Karl Lawton

[Meth]

This guy is now our hooker going forward.

Roache is talented, but brittle and cursed.

We should probably start looking for a hooker because, unfortunately, Roache is not going to be it.

 

[Iafeta]

Yes. Need to make the tough call on Nate unfortunately. He’s another Benry. Damn shame.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Heard it may be an ACL, which means he'll miss this season, and some of next.
Going for as can today.

Poor dude!

 

[Blair]

According to our 'fan in the stand' aka R & S, Luke put in a big one yesterday in reserves.

(See his report in our Canterbury Cup 2019 thread).

 

[Meth]

Honestly, I would still have Luke in the side every time if fit. I really hope that we didn't rush Roache back ahead of time to drop Luke to the reserves.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

maybe its a good thing that we are going after Turpin so heavily then

Poor dude!

That was painful to watch, looked like something gave in the knee.

 

[VillaTheGorilla]

After Roache and Luke, who is the next cab of the rank for hookers for us?

Please, don't even joke about Tevaga

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Luke/Lawton will share the duties for the rest of the year but we need a replacement for next year.

We need a lot of replacements for next year.

Playing Canterbury Cup this weekend as starting 9.


Yeah, you should be excited.

Poor dude!

I see him packing it in due to the constant injuries if it’s true. Sucks because he’d be the goods if his body didn’t keep giving out on him.

 

[JJ]

If there's a bright side, his injuries have all been different, I think with Henry it was the same knee over and over?

Terrible luck though

Either way it’s gotta be hell for his confidence and motivation to keep going though

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Roache is done IMO. As unfortunate as it is he's an injury waiting to happen.

I hope this doesn't give Luke a reprieve. There are hookers elsewhere who could do the job.

Well no joke, but Tevaga knew what he was doing at hooker when he first started out.

Dunno what the hell happened after that.

 

[Rich102]

He thought he was a lock.

 

[vvvrulz]

He thought he was a lock.

... and completely lost all ability at dummy half?

Frustrating because he's not really a lock either.

 

[Rich102]

He's not a starting anything. But he said he wants to be a starting lock so Kearney named him there.

 

[Iron Lion]

Yeah, you should be excited.

Tyler Slade is a grafter. Very much a Kearney type player.

If you are looking for a player with x-factor you won't find it.

Workhorse yes. Big heart yes but is that enough at NRL level?

 

[Mr Angry]

Well depends what you are looking for.

Isaac Luke he had X-Factor.

I prefer a solid, extremely smart footballer ala Cameron Smith at hooker.
