Just read you've signed Kieran Moseley, a hooker from GC Titans. Not sure what to make of that ?

Re: 2017 Squad : Wed Nov 02, 2016 9:28 pm  

Where?

Re: 2017 Squad : Wed Nov 02, 2016 9:53 pm  

Well the club would make sense, Rohan knows the Titans well.

I said weeks ago that I wouldn't be surprised if we went for Beau Faloon, because I didn't think AoB and Lumb would be enough cover for hooker (I'm not including Halafihi).
There was talk of Joseph covering hooker but I don't think anyone really considered that to be an ideal solution.

If this is true, I'd expect AOB to leave for a fee which of course might help pay for a debt we have agreed to settle, or possibly the barrister costs!

2+2 could equal 4 or 57!! Having followed this club for so long, nothing is impossible, he'll I remember in the 80's we bailed a certain star player out of custody so he could play against Widnes in a CC tie, tell me another club who Cas how that in their CV

I don't think it means we'll be selling O'brien necessarily (unless we have to. ) but I've always felt Smith doesn't quite rate Lumb as second choice hooker YET. Hence he played Addy there to give O'brien a breather rather than Lumb. But our financial situation could mean a sale.guy7

It could have some legs us signing Mosley, he also played for the Penrith U20s (which Smith coached) side a long with Moss.I think.

Certainly sounds like he's very highly rated in the NRL. All the representative honours at junior level and also represented the indigenous all stars.

I would be happy with another hooker. If he's decent, it means we can spell two hookers in games. I don't believe Lumb is ready for regular game time yet, although he's clearly got potential. And I've mentioned before, I don't rate Halafihi at all.

As it stands right now, O'Brien getting injured would be a nightmare for us. So another decent hooker would be welcome by me. As long as it doesn't mean AOB leaving or getting put on the reserve list.

A quick google of him does seem to show him up as a bit too good for us where we are right now? But then having seen Kieren Moss play, I'd say the same about him.
