I don't think he's coming here to play off the bench Suity. He will be the starting hooker.
Honestly MK would do a better job then some of our backrowers.
Now im not trying to say we should move keating to the backrow but if Hiffy came here MK could very easily play lock. He has the defensive ability (he is one of our best defender apart from hindy), he has ball playing ability and he is pretty evasive with a good step. He could very easily be a Stagg or Johnson type lock and if Hilfy comes here that what I think Kearney will be doing because they both are 80min players or at least 60min and having them play 40min each is a waste of cap space. I think if we sign Smith as well we might line up something along the line of (this is what I think kearney will do):
8 Mannah
9 Hinchy
10 Poore (i think Kearney will keep him)
11 Ryan
12 Smith
13 Keating
bench: Matuia, Smith, Lussick, Allgood
If we dont get Smith and loss Poore; Matuia and Lussick move into the starting line up and Paulo and Peni move onto the bench (obviously that depends on who we get as well).
