What? You saying he can’t defend?

He tackles ok and with courage. So does Pritchard but that is a waste of talent at our position of need if you ask me. They spend most of the time recovering from tackling. Get some other knuckle head back rower or outside back defending against the props.

We also never produced a good hooker who started his career as a half-back. Bit of a conundrum isn't in?

P J Marsh will f**king punch you for saying that. Started as a halfback with the Eels in 2000. Played QLD Origin as hooker on 2002,03 & 08.

Parramatta hasn't ever produced a good halfback. Unless you count Sterlo who came into the juniors at 16 (I think) the next best is probably Hodkinson.

Moses could come good and if he doesnt we need to throw a fortune at Brimson or Taylor.

In the mean time we also need a dummy half so I was kind of hopeful this kid might be able to make the switch.
Interested in your definition of good halfback?
Is it only one that plays Origin, or wins a grand final? What about someone who plays 50+ first grade games? How long do we have to have them and at what age to say we produced them?

I think the basic idea is to devise a set of criteria that are very difficult to satisfy, and that when you do, that player has by definition played for you for a very long time and hence no other player during that time could satisfy the criteria. And then use this bizarre logic to conclude that we should move our best prospect in years to hooker. f**king magic.

You'd probably still be waiting if I didn't bring this to Dean's attention. You can thank me on Saturday
