Bit off subject but Ibiza is a beautiful place. The area where the 18-30 partying goes on is quite small really.

Back on Moore, has anything actually been announced?
Lunt is saying he is staying with Rovers.

We are going to Ibiza in 2 weeks and we are certainly not 18-30's.

No nothing as yet confirmed by the club.

As far as replacements go, I don't mind Boudebza, but think he would be better as an impact coming off the bench running at tiring defences. As for a first choice hooker, think we would be better advised looking for someone better.

Maybe, if Tupou was to retire, that would clear a quota spot, where we could look for a decent 9 from the NRL.

Maybe, is that the real reason as to why Godinet was here for the Hull game?

Don't think Godinet is a hooker.....

He is someone though that can play in the halves and hooker, and therefore would give us options. Didn't he play there quite a few times for us before

Also, he is a better option, than Kyle Wood. Aparently, Leeds are now after Kyle Wood too.

There's a lot of time between now and the start of next season, so there shouldn't be an excuse if we end up with Finn as our main 9.

Heading back to France i believe.

Heard he's going to either Toulouse or Catalans.

Think Toulouse will be a strong side next season

we have a cracking 9 in the 19s

Godinet did play hooker on several occasions as I recall. Would love to have him back for his attacking play, but particularly for his speed at the play the ball, and keen marking of the opposing acting halfback.

You can all speculate but I would think they will switch Sio to number 9 because it saves signing a replacements for Moore.

Well it's a good job you're not the coach because it was as clear as the nose on your face, that when switched there, he proved he's not a 9.

No he certainly isnt a 9. He has been though, I thinl a very good 13 for us.

If all this is true regarding Moore, looking at SL players that are off contract, none are hookers.

With this, I do feel that if a quota spot becomes available then this should be used for a hooker.

Other than this the only other alternatives I can see is Moules getting regualar game time which Im not sure yet if his body is yet ready for week in week out super league, Liam Finn, with his lack of pace could that slow down distribution or finally do we use JKs knowledge of the championship and bring one in from there. The only problem I have is we may not get the SL quality.

Has Moore gone then, or is this all speculation and pub talk?

Maybe this is where Grix's utility value comes in?

What, at 9 ?

Why not?
His organisation skills are good and he has a decent pair of hands.
I have mentioned a couple of names but if these fail, you look to who maybe able to rotate with Finn.

A specialist hooker is vital, the halves thrive on quality ball. You can't go half measures on this. When Scott has played in 2016, we are a much better team but we need players on the pitch not in the stands especially if we have less squad members in 2017. I hope this is sorted out soon to get everyone working together from game one in 2017.

I think you are right here No1.

It is a specialist position like half back in my eyes.

If Moore is definately going we need a proper hooker and a good one

Moore is our hooker next season! He's going nowhere.

Seriously? You want a utility back to start playing hooker at 33 years of age?

Speaking of hookers, I'm still waiting for the mid-season report you promised on Stuart Howarth!

Aye ok let's start pigeon holeing players, the game moves on.
Grix 32, lacking pace but still got nouse and hands, played at Shudds in their most successful years, why not?
As for Howarth and a mid season update, is he a hooker, probably not but was he prepared to play there to help the team, yes.
A club like Wakey have to move players about, Howarth being the one to bring Fifita in.
At the start of the season people were questioning Sio's role in the team, he moved from hooker and was all of a sudden not a waste of a quota spot.

He may be able to drop in at acting half but, who is going to make the other 25 tackles per game (assuming he makes maybe 15), the guy just isnt solid enough for the defensive workload of the modern day no 9.
This was the area that Godinet struggled with. He was brave enough and never bottled the defensive stuff but, he simply wasn't physical enough.
