Hey Cas fans,

Just a quick question.

If I've got this correct, they are both hooker yes? Who do you all see as the better player out for Milner and Clark?

TIA.

Two different types of player.

Cunningham and Roby-esque really.

Ahh I see, I'm guessing that Hudson will be your starting hooker, so who will be on the bench?

I think wel see Milner at 7 quite alot this year, freeing up hudson and Clark to alternate at 9.

Danny Orr is a better player than Hudson so why would you play Milner out of position to make room for Hudson who isn't as good as either Milner or Clark?

Hudson will be a backup for both hooker and loose forward.

That's what I would think too. Orr and Chase at half back, Clark and Milner to interchange at hooker. Maybe Hudson on the bench as cover for hooker/loose/second row. He just doesn't really have the speed around the ruck to cause the defence too many problems any more.

Judging by how Millward has played in pre-season I think we'll see Hudson and Clark starting the season.

if he cuts out the stupid offload when getting tackled then hes a good player to have on bench,cracking tackler aswell

Just going by what Millward has done in pre-season, and Milner has played 7 before so how would it be out of position?

Does that mean Rob Burrow plays out of position for Leeds when he plays at 9? No he doesnt because he is capable at doing both effectively, same as Milner

Its pretty obvious from pre season that basil sees milner playing scrum half when Danny orr retires.Hudson is a tricky one its not nice to say but I hope he gets injured so there is no confusion who will be playing at hooker.

i think brierly will be our no.7 next year

I see Daz Clark as a future half back,just think what he could do with his running game and speed.

Not sure why we are trying to move either Clarke or Milner out of 9, they are talents. Hookers fill a gap at 7 when you need it, but will tend to play link/pivot in my opinion as opposed to being a specilaist. Not having a pop at anyone but I think people look at the likes of Robinson, Leuilui (sp) and Burrow and presume it is a simple transition and it is far from that. Look how Goldy, who whatever you say is talented wrestled with the challenge of trying to become a half.

Let Hudson play 13 or from the bench, let them rotate - not sure we need to clamour to move either of them. I am a big believer in if you get your best 13 on the field at any one time, they will play well together. Look at Saints who seemed to have Moore, Cunningham and Roby on the field at the same times last season. If they're all fit and in the most appropraite 17 for any given week- play them all.
