involuntary screamed in pain when the dentist drill hit the infected nerve.

Anyway just tempering my pain filled rant.

I like Cook and agree with majority of posts supporting his recruitment but I also love Liddle

I don't believe either player offers F%&k all as a 14 other than Hooker

They are both specialist hookers

I also don't believe we can afford to carry specialists on our bench for one position in "rotation"

Would be happy for anyone to explain how it would work (I.E. The full bench rotation) but considering we opt for 4 forwards on our bench with Zero outside back coverage nor any Hooker/Half coverage, I can't fathom it.

I just believe Liddle will end up becoming depth Hooker to Cook, not a bench rotation, because we just don't have the talent to support 2 Hookers = Unfair to Liddle IMO

Cook will move to lock when Liddle comes on it will obviously work very well then again this is only my opinion

I hardly remember the post, but it was back in June.

Last year we relied heavily on a 4 Forward Bench rotation.
We have not strengthened our middles via recruitment, so I can only fervently hope our home-grown youngsters can step up, allowing us the luxury of carrying a 14.

I hope you are correct.
I will trust Flanno on this one

Can we grab Murray too? So much good goes through him.

Keen to have Cookie leading up front.

Adding Cook to our hooker rotation will strengthen defence around the ruck. Both Cook and Liddle to play 40min and so, remain fresh enough to defend well.

I'm tipping that Fifita and the Couchman boys will have a breakout season thus providing more power in defense and attack up the middle.

I also hope we sign Lodge to stiffen up our prop rotation. If we sign Lodge, the possibility of releasing Ravalawa and Lawrie we should have another couple of spots in the to 30 to fill in 2025.
