Crossland has surpassed Brailey as the number 1 hooker. Its rumoured Brailey has been diminished by his injuries.
If Hetherington could get his head right he could be anything. Superior athlete but a bit nuts.
The better finds are in the lower grades like Connor Votano and even Fletcher Sharpe who are both stuck behind Ponga (when he plays).

This.

We are nuts not to try and get these guys over to Parra.

The problem is (and why Newcastle are looking to offload him) is that Brailey has never reached his prime.
I see this talk often about players compared to their prime and it misses a key point. At any moment in time his value is determined by his ability compared to salary. That’s all. So even if a player is past his best, or a long way from it, it doesn’t matter as long as he’s being paid appropriately.

Brailey might well be on more than he’s worth, because the Knights signed him based on his potential, when he was young. But if we signed him it would be based on what he is worth to us.
