The piece about Hooley is also to give the lad a boost, before he makes his bow for the 1st team.
Build his confidence and let him know that the coaching staff think that he is ready.
If he has anything like the pre season that Jowitt did last season, he'll be doing very well indeed.
It will be interesting to see where Grix, Jowitt and Hooley fit into Chester's plans as the season goes.
We know that Grix can play anywhere in the backs and maybe Jowitt will try #6 but, barring injuries, it will probably be, as you were, with Grix 1st choice FB and Jowitt as back up, with the youngster having to be patient.
Cant wait for the season to start and hope that we have a fit squad, with no injury crisis but, it does look like we have some depth, which can only bode well for 2018.
