Don't get me wrong I think it's ridiculous to assume that Jamie will be a gun hooker. He has played like 20 games in reserve grade at hooker. Let's see how he goes against first graders.
By the way the 2 hookers in last year's GF were hardly what you'd call dominant. Walters and Kenny.
The young half you mention was stood down for a few weeks from playing/training in all grades early in 2023 and was encouraged to get his attitude right. Would it make any sense to cut our hard working captain for an untested kid with a questionable attitude?
DCE on 600k is also laughable. Any...
I don't seem to recall Wolfman having glaring issues with his game - particularly defense prior to this. I can only assume he is referring to Wolfman as I don't think anyone else had a shocker.
Tigers have apparently signed 6 of our juniors from the 2021 Harold Matthew's grand final winning team including Roy Quiroz-Mapusua. On top of Fainu x 2 and Feledy its a big part of that team!

Only Ponga, Walker, Drinkwater, Walsh and Hynes have more try assists on average this year.
No doubt he has a gift, just needs to work really hard in the off-season on some of the foundational aspects of his game, such as defense and hard running.
