Hooker

Post by shaunedwardsfanclub »

Why can Micky Mac not play the full 80 minutes? Our options are severely restricted when we need to select another hooker on the bench.

Many of the top hookers in the NRL, most of who are older than MM, play the full game. Less we forget, the NRL is much quicker and more physical than SL.

He should and can play the full game albeit at the moment bar working his backside off in defence his offensive game is none existent.

Shocking that Wane treats the position so casually,typical of him to be so careless. Its a specialist position,but we stick any old young half back there if MMis not available. The requirements are for a 15 stone athlete ,hard enough to play second row if needed,ie a proper forward not a half back.Farrells and Hughes type players should be told at 18/19 to make it your position ,as not good enough to be a specialst SR on a standalone basis.If it does not work out ,move them on.With both MM and OL fading,we are not prepared for rapid change in the forwards. Too many players are kept on after 20 who never will be good enough for Wigan. The whole place is too SLACK.

Dam Menpond almost an excellent post and then you mentioned 15 stone, I would be happy with an 89 kilos hooker.

The latter is 89 kilos, daresay the others are similar.

I don't know what's up with micky Mac but after the wakes 1st try he had a right moan at the rest of the team and then asked to be subbed. He's either not fit, knackered from covering for others or p1ssed off at the way we're playing. Either way he does not look happy
