Ive never noticed Bedsy to be a whining bitch, no hookers compare to Woolford & Toovey in that regard.

You obviously did not watch the Storm v knights last sat night?

Woolford is not a whiny bitch, Whilst he was captain, he questioned the ref a lot, what captain doesnt?

Woolford has the balls of an ox and never gives up, you will see a different germ this year, if he isnt suspended for bullsh*t rulings most of the year.

He whinges about every penalty! Not every captain does that- just Woolford! Hench the whinger we know him as!:lol:

Woolford was a whinger. Like Senter. But the only reason the 2 whinged so much was their unbridled passion for winning and for their clubs. That's why I'll always admire Woolford. The sort of player you love if he plays for you or hate if he doesn't.

This forward pack would carve up:

8 O Meley
9 Buderus
10 Asotasi
11 Mason
12 Ryan
13 SBW

Fast delivery from Buderis, ball straight onto the chest of rampaging forwards. Its nice to dream.
lol its ok you guys can keep hughes

Hughes has attempted 4 of his special 40/20 kicks this year. Im sure you could accomodate him into your team. Hes f**king killing us this year. Slow as a hooker on an hourly wage he is.

Buderus is the best in the game but I wouldn't have him with Walters/Elias JUST yet.
That's taking nothing away from him either.

Robbie has a long way to go before he can be considered as good as Bedsy. Having said that he has enough talent to get their eventually its all about consistancy, Bedsy has been the best hooker in the game for a long time now, Farah will almost certainly be his eventual replacement at rep level if he keeps playing like he is but thats a few years down the track.

Robbie Farah is a long way away from the 2 best hookers in the game.

Danny Buderus and Cameron Smith, anyone esle who thinks otherwise is stupid.

Farah is the most important player at the tigers. His service from dummy half sets up the opportunities prince and marshall take advantage of. Having said that, he is not as good as Buderus just yet. He needs to prove it over a longer period of time.

A better comparison would be to consider what buderus was like in his second year of grade. I cant remember but i would like to hear what knights fans think. Was bedsy better in his second year than Farah is now?

Also to compare buderus with elias and walters is a little over the top. Those two changed the way the hooking role would forever be played. Before elias there was no skill in the role, and then walters brought the running game as well.

I think he is, his great in attack his defense may not be as good as buderus but a player with the attacking abilty of Farrah is too good to pass on.

No, anyone who thinks that is a Melbourne Storm supporter. How the hell can you say Farah is "a long way" from Smith?

Farah >> Smith.

Now, this is not to say Smith isn't a good player, he is. But Farah is better.

Has Robbie Farah usurped Danny Buderus as the best hooker in the game, at least at club level?

So the question is has he gone past Buderus and Priddis?

No and no again.

Danny Buderus is the best hooker I have ever seen at any level and there is still quite a gap between him and the number two hooker in the game today.

Guys like Robbie Farrah and Cameron Smith are the heir apparents to his Australian jumper when he gives the rep jersey away (or will he retire from rep footy and then come back but not play Origin?) but that is a few years off just yet.
