A lot of names have come up.
Chris Hyde had half a game last week and was named as hooker in NSW cup this week. I watched him in his half game and he did the job without showing anything special, but that was after a week training with the guys. Apparently he was a handy halfback for central coast flegg last year.
Todd Hurrell had half a game in NSW cup in round one and looked pretty good i thought, and a full game in NYC in round two and looked great.
Tyne Owen is the guy i would be giving a go, but he seems to be well out of favour. He is a smallish guy with a great football brain and organisational skills. He gets the ball to the right guy far more often than most because he reads the game really well.
Joel Brown has the build and the skills. As a schoolboy he went into the comp with a minor side playing hooker as a bit of fun (he was a 5/8 for us) - and he did so well at hooker he surprized everyone and was one of the few ever selected from out of the major squads and went on a tour of the UK with aus schoolboys as a hooker - and hasn't played it since i think.
Out of left field - Joel Burraston could be a good hooker. He is a smart guy with a fantastic passing game and he is a big halfback or 5/8. He defends well and reads the game well, but seems to have lost pace or something at halfback. Hooker might be his only hope, and he has all the skills needed.
