Reserve Grader
Buhrer is going to be a great Hooker, but needs more first grade experience playing in that position to reach his potential. I think that's what Toovey is trying to give him, so that we won't lose much if Ballin's out. At the moment he usually passes well, and runs from dummy half well. But only time will help him read the game as well as Ballin does, and make the right call when needed. I think it's hard to see this kind of stuff on TV as you can't see all the players and opportunities like you can at the game where you can really see what makes the great hookers great (counting numbers, seeing gaps, controlling tempo etc). He also needs to learn to hide his intentions a bit better as you can usually read his intentions before he makes a pass.
