Was the Canterbury Cup hooker of the year in 2019 so he can obviously play- Souths must have a good back up for Cook if this bloke wasn't signed.

Interesting to note that Tristan Sailor was picked as one of the centres in that CC team of the year . Hope he gets to play in Aitken's position.

Technically not signed, only a train and trial contract at present.

The original plan was McInnes to start then move to lock and bring Luke on as hooker, basically as a change up in game play. Luke, I believe, has also been training as an edge forward to cover anything happening there.
Luke is not an 80min player.
IMO, with Cams injury, and we're not talking season ending, Luke will start with Joe as the support player, as he can cover, hooker, edge and lock. If they do end up signing BB it would only be to cover Luke, as he has been injury prone hinself over the last few seasons.
Long term view would be that Luke and Joe are only on a 1yr deals. This will be the internal battle this year.
BB is a good hooker, just hasn't had the opportunities.

Robson was Canterbury Cup hooker of the year too. I would have rather we signed Brittian before Luke. I know there were some rapts on Brittian at Souths. I don't see him as a bad signing. I still see Luke as a bad signing. I would rather see Brittian given a run than Luke.
