Dragons Future Hooker

[dragon thomo]

I believe Sullivan may solve our hooker position on a permanent basis, or atleast while Hunt is playing half, this would hopefully keep him from wanting him to leave
He may need to work on his defense, but he has the skill speed and toughness to make a top hooker.
The other big plus to this is we would not have to spend good money in bringing a hooker to the club.
Also when the time is right we could use Muheilson to interchange with Sullivan.

Anyone literally anyone's is an upgrade on what we have now.

I think interchanging with Hunt gives us another level in attack .....

finally, only due to injury and nothing to do with good judgment, Sullivan gets a decent run at 9 and we look a different team. Perhaps not the final solution to the 9 position but yesterday clearly demonstrated hoW much we have been hampered by sticking solid with the slow old mate of the stubborn mule. And Bird did ok back in the centres too, again only through injury.

Agree, I wouldnt like to see Bird back at centre on a full time basis as I believe he would have also benefited from the speed out of dummy half as a back rower . In a injury crisis yes.

Hasn't our new assistant coach got a son who is currently playing as a 9, should be interesting how we progress with that, maybe it was a backroom combined deal !!! Bit like SCO MO !!

 

[Adolf_Spritzer]

Sullivan is good enough, throw him in I say. Although his desire to play there will ultimately dictate that, but the fact is he's a footballer and should be champing at the bit for a starting role. Needs to work on his technique and fitness though, but geez we looked sharper with him there

Is your surname Kearney by any chance?

 

[Mjab]

What do people think will happen at hooker next year??

I assume Macca will not play , he is useless and there is media talk of him retiring so we can only hope.

Id prefer Bud / Mbye/Hunt rotation and accept some defensive lapses for far better attack

 

[Dragonslayer]

I note with great interest that young Doyle played Cup yesterday. So, thats Ball to JF and now Cup.
Not for 1 minute suggesting hes the answer to the question but i did find it interesting.

Can you be at training tomorrow

as long as it's not to early

no but after watching him play i failed miserably to emulate his game.

How long did it take for McCullough to score a try as our hooker. Sullivan has scored for us but certainly didn't take long to score yesterday. Sullivan and Amone will be a formidable combination one day for us, you mark my words. Same with Sloan and the Feagai brothers. All these guys have been mates for yonks and know each others plays like the backs of their hands.

Bird is starting to rediscover some of his centre form from years ago. He was certainly a toiler and being jonty on the spot yesterday scoring, setting up, taking high balls and nullifying several raids.

With both McCullough and Mbye out for the rest of the season (injury and suspension respectively), Sullivan is the man for the hooker role and interchanging with Hunt in the halves.

It will be hard to match it with the likes of the Storm, Panthers and Roosters etc but one day, it will happen. Just need the right things to happen (not wanting to say what they are as they have already been said over a thousand times).

edit: ok, I remember now. FFS

Bird is a backrower and most of the good things he did yesterday can be done from that position. He just gets found out by the better sides in defence at centre. The feagai bros need to play centre as their lack of zip is very noticeable. Are you South African DD , Jonty on the spot ?

Nah! Nowhere near a South African. I like the sound of Jonty as in "Jonty" Rhodes (Jonathan Rhodes' nickname as he was many times on the spot in his cricket matches). "Johnny on the spot" is the correct expression though.
