Always thought Randell was a very good hooker for us, he just seemed to miss too many games for a quota player.

I didn't really rate him, he was ok but crocked a lot of the time. He was ok on both side of the ball, with the occasional great performance. So far I think J Wood looks better in defence and more of a threat near the line, but time will tell.

Personally an improvement on randall who started well got niggly injuries but then gave away too many pens no ideas on 5th play and passing from acting half woeful pleased to free up his quota spot pity we havent yet

Think Randell got quite a bit of unfair flack by some. Granted, I dont think we quite got the best out of him. I think having such a good debut, and early games, couldn't maintain it. Also had rotten luck with injuries during his time with us. These weren't little niggles, these were serious ones.

Randall was absolutely under rated. Worst thing Tyler did was have a worldy debut, and it was all uphill from there.

Tyler starting and then Woody following worked really well for us, and I think we miss it for sure.

The other way round for me at the moment, but Josh has only played four games where Randell was here two and a half years. And I’d say Kyle is ahead of both.

Think randall didnt play more than 4 games in his last year really

Personally think there is a lot of wishful thinking there but each to their own

Yeah Kyle is a different animal to both to be fair, horses for courses I guess!
