Gleeson is an outstanding Hooker but imo when Smiths at his best, he has to be the best outside superleague. Will tear defences up left right and centre.

When was he last at his best then?

We've got not just the three best hookers in the league, but argubly three of the best players in the division.

Indeed . . . there is always a lot of hype about Smith, but when has he actually shown he is up there with the best?

You are absolutely correct. But given that Halifax and Widnes have just played each other twice in the last couple of weeks, the thread seems to be about them.

Why dont you join in and tell us who you think the best hooker in the league is?

Boo Hoo!!!!

The thread is about who the best hookers are in this league . . . we feel that Gleeson, Penky and Smith/Beswick are . . . who do you personally feel is best then at the hooking role?

Nobody is disputing there are other good players in this league . . .we are merely debating who the best hooker is, that's all! Since this is a Halifax forum, where most topics are likely to be Fax based!

Gregg McNally is very good in the Halfback role, However He's now a Huddersfield Giants player loaned back to you, Well done on developing a good talent and enjoy having him playing for Whitehaven while he does.

FWIW Andy Ellis, The Barrow Hooker was ok, but wouldn't get a #9 Jersey at Fax
