You mentioning Pattie, reminds me we could probably get Brailey the elder as a 2nd hooker. (They also have Starling and 3 into 2 doesn't go.) Flanno gave him his debut.

That's a good age for a Liddle backup and eventual heir. Just hope they can tackle.

Interesting, definitely has the talent to do so and he’s young enough to pivot and do great there
Satrick/Brophy/Cacciotti are the 3 names that spring to mind for that Flegg age hooker, I’m probably way off, note for anyone reading. Cacciotti scored 4 tries against our Laurie Daley cup team in the grand final from HOOKER and 4 tries in round 2 the SAME season

Be sad to see Chapman go, but if we can keep Ah Kee I'd feel a whole lot better.. don't want to lose both though.. there aren't a lot of halves talent coming through apart from those 2 and probably Marley in 19's.. we need that production line to stay running.
(Jasais) Ah Kee could also end up @9 potentially, Phillips and Coehlo look like the only other prospects coming through.. but this 21yr old if we get them will come in a couple of years in front of those fellas..... probably means Fagalilo and Muhleissen aren't seen as 9's to fast-track.
It could also mean Cook goes, but imo you desperately need 3 hookers in your 30.. you need a 1st grade 9, a 1st grade 14, and you need injury cover in NSW Cup.. even then you are thin..

that is essentially Muhl, but hes shit and obviously injured, if the club dont want to use Haele in firsts why is he even here? im not a fan of him. Agree Phillips will move to JF once done SG but if these hookers arent seen as ready for first grade and theyre over the age of 21 get rid of them!!

Chapman is such a versatile player best player in every position he plays once he’s finds his preferred position he’ll be gold we can’t loose him surely

Maybe Ennis has some input into what he thinks we should recruit for a hooker, am rly curious what they intend to do with Kyle though.. maybe they just want a back up option behind Kyle/Liddle for next year? Or who knows.. But even once Reed steps up, you need backup if Reed is struggling or injured or HIA.. and you need coverage for Liddle at a minimum.. or Cook.. honestly we have already pushed Cooks body more than we should have.

3 hookers in your top 30
Liddle/New 21 year old and Flanagan (who can play reserves).
Just hope the 21 year old is a good'n ...
Cook is close to end of career

Wasn't there talk of resigning him for another year ?

I'm still a cook fan, I think as a 20-30min impact hooker, hes tremendous value and covers other positions from the bench.. however.. the Top 30 spots r a lot thinner than you think moving forward.. esp with guys like Buchanan being promoted.. assuming we are still after said hooker, said fullback, said winger, and a couple of other positions.
Also surely Reed isnt the Rd1 half next year? Who else is gonna do it bar Kyle? R we buying someone in? R we back in on LKT?

it felt like that was chat from the player/player manager side of things.

True but with the new 6 man bench, less demand for utilities. Though would be ok to keep him for one more year if he was on 300~400k rather than the 600 he's reported to be on now.
